Wedding Trends: REVAMP

Below is my list of the hottest wedding trends now. Perhaps you have seen these at a wedding this year.
Want to take it one step above the "trend"... see my suggestions for revamps!


TREND 1: BEACH THEMED WEDDINGS

Especially being in New England, beach themed weddings are the go-to element! Beachy themed cakes, starfish and sand dollars place cards, etc.

REVAMP: Take it up a notch, use the same color scheme (blues and greens) in a new way. Peacock!

TREND 2: CHUCKS

You have seen tons of photos with brides wearing the chucks down the altar and hanging out in them during the reception.

REVAMP: Sure, you've seen chucks-- but be the first bride to wear TOMS. Super cute and sparkly too!

TREND 3: Submerged Flowers with Candles. These are a popular and low-cost alternative to floral centerpieces....and have a real eye catching look. But why not try something new...

REVAMP: Keep up the charm with a different type of centerpiece- Succulents. These are starting to pop up and they are great as favors, place card holders, or centerpieces. Plus, they are pretty unexpected.

4th of July!

I hope everyone had a great 4th!! I am still reeling from the hot dogs and perhaps too much potato salad.

Here are some of the recaps from my 4th:

I made some hamburger cupcakes! It was my first attempt, and they didn't come out looking sooo amazing but people got the "idea" of em' and I think I will make them every 4th of July (hello, new tradition).
Here was my inspiration:

We celebrated over the weekend with family and friends.  We drank and ate a lot!!

And, we had some great views:

And lit some Sparklers, or as we Rhode Islanders would say- Sparklahs
