Laser Cut Wedding Invites – A Popular Paper Trend
Posted in Uncategorized, Unique Wedding Ideas, Wedding Ideas, Wedding trends

Laser cut details are becoming very popular in wedding invitations and accessories. These specially created pieces could be on the same scale of beauty as works of art. Each decoration is created individually by using cutting edge technology that allows for an incredibly intricate design.

This gorgeous laser cut booklet covers from KatBluStudio could be used for wedding programs or invitations and incorporates the delicate yet popular damask design in a personalized way.


Laser cut invitations are so unique and will hopefully leave your guests feeling excited to see what other details could be included in your big day.

Laser cut invites can be customized with any level of detail. Create an entire custom made project or perhaps specially detailed accents like the gorgeous gate on the invite above.

Laser cut items are not limited to wedding invitations and programs; wedding guest favors can be enhanced with some laser detailing as well.  Everyone loves Jordan almonds and packaging them in these customizable laser cut favor boxes will keep your guests enjoying their treats in a memorable and creative way.


If you are looking for an especially affordable particularly unique way of customizing any theme then laser cut paper products are the way to go. These Eiffel towers would be perfect for a French themed wedding!

Fairytale weddings can become more magical with these laser cut carriages and may even get your guests feeling like royalty at your grand event.

Thinking outside the glass? Laser cut paper details can enhance every detail of your wedding and now your guests will never lose track of their glass during the reception. These delicate and beautiful glass markers from Rocheleau Designs could bring the idea of sharpies on red cups to your wedding in a classy way.

Cupcake towers are a popular trend for wedding receptions and adding a little detail to these tasty treats can make all the difference. These cupcake wraps from Back to Zero are so unique and add just the right detail to enhance the beauty and artistry that is a wedding cupcake.

We love when the new couple has a special area dedicated to them at their receptions. These laser cut signs give a beautiful vintage detail without breaking the bank and can be easily preserved for memories after the event.

Laser cut weddings can be an especially beautiful and incredibly unique way to customize your wedding and leave your guests completely enveloped in your theme and vision. Happy planning!

Spring Weddings – 6 Tips to Success (Part 2)
Posted in Unique Wedding Ideas, Wedding Ideas, Wedding Themes, Wedding trends

In our last blog post, we introduced the first three tips and ideas for creating successful spring weddings. Today we continue to delve deeper into the topic and uncover three more interesting and unique ideas for brides to use when planning their own spring weddings.

1. Signature Sips: Spring weddings usually take place outdoors and when the heat can get the best of you, a refreshing beverage can almost always do the trick. Consider creating a signature cocktail using the flavors of the season to incorporate spring into every aspect of your celebration. If you prefer to have a non-alcoholic option, a unique option is a customizable lemonade bar. You could feature personalized or monogrammed glasses or Mason jars for guests to create their own custom lemonade with flavors that are also associated with the spring season. Use fresh or muddled strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, jasmine or even mint for a cool and refreshing treat that every guest sure to enjoy. The goal is to associate as many subtle details with the season as possible; after all, the date is still all about you.

2      Wedding cake & desserts: Each and every wedding cake is unique and beautiful in its own right. Consider incorporating floral notes and flavors when it comes to creating your wedding cake. Beautiful edible flowers cascading through a multi-tiered cake could create a very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing piece of edible art. Don’t be afraid of adding little touches of pastel color to your wedding cake to incorporate the spring theme into every aspect of your dessert options. If you are hoping to encourage your guests to snack on more than just wedding cake, a great dessert option would be multicolored pastel macaroons. These tasty little treats are not only delicious and delectable but their pastel range of colors will bring a pop of color into your palette and will continue to express your spring wedding theme in a subtle and classy way.

3. Wedding favors: Takeaways can be some of the most memorable aspects of attending a wedding. You want your wedding favors to leave your guests with a feeling that will be cohesive with the experience they had at your wedding. Make these favors unique to you and your spouse but also make these favors cohesive with your spring wedding theme. Fun ideas could include a pastel colored candy bar with personalized or monogrammed take-home containers for each guest to fill with your favorite pastel colored candies. This candy bar idea is especially popular with the kids and families, but by having the take-home containers readily available; it will limit the amount of candy that each person can take. Other options include lovebirds, personalized spring cookies, candles, bottle openers or even wine stoppers. What you choose to give your guests will be unique to your wedding and how you incorporate these favors into your spring wedding is completely dependent upon your personal style. The possibilities truly are endless.

Spring Weddings – 6 Tips for Success (Part 1)
Posted in Wedding Ideas, Wedding Themes

Spring weddings allow for a fresh pop of color, a delightfully light and airy environment and uniquely sweet and subtle details that help create a wedding experience as refreshing as the spring season itself. In part one of our two part series; we will introduce 3 ways that any bride-to-be can use to “spring” their wedding into success.

1.Wardrobe: From the wedding dress to the wedding shoes and everything in between, the beauty is in the details. The two pairs of shoes below for example, stay consistent with wedding white while incorporating the beauty of spring blossoms. We love the embellishment encrusted heel and the gold tone details. These heels paired with a light and flowing tulle, feathered or chiffon dress would be a beautiful look for any spring event.

2.Flowers: what could be more intrinsic of a spring wedding than flowers? With the entire season centered on the blooming of new life, incorporating pastel colors and unique elements of nature will help convey a beautifully executed accent for your event. Don’t be afraid to use greenery in ways that you may not have originally thought possible. A very popular trend for spring weddings is incorporating succulents into bridal bouquets and centerpieces. Also consider using tree limbs, branches and extra greenery to add dimension to seasonal flowers like tulips or lilacs. Any combination of these flowers will leave your guests praising the beauty of your floral design.

3.Food: when spring has sprung, it brings into season of whole new pallets of fruits and vegetables for our choosing. When creating your dishes, consider using fresh ingredients that are unique to the spring season. The flavor of your food will be associated with the time of year you are being married and will be just another detail adding to the cohesive theme of your spring wedding. Consider using light flavors like berry, lemon, vanilla and almond to add layers of flavor to a garden spring salad or even a main entrée. The possibilities are endless and are based on your personal palette and budget.
