Here comes the flower girl, all dressed in cuteness! How sweet is the adorable little flower girl? She gets all dolled up and gets the fun job of walking down the aisle and sprinkling it with flowers. Style her in a cute flower girl frock that complements your wedding theme. Keep it simple with a matching white dress or get her into a darling yellow sundress. We rounded up a selection of our favorite flower girl dress trends.

Springtime weddings are all about easy, breezy outdoor settings. A Grecian-inspired dress is perfect with pretty floral headpieces like those featured in our Fab Finds.

Adorable Sundress

Sunny yellow for the girl that’ll start up all the “oohs and aahs.” A short and sweet sundress is all you really need for a cutie-pie.

Pretty Pastel

Pretty in pastel! Pastel colors are fantabulous for spring! Try baby blue, powder pink, or even lilac.

Something Blue

Here’s a cute idea – your something blue. Dress your flower girl in a blue floral-print dress and count her as your something blue!

What kind of dress will your flower girl be wearing?

The Cassandra is a modern glamour design made with bugle beads and rhinestones on satin. Get the satin in the color of your choice from white to champagne to ivory, and it’s no extra charge.

There’s even pretty colors like pink, purple, and blue. Wear that “something blue” in teal like this Gina sash.

The Stella has a stunning starburst design with a large focal point. It’d go well with a simple long wedding gown with a high neckline.

The Brenda has more of a sweet and vintage appeal. The large flower will show that carefree frolics-in-the-field girl in you.

The Melanie is made of crystal, rhinestone and tiny beaded silver applique. We like the option of tying these sashes right over our dress or even having a seamstress sew it right on.

The bridal sashes can even be worn in your hair. Lose the veil to really show off the bling on the this headband.

Better yet, get matching sashes for all your lovely bridesmaids. Have them all wear a different color of the rainbow or match a color to your wedding theme.

We saved the best for last! Our absolute favorite is this diamond wave bridal belt featuring bugle beads and rhinestones.

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.)

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?

Thank you – the best thing you can say to everyone that’s a part of your wedding. Thank your mama, your gift givers, your ring bearer, and definitely thank your bridesmaid because girl you were a bridezilla! But it’s your big day, so we totally understand. Just give out some cute thank-you cards to show your appreciation. The wedding day is the biggest event in a girl’s life and it takes a lot of work to put together, so a personal card will be well received. This week’s fab finds are from mother-daughter duo, lilcubby.

1. Buy a stack of these thank-you cards to give out to everyone that came out or gave you a gift. The color of the heart can be changed to match your wedding theme.

2. Here’s an adorable card with a pair of lovebirds standing on an acoustic guitar. All of lilcubby’s cards are blank on the inside with room for you to write a special note.

3. Send big props to all your photographers! They captured all the beautiful moments so you can look back and remember the best day of your life.

4. How bout that florist? Florists need love too, so send a special card their way!

5. The lil ones will love getting a card in the mail. Ring bearer and flower girl cards, with a lil colored bow tie and heart.

6. Here’s a card just for the maid of honor (send one to the bridesmaids too)!

7. Matching cards for the best man and groomsmen.

8. And of course, gotta send one to the wonderful ‘rents and in-laws.

Show all your wedding guests and helpers your appreciation and pass out those wedding thank you cards like cheddar. Check out lilcubby on Etsy to buy any of these cards.

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.

The baseball wedding is a fun and unique theme. Take it to the field or keep it indoors. You can get majorly creative with this All-American idea from the cake right down to the invitations. How would you plan your baseball wedding?

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.

5. An ivory rose headpiece made with pine cone! Quite enchanting like the delicate rose in “The Beauty and the Beast.”

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.

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).

Hot outdoor weddings call for ice cream sundaes. A spread of toppings like granola, fudge, and sprinkles will bring the kid out of everyone.
