Fresh Wedding Details

April 3, 2014 · 4 Comments

As wedding season begins to , there’s always a desire to make your special day just that, “special” and unique. Trends come and go just as fast as the season does, but there are many ways to incorporate fresh new and creative details that will make your wedding stand out from all the rest. From bold color pairings to thoughtful parting gifts to new traditional wedding bands, the following take the ever common ideas which seem to be less innovation, and add some character back into wedding details.

Fresh Wedding Details...Garlands

1. I’m a sucker for a lovely draped garland, but think beyond beautiful paper with sayings. Go gorgeous with a few strands of glass bubbles and votives that will last throughout the night outdoors. String fresh spring blooms and hang above each table or throughout special reception areas for a stunning statement. {Glass bubble garland image}Fresh Wedding Details...Flower Garlands

2. Whether you consider yourself a foodie or not, put some extra attention in the way your food is presented to guests. Have your decor flow onto buffets and beverage stations, or experiment with the hottest trend in serving comfort foods in this hands free way. {See more food serving ideas here}Fresh Wedding Details...Serving foods trends

3. Make use of the natural surroundings and your environment, even if your Spring wedding is indoors. Hang ribbons with heirloom family photos onto a nearby tree so guests mingle, or bring the outdoors inside by creating a garden for place cards. {See more garden inspiration here}Fresh Wedding Details...Nature Inspired

4. Settings with style will make guests feel special. To compliment the fresh feel of the season, place napkins wrapped in fragrant herbs, a single stem rose,  designating one type for women and the other for men.

5. Keep guests refreshed by amping up the flavor or boring water or juices. Get creative with herbs and vegetables, like rosemary and lemon, or mango and papaya.

6. Colors aren’t anything fresh, but I’ve been seeing bold color combinations popping up that really bring a freshness to weddings, my favorite at the moment being fuchsia and indigo. Tone down this pairing by using a light chambray and pastel pinks. When working within the same color palette, mixing patterns and textures becomes easier, like this season’s lovely trend of pairing denim with rose hued ombre tulle. Take it a step further, and have your servers dress  match with an inexpensive colored ties.

7. Amplify your bridal look with bold colors and accessories. Reinvent the traditional “something blue” and colored gown. Remember to stick to classic silhouettes and styles, while delicate lace will make the look even more romantic. For bolder bride, the easiest way to make a statement is using inspiration from current Spring fashion trends, like crop tops. Fresh Wedding Details..Elizabeth Fillmore

8. Make gifts for your bridal party and favors for guests not only personal but useful. An innovative way is with  engraved business card cases with each guests’ name and their table number hidden inside. Don’t forget to send your out-of-town guests off in the right way either. A personal thank you, and a small gift bag with late night treats will be sure to make their experience special. cc-Fresh Wedding Details..Engraved business card cases

9. Choose “new” traditional wedding bands that reflect your personal style as a couple.   These updated versions of the classic symbol of love, use multiple metals, different shapes, and colored stones, creating marvels that are modern, yet eternal. Fresh Wedding Details..Wedding Band

10. Pastels will forever be a popular trend amongst Spring weddings. It’s romantic, simple, classic and works well with just about any look and style. Ombre is still very much a beautiful trend, especially when done in delicate pale pink ruffles, resembling rose petals. Accessorize with feminine accessories and pretty yet modern origami cake toppers.

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
