Pumpkined Nuptials

The Hostess List

I’m no Halloween fanatic (thanks goodness it’s over!! *whew*), but  I LOOOOOOVE Fall!! Autumn is arguably the most beautiful season of the year (rivaled only by Winter) and it is especially special because I’m a Fall (November) baby! (We accept cash, credit, checks, and other gifts all month long!) So with that in mind, I wanted to create a Fall-esque theme–or three–for you to enjoy. So, enjoy!

For the Love of Feathers!

The Hostess List

So my sister (and by “sister” I mean friend who might as well be my sister) and she brought up the topic of my [hypothetical] wedding. So OF COURSE I sent her the links the ceremony and reception dresses, bridesmaid dresses, flower girl dresses, and *MY WEDDING* Pinterest board.

And then she asked me where I wanted to get married. I told her in a cathedral! (Very faerie indeed!) But you know, cathedral rules can be picky–especially if you’re not Catholic. Or whatever denomination built the structure you have in mind. One of the pickier common rules that came to mind was no real flower petals. Much as I love my flower petals, I also love creativity. So off the cuff I said,

“If they don’t let me use flower petals, whatever. I’ll have the flower girls use something else. Like feathers.”

“Feathers?!?!” we exclaimed in unison. “Oooooooooh……!!! I never…

SucculentSucculents Collage

Succulents are such a lovely, green (literally!) idea for weddings! For the bride who maybe isn’t the the most into flowers, yet still wants plenty of natural greenery at her wedding and wedding-related events, succulents are the perfect idea. They can be used in:

  • Bouquets & boutonnieres
  • Hair wreaths
  • Tabletop decor & centerpieces
  • Ring bearer pillows
  • General decor

How do you feel about succulents?

Usually when one hears the word “bar,” they think of, well, a bar! But in recent years the word bar has come to mean many different things to the people who frequent them. “Bauble Bar.” “Blow-Out Bar.” “Sushi Bar.” You get the idea. But bars need not only consist of alcohol, jewelry, blow drys, and sushi–they can be perfect for your next event! Be it wedding reception dinner party or church anniversary banquet, selecting one or more of the bars below can be a great way to leave a fabulous impression.

FROZEN: The Wedding

The Hostess List

I am absolutely, positively, en-TIRELY obsessed with Frozen. Oh lookey there, you too! 🙂 I unabashedly cry every time I watch Anna sing “Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?” and the parents “die” and walk around singing things like “Love is an open doooooor…!” “‘It’s crazy! We finish each others-‘ ‘SANDWICHES!'” and especially, “For the first time in foreveeeeerrr…!!!” I even routinely ask a male friend of mine if he wants to build a snowman. Seriously, every time I have something serious to discuss with him, he thinks I’m going to ask about building snowmen! Yes, I am most certainly obsessed. So with that in mind, here are four fabulous Frozen wedding themes! Enjoy! xx
