These days, I am in love with country, old fashioned weddings- especially when sunflowers are involved! Imagine, a beautiful sunflower wedding theme! I think this is such a rustic and romantic theme, which of course is very prominent within wedding trends for this upcoming wedding season. Sunflowers are such big, bold and beautiful flowers that stand out at your wedding, creating a happy and light-hearted ambiance to your wedding.

When I came across this wedding photo shoot, I was smiling from ear to ear. It is exactly the rustic and happy go lucky feel that I picture when thinking of this theme. I love how sunflowers are present throughout the whole wedding- from throwing petals over the bride and groom as they walk outside the chapel doors, to cute sunflower wreaths to decorate the outside venue, to luscious bride and bridesmaids bouquets.

This couple certainly had fun planning their wedding, as you should too! This can be seen with their creative accessories, such as the old ‘just married’ tractor, rustic outdoor venue and of course the wacky (yet still elegant!) sunflower and floral arrangement cake, decorated with fake wooden fondant. How wonderful!

Of course, this wedding theme needs the perfect wedding invitations and matching stationery accessories. These Rustic Yellow Sunflower Wedding Invitations by one of our sponsors, the Antique Chandelier, pictured above are a beautiful choice. They feature a subtle sunflower pattern in the background paired with a bright sunflower yellow color. The elegant design features a vintage swirl and specialized text. Click on this text, or the link below to be taken to the customization page, as these invitations and all matching accessories, such as thank you cards and reception cards are one hundred percent customizable, allowing you to personalize the invitation with your own wedding information.

Remember to have fun planning this adorable and romantic wedding theme- remember to have an old fashioned, good hearted time! And of course have fun!

It seems that this year, winter has lasted longer than ever. We are all longing for summer, the warm breeze and of course taking time off to go on vacation, or even just swimming in the pool on a steaming hot afternoon. However, wedding planning stops for no one, and you have to start organizing everything early! This is why, just at the beginning of spring and summer, you should look ahead and start deciding on details if you are planning a winter wedding.

There is a certain beauty and charm of a winter wedding: horse drawn carriages, amazing snowfall photo opportunities, beautiful decoration options and of course snuggling up with your new husband in front of a roaring fireplace at the end of the day.

Winter weddings have many charms and benefits, so don’t be cautious to plan your wedding during the months of December to even February! Even though a winter wedding may seem a bit daunting (mostly because of the cold!) it has certain pluses that make it a little more enticing. Weddings during the winter can be less costly because December through February is considered the slow season for wedding vendors, so you are able to negotiate prices and many of them offer discounts! You are also able to decorate your wedding with amazing decorations, such as the wedding table settings pictured above. They are simply gorgeous- I love the white and red ball bouquets of flowers (almost like Christmas tree ornaments!). Glitter and ribbon are two things that are very hot this upcoming winter wedding season and all the latest trend setters agree it will dazzle your guests.

These red ribbon and jewel print wedding invitations by the Monogram Gallery are such an item, and will dazzle your guest indefinitely. They feature a cute printed jewel clasp that secures a glittery ribbon, paired with a candy cane stripe background and elegant monogram. These wedding invitations are one hundred percent customizable, and can be personalized with your own wedding information. Click this text (or the link below) to be taken to the customization page, or to browse the rest of the wedding style, where you can find RSVP cards and more winter wedding stationery accessories.

What I love about the inspiration board above, is that it is a modern take on a winter wedding. Bold colored decorations and accessories are chosen in the appropriate places. The dark red bridal bouquet is a solid statement piece that makes the bride stand out against the white background (this is a great accessory to use while taking your wedding photos, especially if your photo shoot is outside in the snow!). I also find the top hats for the groomsmen with red velvet lining an adorable addition.

As for your venue, choose something cute an quaint, yet modern. This red and white church in the middle of a snow covered forest was a lovely find and fits perfectly to this theme. Having an eye-pleasing venue such as this one allows for you to be creative with your wedding photo shoot- don’t forget to take some sweet shots while there is a light snowfall, or walking through the forest with your groom to be.

This wedding theme is unique and of course beautiful. It allows you to experiment with many different possibilities and decorations, that will be memorable to you and your guests for their rest of your lives.

This gorgeous inspiration was created after I stumbled across the gorgeous Ruche wedding bridal collection that seems to have sprung right from the great Gatsby and 1920’s fashion. As the Great Gatsby hits box offices on May 10th (in the United States), directed by Baz Luhrmann, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire (among many other famous stars), many upcoming brides are choosing a roaring twenties, speakeasy, flapper wedding theme. Here we present some Great Gatsby Wedding Ideas.

As I stumbled across this stunning 1920’s themed wedding collection pictured above , I could not help but create an inspiration board paired with one of our vintage damask wedding invitation styles created by the Monogram Gallery. They feature a vintage tea-stained colored background combined with an elegant black damask and classic scroll text- a perfect depiction of 1920’s elegance and glamor. Click on the link below to be taken to the customization page where you are able to fully personalize the invitation to display your wedding information.

