Silver and gold aren’t the only metallics to watch out for in the wedding world. Rose gold is contemporary, sophisticated and works well with other colors. Its application will have a big impact on your wedding look and can be great on cakes, clothing and as the inspiration for your centerpieces.

Sequins and glitter are a perfect match for rose gold tones. It is dramatic in a way that is more subtle than silver or gold. You can incorporate this into your table design with a sparkly tablecloth or runner. Using it on key details is another option and can be done by including rose gold chairs and cutlery. Painted tins also provide an elegant update for centerpieces.

DIY stamped clay botanical pendants are the perfect handmade gift! Add a jump ring and a cord necklace, and you have a stunning piece of jewelry!

You can also use them as tags on your wedding favors.

Aside from the fact that they are luminous and lovely, these polymer clay pendants are a cinch to make. And they are uber easy on the pocketbook.

DIY Stamped Botanical Pendants Supplies List:

• Sculpey Clay in desired color (We find the darker colors work best for this project)
• roller (a rolling pin will also work)
• Pearl EX Pigment Powder
• Matte Varnish
• Sand Paper
• Small Paint Brush
• Various Botanicals (We used Yarrow, Lavender, Evergreen, and Sage)

There are lots of reasons to have an intimate wedding, but for many couples it really boils down to cost. In order to keep their budget in check, Caileigh and Matt slashed their guest list – from 150 people down to 63 – and cut out what they felt were unnecessary costs. They enlisted the help of their talented friends to make their nuptials extra special, and while they kept their budget and their wedding small, there was definitely no shortage of love for these two on their big day!

Special thanks to Scarlet O’Neill for sharing all the gorgeous photos with us!

There is a casual elegance to wedding dresses with pockets. They’re an unexpected detail with a lot of impact. Not only do they add to the design of the dress, but just think about all of those hand-in-pocket poses for your photographs! There’s a distinct off-duty model vibe here. Pockets also provide a contrast to formal styles of dresses and are ideal for brides who want to strike the balance between a laid-back yet chic look. Above all, pockets are a great way to sneak your lipstick or vows into your pocket too.

Picnics are universally adored. It may seem like a bold idea for a wedding but there are so many ways to incorporate a stylish picnic into your day. They are an ideal alternative for elopements and small gatherings. Even if you are having a sit down dinner, you can treat your guests to a picnic box if there are gaps between your ceremony and reception.

For a wedding picnic, focus on decorating your outdoor venue to create a stunning look. Use furniture, signs, and pretty tableware to elevate your setting. You can go for anything from a luxurious Moroccan inspired vibe to an elegant garden picnic with lawn games.
