Use rosemary, an herb of love and remembrance, to preserve memories of your seaside wedding. Guests can take home this fragrant sea salt to sprinkle over potatoes or use as an ingredient in focaccia. After preparing, decant into airtight containers, and label with your new, shared initial and wedding date.

Personalize Your Table Numbers

natasha

Who says that you have to do traditional numbers for your table numbers? Table numbers are just another small detail that you can personalize. If you or your fiancé are woodworkers, design the numbers yourself. You could also write out the numbers instead of the traditional numerals. Pictures are another great option. Take your engagement pictures and customize them for your tables or take a pic of your precious little pouch. Another option is to name the tables after local attractions in your city. You could also use special places you and your fiancé have been to instead of numbers. Your wedding theme can also be carried out to your table numbers. For example, if you are having a beach themed wedding then name the tables things such as starfish, seashells, etc. Whatever option you choose, have it reflect your wedding and your tastes and it is sure to be a hit!

Guest Book Idea~ Calling all Sports Fans!

natasha Leave a comment

 

Are you or your fiancé avid sports fans? Then show it at your wedding! Instead of a traditional guest book, sign a football, baseball, or basketball. If hockey is your thing, then have everyone sign a hockey stick! All of these items would look wonderful displayed in a shadow box or hanging on the wall. If you like this idea but want to play it down a bit, just frame a picture of yourselves dressed in your favorite team’s jerseys (or going to a sporting event) and leave plenty of ink-friendly matting around the frame.

Rehersal Bouquet

rehersal bouquet

A bride cannot be expected to walk down the isle without a bouquet. So, what do you do for the rehearsal? Traditionally the bride will carry a bouquet made from ribbons, which came from her bridal show. A bridesmaid can be put in charge of collecting all the ribbons at the shower. A simple handle can be bought at any craft store for only a small cost. All you have to do is hot-glue the ribbons on. This makes a fun and meaningful practice bouquet!

Personalized Luminaries

luminaries

Here is a cute little idea from the girls at the knot. Take three picture frames and remove the glass and backings. Then take vellum paper and print your image on the paper. After that staple, the paper to the back of the three frames. Then attach the three frames together and form a triangle. Place a candle (in a holder for fire safety) in the middle and you have a beautiful personalized luminary. These luminaries can display table numbers, dinner menus, special notes to the guests, or a combination of the three!
