Do I know exactly what I am looking at? Not really

Do I know exactly what I am looking at? Not really. Am I mesmerized? Absolutely. I’m honestly a fan of over the top ceiling arrangements. I think they add so much to a room, and you really don’t need much more decor if you’re going all out on the ceiling.

I also love the bamboo-looking sticks hanging, they create so much dimension alongside the pampas grass and the lights! Let me know if you’re having a ceiling arrangement for your wedding venue and what it’s going to look like! Comment down below!

Pretty postage! One of the little joys in life tha

Pretty postage! One of the little joys in life that make me oh so happy! I know that sending invitations online has become really popular for keeping things in order, but snail mail is just so nice for special occasions! How many other times in your life will you have this many letters to send? ⁣
⁣
If you wanted to do e-invites for organizational purposes and because of how easy it is, and ALSO want to send letters I have a quick solution! You still have your thank you notes to send out, and that’s always more special coming in the mail than in a text that can get lost super easily! This way, you have the “best of both worlds.” -Hannah Montana 🎤⁣

These centerpieces! 😍 How do you all feel about

These centerpieces! 😍 How do you all feel about tall centerpieces like this? I think they’re so gorgeous, and you can make the flower arrangements as extravagant at you please, because you don’t have to worry about them being in everyone’s way! ⁣
⁣
A spooky tall option for a centerpiece that I’ve been seeing recently are candelabras! They’re the perfect mix of antique and unique! ⁣
⁣
What kind of centerpieces are you having? Comment below!⁣

Stop the presses these drinks are adorable! Are yo

Stop the presses these drinks are adorable! Are you having a signature drink at your wedding? A great way to save money for your bar, while also having a signature drink, is to throw a “Stock the Bar” engagement party! Ask the guests attending to bring a bottle of alcohol, and save it to use at your wedding! ⁣
⁣
The only thing you would be paying for at that point, is a few bartenders and the signature drinks, everything else is paid for! What ways are you saving money on alcohol for your wedding? Comment below!⁣

Tell me this cake doesn’t look like an abstract

Tell me this cake doesn’t look like an abstract painting! 🎨 It is so gorgeous and looks DELICIOUS. And can we talk about those flowers? 😍 If you’re planning on putting fresh flowers on your wedding cake, do it with caution. Many flowers are highly toxic, so do some research on which flowers are safe for cake decorating!⁣
⁣
Here’s some quick tips!⁣
🌸 Fresh flowers should be used strictly for decoration purposes.⁣
🌸 Never push flower stems into the cake. ⁣
🌸 There must be a barrier between the flowers and the cake. ⁣
🌸 Toxic flower varieties to avoid altogether include foxgloves, gypsophilia, hyacinths, Calla lilies, and Lily-of-the-Valley.⁣

Did you know that Veuve Clicquot is in the list of

Did you know that Veuve Clicquot is in the list of the top 10 most expensive champagnes with a bottle from 1841 coming it at $34,000? 🤯 You could pay for your whole wedding with that one bottle! Not to worry though, this popular champagne does have a more budget friendly option, with their $50 750ml bottle. 🍾⁣
⁣
Are you popping champagne on your wedding day or do you have something else planned? A couple we talked to at the Lansing bridal show yesterday planned on cracking open a beer instead. They have hopes of finding some customizable pilsner glasses for the wedding party (Which we are working on acquiring by the way)! How cute is that? 🍻 ⁣
