Lobsters for Life?

Your job’s a joke. You’re broke. But is your love life really D.O.A.?

Probably not if you are shopping for super cute Bride Tank Tops at Bridal Party Tees.

We are adding a new concept to our collection: matching, custom tanks that say Lobsters for Life. We love it, and here’s a list of reasons why:

  • The real deal all caps FRIENDS font
  • The colorful little dots between each letter in LIFE
  • The cute little red lobster art at the top
  • The customization! Add your own names. Or you know what… do whatever you want. Say whatever you want. Change the text, change the art, change the colors. You can even change the font but I already listed that as one of my favorite things so why would you do that?!

Customize your Lobster for Life Tank Tops here.

This is going to be your day. It’s going to be your week. Your month. Heck, even your year!

Nautical Wedding Inspiration

It doesn’t matter if you are marrying a sailor or simply just love the beach. Nautical themed weddings are trendy no matter if you go with the classic navy blue or mix it up with coral and mint. The nautical theme is versatile and very easy to personalize to give your guests an experience they’ve never had before.  Anchors, stripes, and boat knots are just a starting point but make your experience extra unique by customizing Nautical Themed Bridal Party Shirts.  Bridal Party Tees has a great selection of nautical art including knots, anchors, and boats to help achieve the exact theme you are looking for.

Bridal Party Tees has put together a Nautical Theme Inspiration Board to help infuse your wedding with a unique and classy look inspired by the sea. So what are you waiting for? Drop the anchor, tie the knot, and set sail before the veil!

Batter Up for a Baseball Themed Wedding

Not all brides are in love with big poofy gowns, candlelight ceremonies, or flowers cascading down the aisle. Your wedding day should be a reflection of your love: who you love and what you love. Some brides love baseball.

We came across bride Brandi’s Baseball themed wedding and were totally inspired! This bride didn’t fit the cookie-cutter mold, so she customized her big day to be exactly what she wanted.

TREND: Not Engaged, But Setting a Wedding Date

Not Engaged But Setting A Wedding Date

Who says you have to wait until you have a ring on your finger to set a wedding date? If you are in a relationship with someone and you both have discussed the possibility of getting married someday, why not set a wedding date and work toward being married on that day? If you set the date far enough in the future, you will have plenty of time to start making wedding arrangements and to officially get engaged.

Getting a head start on the wedding details that you both agree on can’t be a bad thing, but it’s probably best to wait until you are officially engaged before you start putting down deposits and telling all your friends and family about the date. Yet, for a couple that wants to start making future plans, setting a wedding date and keeping that date to yourselves is a great way to stay on the same page for future plans! You could even set the date as your five or eight year anniversary of the day you started dating!

What do you think brides, is setting a date before you’re engaged a good idea?

Team Bride Tank Tops as Seen on Pinterest

bridalpartytees 6 Comments

Pinterest has become a popular resource to use when planning your wedding. In fact, we have our own Pinterest account to share wedding ideas with our lovely customers. We love browsing through all of the creative wedding pins. We especially love when we come across our products pinned by other people. Needless to say, we were very excited to find that this particular photo of our Team Bride tank tops has gone viral on Pinterest. Our wonderful customer, Kristen, said this about the tank tops she made for her bachelorette party:

“I came up with the idea of this and then ordered them from the only website that would allow me to create exactly what I wanted for my girls and I. The website is bridalpartytees.com. I especially loved this site because they had shirts in my wedding colors (ivory and turquoise) which is exactly what I wanted.”

Awesome! You can create your own tank tops like these for both the bride and bridesmaids. Change the colors to match your own wedding! You can even change the shirt style and font if you’d like something different!

Wedding Flower Trends

The flowers you choose for your wedding say a lot about you and the style of your wedding! Below you’ll find a list of some of the hottest wedding flower trends to help you choose your look for everything from bouquets to centerpieces to boutonnieres! Check out Bridal Party Tees for all other pre-wedding necessities!

Big Soft Blooms: This year, many brides are going with big, soft blooms, gentle earthy textures and gentle pinks paired with warm ivory.

Sunwashed Colors: Modern brides are opting for earthy shades and blush hues in their wedding flowers and color schemes. Don’t be afraid to mix taupe and oyster gray with a bold, contrasting color or you can pair multiple shades of a blush pink with beige and ivory. Using a single color in multiple shades and textures can create a truly unique look. Bottom line: The modern palette has been simplified.

Flowers with Personality: Every flower has a certain personality. From sophisticated red roses to playful daisies your blooms speak to the identity of your event. Soft and gentle blooms like peonies, lisianthus, and rununculus are a totally timeless and classic choice, while fun, tighter textured blooms like billy balls, button mums, and dahlias can be whimsical and a little bit mischievous at the same time.

Choose Eye-Catching Colors: If sweet and subtle isn’t your thing, go for a head-turning arrangement with bold colors. Bring in color swatches, invites and other inspirational details to help your florist create arrangements that coordinate with the look and feel of your wedding day.

Orchids: Orchids are a flower of movement, especially since this particular flower comes in just about any color and size! Use an all-orchid arrangement to make a lush, architectural statement on your tables, or select a single orchid blossom in your wedding color for modern boutonnieres. Wrap the stem in black ribbon so that the blossom pops against the lapel.

