Tie the Knot!

Okay, this one is for the gentlemen! Usually our blog pertains to women and the bridal trends that every woman should know about. Well, men... it's your lucky day because this post is simple, yet all about you!

There is so much that goes into a brides gown and overall look for her wedding day. What about the guys?! - Traditional neck tie or classic bow tie? We love them both and can't seem to choose a favorite! 

This classic black bow tie is so very handsome and is a look that will never get old! 

This fun yellow bow tie to match his bride has got us grinning from ear to ear! We love this fun look! While it is not for everyone, this is a great way to show personality!

Ladies, if your man is more of the traditional type then, well we are sure he already goes for the neck tie. There are always fun ways to mix it up with a fun color! 

Gentlemen, no matter which tie you choose, or whether you prefer quirky or traditional... Just tie the knot! After all, it is your special day!

Bouquets Galore!

While the two of us are pretty traditional in taste, we are always open to new ideas when it comes to wedding trends. We are huge fans of the traditional flower bouquet for your special day but for all of you unconventional brides, here are a few fresh ideas that can make a beautiful wedding unique!


This alternative to the traditional bouquet is beautiful, we love the soft wispy layers!


   This pearl version of a traditional bouquet is very elegant. Perfect for a small intimate ceremony! 


We are loving this new idea! Carrying a lantern in place of a bouquet is the perfect fit for a southern rustic wedding! 

These are just three of the many alternatives to the traditional bouquet. Let us know what your favorites are!

Burlap Wedding Details

 Oh, how we love burlap - it's rustic and chic, provides great textures, and super cheap! This warm fabric has made a huge comeback with the rise of vintage and barn wedding trends and we have recently started to see it at beach weddings too! There are so many ways you can incorporate this trendy cloth into your big day. Here are a few of our favorites..



What do you think?  Will you be weaving burlap details into your wedding?