As you are planning your vintage wedding, don’t forget to decorate with fitting accessories. I love the phonograph pictured above, and how it would fit elegantly into your wedding photo shoot. As well, choose a venue that would resemble an architectural structure of that era- such as a vintage mansion (think of the amazing parties Gatsby threw in his house!).

Of course, your wedding attire will reflect the fashion that was worn in the roaring twenties. Feathers and sparkles are a must, as well as kitten heels and (fake) fur shawls and coats. Pearl necklaces, bow ties and top hats should also be worn.

If you have any trouble thinking of ideas for this theme, just watch the trailer for the movie! It is definitely an inspiration to and bride to be!

When you think of summer weddings, many different themes come to mind, but one of the most popular ones is of course a rustic sunflower wedding. Sunflowers have been such a popular flower of choice for wedding accessories, as they are big, gorgeous, colorful and of course a symbol of summer.

If you have chosen a sunflower theme, you have probably also chosen an outdoor or rustic venue. To compliment this choice, these wedding invitations pictured above by one of our sponsors, Blissful Wedding, are a wonderful option. They feature a wooden rustic printed background with a gorgeous and bold sunflower graphic. Click on the link below to be directed to the page where you can completely customize the invitation to reflect your own wedding information.

I have found that with a sunflower wedding, you can never go over the top with accessories and sunflower decorations. They are gorgeous flowers that can be placed almost within every aspect of your wedding. I am in love with the table decorations pictured above, where a humongous bouquet of sunflowers are placed in the middle of the table while individual flowers can decorate place settings or form a wreath around candles. This table setting outside is absolutely wonderful as it has even more of a rustic effect, since nature surrounds you entirely. Choose a location such as a quaint forest or gorgeous open field. Don’t forget to choose rustic accessories, such as wooden chairs or even picnic tables for even more of a country feel.

As for your wedding party and their attire, add sunflowers wherever possible- anything goes with this flower! Sunflower bouquets have always been a traditional choice, but you can also choose to have sunflower boutonnieres for the groom or groomsmen. And don’t forget the flower girl! String together a couple of sunflowers and create an adorable wreath as a fashionable head piece or hair accessory (you could even choose to wear one as well!)

Whatever you choose, your guests and family will definitely be impressed and will have an amazing time as you declare you love to your partner.

When I came across this romantic old fashioned country story on GreenWeddingShoes, of a couple that met on a real life cattle drive, which included over a 100 horses and mules being herded over 4 days across 100 miles of rugged terrain, I was thoroughly inspired and impressed. The couple knew their wedding of course had to be inspired by how they met, continuing with the western romantic country theme. They had dreamed of an old fashioned country wedding.

Of course if you’re planning an old fashioned country wedding you need to have the perfect location picked out, and of course the accompanying accessories. Choose a rustic barn location, in late spring or summer, when the warm breeze will pass through the fields and give off an amazing aroma.

To invite your guests to your wedding, choose a rustic wedding invitation that will give your guests an indication of what your wedding theme will be. These old fashioned rustic wedding invitations by the Monogram Gallery pictured above are a perfect choice. They feature a country burlap print pattern in the background paired with an old fashioned and vintage graphic. You can completely customize these invitations to suit your personal needs. Click on the link below to be taken to the customization page.

As for your and your guests wedding attire, don’t forget to remind them to throw on their cowboy boots and hats for a old fashioned country hoedown of a wedding.This theme will definitely take form once you decorate your venue (hopefully a barn or country setting) to the nines with rustic additions. I love how items are placed above old wooden boxes to give it a ‘barn storage’ kind of feel. As well, simple accents such as burlap ribbons or country field flowers displayed in rustic milking containers.

Of course, don’t forget the country music, as guests are definitely going to expect a fun filled full night of partying and dancing! Here are some tunes to get you started:

Processional: Bridal Party: Cowboys and Angels – Dustin Lynch; Bride: Me and You – Kenny Chesney

Recessional: Cowboy Take Me Away – Dixie Chicks

First Dance: Run – George Strait

Have an amazing time planning and of course enjoying your romantic old fashioned country wedding!

If you decide to choose a vintage and royal wedding theme, start to collect ideas and gather different theme options to decide which one would suit you and your groom’s personalities most. Remember that there are many timeless options that are elegantly classic and produce a feeling of rich and royal romance. One such theme would be this teal and golden damask wedding pictured above. It is deliciously decorated in lavish golden and teal vintage accessories that will make your guests feel as if they are attending a royal wedding.

These vintage gold and teal damask wedding invitations pictured above designed by the Monogram Gallery are definitely a royal vintage wedding choice. It’s elegant scroll and damask pattern are featured in the perfect combination of elegance and luxuriousness. The design inspires a vintage castle or palace wedding venue decorated extravagantly with golden and teal accessories.

Experiment with different decoration techniques and textures. These golden painted olive leaves are a wonderful touch to dazzle your tables at your wedding reception. As well, embellish your wedding cake in a similar damask pattern as your wedding invitations and accessories to create a consistency throughout your wedding. Elaborate the design with golden fondant leaves or flowers.

An easy DIY would be to cut out a cardboard monogram(s) of your initial(s) and decorate it heavily with golden sparkles or jewels to hang along the wedding aisle or feature at your wedding reception. You could also spray paint your chairs to match this golden color and drape teal ribbon over the backs for more of an elegant effect.