For Fall Weddings Think Texture: The hottest trend in fall wedding flowers is lush, richly hued arrangements with lots of interesting texture. Instead of using just two or three types of blooms in your centerpieces, try a wide mix of flowers coordinated with your color scheme. For example, you could start with a base of classic flowers and mix in feathery crocosmia and velvety coxcomb.

Classic Wedding Flowers in Rich Hues: Tailor your wedding flowers to the time of year by choosing more deep dramatic shades for the fall than you would for the spring and summer.

“Going Green”: Through contrasting and complementary foliages and branching, this wedding flower trend emanates a sense of elegant simplicity. Mixing unique textures and colors of naturally-occurring flower colors, such as white and light green, creates a soothing, tranquil expression for bouquets, centerpieces, and boutonnieres.

Wedding Bouquet Trends

bridalpartytees Leave a comment

After choosing a wedding dress, the bride typically turns her attention to her wedding bouquet! As every professional florist knows, the bridal bouquet is typically seen as the focal point of all the wedding flowers, and today’s brides are taking advantage of that as they plan their weddings. Check out our list of today’s wedding bouquet trends to help you come up with your own bridal bouquet! For all other pre-wedding needs check out Bridal Party Tees! You can customize anything from bridal and bachelorette party tee shirts, to honeymoon designs, to gifts and accessories and more!

Traditional White: Mini white calla lilies paired with delicate sweet peas to create a unique take on the traditional white bouquet. The clustered calla lilies sit in the center, surrounded by a cloud of fragrant, white sweet peas and tied with a simple white satin ribbon.

Vintage: Rose-centered bouquets take a vintage turn with amnesia roses and silver hued dusty miller. An alternative to all-white roses, these amnesia roses have a silvery lavender hue which compliments many different colors. The dusty miller surrounding the roses completes the classic look and feel of a long-forgotten era.

Mix It Up: Wedding bouquets these days don’t just contain flowers. Your party decorator or florist may suggest other non-floral elements such as Swarovski crystals, berries, feathers, stems and other decorative wood pieces. A popular choice is echeveria, which can be shaped like a flower and can come in different colors such as green, aubergine and gray.

Cascade Bouquets: This bouquet style features flowers that descend below the main portion of the bouquet design. The voluptuousness of the bouquet is often the main feature of the wedding costume. Cascade bouquets are most often used in formal and traditional weddings.

Hot Hues: Brides craving color are opting to use many shades of a single hue, such as mixing pale pink peonies and hot pink ranunculuses with other flowers that reflect the pinks for a richer look. For those who like this look but want something more striking than white, today’s stylish all-red bouquets mix shades of burgundy and near-black with slightly brighter crimson blooms.

All Tied Up: Although the most brides (and, in particular, those seeking a single-flower style) likely prefer the look of exposed stems, the majority of today’s bouquets come elegantly wrapped. To help modernize the look of classic ribbon-wrapped stems, florists layer ribbons in different colors or textures. Another popular approach is to personalize the bouquet. Wrap the stems with an heirloom handkerchief (perhaps one the bride’s grandmother carried on her wedding day), adorn the bouquet with a locket bearing a photo of a deceased relative, or wrap the stems in a ribbon embroidered with your monogram or signature motif.

For some, gift registry is the most fun thing about planning a wedding. You get to shop around your favorite stores and pick out things you want without dropping a dime! But if combing through stacks of fine china and sheet sets isn’t your cup of tea, here is a list of more unique wedding registry ideas that might be more fitting for you! Wedding registry is just one step in your planning process! Make sure you check out Bridal Party Tees for bachelorette party tees, before the wedding designs, honeymoon tees and accessories!

Charity Registries: Yes, your wedding day is all about you and your new spouse, but why not share the spotlight with your favorite charity? Set up a charitable gift registry with an organization like the “I Do Foundation” which will help guide guests through the process of donating to your charity of choice.

Game time: Add your favorite board games or video games to your registry! Having a few of the classics like Monopoly and Twister will make your new place feel like home, and provide tons of fun for game nights later on! You might not be able to justify buying yourself a Wii, but your guests will have no problem making the splurge for you!

Activities: Register for a little post-wedding fun by adding things like private guitar lessons, a private wine tour for two, dance lessons, cooking classes or a fun local activity or event.

Bar basics: If you’re a couple that likes to host, indulge in an at-home mini bar as part of your register! Pick out your favorite martini glasses, and essentials like corkscrews, strainers, and juice squeezers.

Honeymoon Registry: Guests can help the newlyweds make their dream honeymoon come true by contributing to a honeymoon registry that can range from an investment in the couple’s dream to backpack around Europe to a week of beachside activities at a luxurious resort!

Home Sweet Home: Why register for a bunch of “stuff” for your dream home when you can actually have your guests contribute money that will go towards the down payment on a new home! It’s one of the most valuable investments family members and friends can make in a new couple’s life.

Plan an Adventure: If you are an energetic, adventuresome couple tandem skydiving is an exciting option to have on your registry! If you want to do something adventurous but have a fear of heights, a guided canoe or kayaking tour could be a good substitute.
