If you've been following my blog regularly, you know my little sister just got engaged! She and her fiance have set a date for early next fall...I don't know which one of us is more excited about the possibilities for fall wedding decor.
Anywho, we've been going to bridal shows, and I thought I'd share some of the fun little nuggets I've seen. All of these photos have been taken with my iPhone in questionable lighting, so excuse the quality...
Broach Bouquets:
If you have antique or heirloom broaches, how cool would this be? If you don't, you could find some vintage broaches at antique stores...it could be your something old! Gorgeous! (Looks like this bouquet needs one more...odd groupings. Always odd groupings.)
A Touch of Vintage:
Wrapping your centerpieces in lace. I'm loving the vintage feel that lace adds to this arrangement.
Floral Topiaries:
This picture doesn't do this floral topiary justice. I love the simplicity of the white carnations. Imagine three of these at various heights at the appetizer table...
Tree Trunk Pedestals:
I'm seeing a lot of tree trunk pedestals being used to achieve levels. The rustic pedestal contrasts nicely with softness of wedding flowers. The overall look above is kind of shabby chic...
Textured Glass:
Don't these textured glass vases look so pretty? I love the cabbage in this floral arrangement too!
Have you ever been to a bridal show? It can be totally overwhelming. There are so many ideas, vendors, people, colors, etc., etc. I suggest taking some friends and your camera with you. Later, you can go through all of your pictures and narrow down your ideas.
Have a great day! :)





My sister and I got married within two years of each other so we went to A LOT of bridal shows - I got engaged 2 months after her wedding (we had an almost 2 year engagement) and they can be quite overwhelming. I love that cabbage in the last arrangement. What a unique idea!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you know "bridal-mania" well then! I think I would be pooped out after 2 years! :)
DeleteSuch fun! You can feel like you are getting married all over again! I hope my sisters get engaged soon so I can help with the plans!!
ReplyDeleteExactly! It's like getting married again, but without all of the pressure to make so many decisions so quickly! :)
