{trends} denim details

It's no surprise that I find denim perfectly fitting for a wedding {e.g. yesterday's inspiration board} when it's done correctly.  From tailored groomsmen to invitations and table settings, denim can be the new "it" fabric for weddings. 

Even guests can get in on the action...

{trends} school is cool

 It's September!! Can you believe it?  Yippee! I'm such a autumn girl the changing of the leaves, the crisp air and any excuse to hit the back to school aisle at Target is okay by me. Granted, I no longer need to pick up a snazzy new trapper keeper {Ha! do they still make those?} but I love everything that has to do with going back to school.  I broke down a few of my favorite subjects for all you school inspired wedding fans.   

Class is in session! 

Homeroom

How cute are these old school desks and don't you love these decorated lockers?

Period 1: English Literature 

If you appreciate timeless classics and Mr. Darcy has you swooning then your favorite class is definitely English Literature.  Accessories like a ruffly capelet and pretty hair fascinator are romantic while a book mobiles add a bit of whimsy.

Period 2: Science

Hydrogen, Oxygen, Lithium oh my! If the periodic table and is more your style then you'll love a Science inspired wedding filled with test tube centerpieces and beakers details.

Period 3: Art

If you're not afraid of a little color and love being creative then you will love Art. This is the perfect subject for all you DIY brides that are going the extra mile to inject personality and individuality on your big day.

Period 4: Lunch

Have your guests pick up their buffet style meal and treats in vintage lunch trays and have them grab a seat in one of those brightly colored chairs that remind you of your school's cafeteria.

Period 5: Gym

Jock or not, you'll love Gym! I love the idea of transforming a basketball court as a reception lounge and handing out these fun pennants for your guests to cheer you on.   Go Love!

Period 6: Math

If you love #2 pencils and equations like you + me = ♥ then Math is probably the subject for you! 

Class dismissed...

{friday } outdoor pews

Happy Friday friends! 

When I kept coming across these outdoor church pews more and more, I knew I had to feature them in my Friday Faves.  I love the concept of bring the indoors out and seeing these pews all dressed up with pretty flowers and pillows make them feel extra special. If you're unable to find/rent the number of pews needed, you can always mix in some chairs for more eclectic feel.

{friday faves} paper fans

Happy Friday friends! 

Did you spot the cute paper fans in Kelly + Ira's wedding on Monday?  They are pretty genius, right?  Paper fan are the perfect addition to any outdoor ceremony for keeping your guests cool.  What I love most about them, is how graphic they are with their pretty font, whimsical caricatures and how they can double up as a wedding program too!