If you really want to feel like royalty on your wedding day, choose a beautifully crafted (or even hand crafted!) wedding gown that features vintage accessories such as jeweled shoulder sleeves, a faint silk print and or lace additions.

If you plan it properly, this wedding theme could be simply wonderful and absolutely gorgeous. Who shouldn’t feel like a princess on their wedding day?

Pink and black damask has always been a classic choice for weddings for as long as I can remember. It combines elegance with a pop of contrast that is bright and of course, super fun. If you add in a touch of damask, you have a gorgeous wedding theme that will be remembered by your guests for a very long time. Imagine the sophistication of a pink and black damask wedding

This Pink Black Damask Wedding Invitations Collection by the Monogram Gallery pictured above features a black and pink damask pattern paired with a monogram.

You are able to change the monogram, initial names, and of course input your wedding ceremony information on the reverse side.

To fully take advantage of this fun and classic theme, decide where to display your colors and accents specifically. For example, the wedding party pictured above is super cute. It is adorable how the short cut black bridesmaids dresses are paired with hot pink heels and gorgeous bouquets. Try looking for hot pink celosias, tinted pink rice flowers or peonies to fill your bouquets and floral decorations. As for the groomsmen and groom, add a pop of color to their black suits with hot pink ties or boutonnieres.

For your wedding ceremony, decorate your chairs in pink and black ribbons or signs for designating seating. I love the wedding ceremony picture above that shows how you can elegantly arrange flower petals in the aisle to add a creative touch to your ceremony.

And of course don’t forget the damask! The wedding tier cake with cupcakes pictured above is extremely cute and elegant, with a touch of black damask and pink icing. If you decide to, you can even add your monogram to the cake as well. To keep the damask throughout your theme, choose a damask table cloth for your wedding reception decorations, or even damask napkins.

This is such a fun wedding theme, so remember to have fun planning it!

Anticipation is stirring as we all await the arrival and box office opening of the Great Gatsby remake this coming May, written and directed by Baz Luhrmann.Who didn’t fantasize at one point about marrying the great Gatsby, and now even more, Leonardo DiCaprio as he portrays the sexy ever so mysterious character? What could be more romantic than a Great Gatsby wedding theme? This era, of 1920’s fashion, partying and lavish wardrobes has inspired many brides to choose an art deco, speakeasy and flapper themed wedding. It allows you to experiment with elaborate embellishments; feathers, diamonds, pearls, and gold ribbon. Impress your guests with an amazing venue, such as a old vintage hotel or ballroom, decorated to the nines. Once I saw this vintage Great Gatsby inspired wedding in Belle Magazine, I knew it would be the perfect inspiration. I love how the tables are decorated with enormous feather plumes, which have replaced the traditional bouquet of flowers, and the venue is to die for. The grand staircase would be optimal to take wedding and guest photos and the wedding reception area is perfect for that speakeasy vintage aura.

Tell guests to come in costume; dress up for the occasion. Flapper dresses (modernly modified of course), such as this beautifully crafted 1920’s inspired wedding gown are perfect. Beautiful beaded headpieces, headbands, veils, (fake) fur shawls and pearls of course are also a must. As for the men, have your groom and groomsmen wear classic suit jackets, paired with matching vests, top hats and shoes that could be associated with the Roaring Twenties.

You can inform your guests of your wedding, and of course the dress code with these elegantly designed art deco wedding invitations by the Monogram Gallery. They feature an art deco antique swirl graphic design on a printed vintage paper with a warm gold shade that fit perfectly with this Great Gatsby 1920’s theme. Click on the link below to be taken to the customization page, where you can completely personalize the design. As well, you can choose from a wide variety of other complimenting products with this design, such as RSVP cards and more.

Last but not least, don’t forget to impress your guests with lavishly decorated finger foods and obviously your wedding cake! I fell in love with the one pictured above, as it has been painted gold and decorated with a cute flower and a beautiful strain of pearls. This is one wedding cake that your guests will remember for a long time!

Remember to add an element of fun to your wedding photo shoot; of course use props and additions that will fit with your art deco theme. As mentioned before the grand stair case or elegant ballroom would be a perfect location.

Have fun planning! This is such an amazing theme and the sky is the limit for all of the things you can do!

As a wedding invitation designer, I am always on the hunt for the latest wedding trends and themes, as brides and of course I, want and need to be up to date on whats popular.

To compliment these wedding invitations, and of course form your black grey and white wedding theme, the pictures above should give you plenty of inspiration. For starters, decorate your tables at your wedding reception with grey and black accessories, such as vases and candles. Choose a lovely white flower to fill in the centers, such as paperwhites, kale, tulips, gladiolus, roses or dahlias.

For your own bridal bouquet, pair one of the mentioned flowers above with grey accents, such as silver brunia or grey ribbon. You may even choose to spray paint decorative leaves to add in as well.

For your bridesmaids dresses and suits for your groomsmen, choose a light or dark shade of grey to compliment your wedding theme. Groomsmen suits that feature a checkered pattern are always classy and elegant.
