We say the couple that cycles together, stays together. So throw a fun off-the-beaten-path bicycle-themed wedding! It’s spring after all, and with sunny warm weather, it’s the perfect time to ride a bike. And if you and your man love going for long bike rides, then you’re sure to love a bicycle wedding theme. It’s such a fun idea you can get super creative with from the invitations to riding with your guests. Here’s some inspiration to get your gears turning!

1. Send out chic bicycle chevron print invitations to all your guests. We say, “BYOB!” (Bring your own bike because it’s dinner and biking.)

Photo from Party Simplicity

2. Depending on when and where your wedding is, it can get really warm. Set out a bicycle woven basket with hand fans. Your guests will greatly appreciate them.

3. Here are some cute wedding favors – bicycle bells. Everyone will be hootin’ and hollerin’ and ringin’ for the newlyweds!

4. AHH-DORBS! Let the kiddos have fun too. Send the ring bearer and flower girl down the aisle on a tricycle.

5. Say your I-do’s and kiss your husband under your very own bicycle wedding arch.

6. After the ceremony, hop on your bikes (guests too) and ride over to the reception party. This will be a ride you’ll always remember, plus a great photo op.

7. Decorate your big cake with bicycle designs or add a bicycle cake topper.

8. And with cake, things are sure to get messy. Bicycle-print napkins? Yes, please!

Warm sunny weather is the perfect time to dust off the bikes. If you’re a cycling couple or just looking for a fun wedding trend, go bicycling! Keep it simple with bicycle-designed invitations and cake, or encourage everyone to ride their bikes to your big day. What type of bike would you ride to a wedding?

Hey batter batter! It’s baseball season! We love going to a baseball game with good company while soakin in the rays and enjoying some Cracker Jacks. If you and your hubs-to-be love baseball as much as we do, consider a baseball wedding theme. You and your guests are sure to have fun at this All-American wedding. Go big with the ceremony on the diamond field, or get creative with your reception (remember to try the food station idea). Check out these pictures for some baseball inspiration.

Vintage Wedding Card Holder – Fab Finds
Posted in Unique Wedding Ideas, Wedding Products, Wedding trends

Vintage anything is what we crave! Timeless and beautiful means whatever is vintage, will always be enjoyed. We here at Bravo Bride are especially excited to share our fab finds of the week from Etsy store, Southbury Treasures. They make super cute vintage wedding cardholders which are customizable to your wedding’s color theme. Whether you want a white, mint, or pink cardholder, or whether you want it decorated with a rose or a peacock feather, you can have it however you’d like!

Southbury Treasure specializes in vintage birdcage wedding card holders. After your wedding, this will be your keepsake, filled with cards with lovely messages from your friends and family.

A beautiful birdcage is great for decorating a vintage wedding. Hang up the cages with adorable little birds (we recommend fake birds!) or just as-is.

The cardholders are even pretty table center pieces or to leave at the gift table. Collect money and gift cards all in a place everyone will see.

You can buy sets and use them as table markers, labeling the cards with a table number. You can even use it as signs at your different food stations.

Southbury Treasures also designs card box holder suitcases. Very big and spacious, inside you can add your personal touches with actual objects of special meaning like a bottle of your favorite wine.

We love the idea of reusing these suit cases as home decor. Stack em up in the living room to us as storage. Then toss in some of your books, a throw blanket, and a few board games.


Once the two of you finally get a house together, you’ll be so happy you got a mailbox wedding card holder. Get this in any style of font and text that you want. Then afterwards, plop in front of your new home.

Check out more of Southbury Treasures’ goodies online at Etsy!

Show them how thankful you are to have them all out, by giving them a unique wedding favor. If you’re having a spring wedding, consider one of these one-of-a-kind gifts your guests will truly appreciate.

6. A bit of vintage theme is this tiara strung with pearls and wispy white flowers. It’d be gorgeous with a vintage lace wedding dress.

Food Stations Wedding Trend
Posted in Unique Wedding Ideas, Wedding Ideas, Wedding Themes, Wedding trends

Photo from Visionari

Earlier this month, we shared a really hip new wedding trend – food trucks. But another trend that’s just as tasty are food stations. Yes, it’s like good ol family times. Send out the message: It’s BYOD (Bring Your Own Dish)! It’s so reminiscent of family reunions, breaking bread, and making memories. Taste a little bit of this and taste a little bit of that. Or if you want, you can set up food stations. Have a running theme with your favorite eats like a huge cereal bar for Sunday Brunch, or a seafood station for a nautical wedding. Whatever you like, get creative!

Now that we’ve got you excited, we’re sure you’re starving for some more creative ideas. We’ve rounded up our favorite food stations for your hungry minds.

1. Taco Station

We love heading to Taco night with the girls, so why not make it The Taco Big Day? Get fancy with fish tacos or have a build-your-own taco station. Stock up on the guac!

2. Chinese Take Out

Serve some Chinese in cute little take-out containers. A wok station would be major but pre-filled boxes with stir-fry, some potstickers and egg rolls will be golden!

3. Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup

A bit of warm tomato soup shooters and grilled cheese triangles (sans crust).

Chic Chevron Accessories to Wear at Your Wedding
Posted in Fabulous Finds, Unique Wedding Ideas, Wedding Themes, Wedding trends

The chevron print is a major trend this year. It’s a fun and chic print, way jazzier than its cousin, the basic stripe. We’re even seeing chevron stripes at weddings like cute tablecloths and adorable photo props. Here at BravoBride, we think it’s essential to accessorize your BWD (big white dress)! If you’re looking for ideas, try some chic chevron wedding accessories. Here are 8 chevron accessories you can buy:

1. Pick your 5 colors with this fun set of ponytail holders. Tie your hair with one or gift them all to your bridesmaids.

2. Here’s another cute bridesmaids gift. The blue-and-white clutch is the perfect “faux neutral”  that will go with any bridesmaids dress color.

3. Pop on a hip little cuff to show off your funky style.

4. Pin a fabric flower to your bouquet for a bit of a girly touch.

5. Or try a chevron-print bow! Clip it on your shoes or even in your hair.

6. For something more classic, a beaded chevron pattern sash does the trick. Adds a bit of sparkle to your dress.

7. When it gets a bit chilly, you’ll be glad you bought this lovely shawl. Very elegant and it’ll complement your dress (unlike an oversize tuxedo jacket).

8. Here’s a chevron wedding accessory your man will love! The garter belt set includes one you can keep and one to toss.

Make your wedding day fun and play with the chevron trend. Work the jazzy stripe with any of these accessories such as a classic beaded sash or a sexy little garter belt. What kind of chevron accessory would you wear?
