Bad-Ass Weddings

Posts Tagged ‘Relationships’

Lots of brides really stress out about the wedding favors. The cost, the creativity involved in trying to outshine your friend’s wedding favors, the cluelessness that comes with planning a wedding…

However, these adorable cookie wedding favors could solve all your problems. They are literally so cute you can eat them right up. They are also cost effective…cookies are not very expensive.

And as far as creativity, you would get major points for these!

I’ve never seen this done in person, but I am dying to go to a wedding that has these as favors. I’m sure the bride and groom kept aside a few to eat for themselves on the honeymoon!

What a wonderful, wonderful idea. Even if you don’t carry it through with the wedding, having an Alice in Wonderland bridal shower is a crazy awesome idea!

You can set a long table as the tea party from the book or movie and enjoy a wonderful outdoor afternoon of celebrations.

Party favors can be “drink me” vials which have lemon drop shots in them.

Inappropriate?

Of course not.

Fun?

Yes. We think so.

This is beautiful!

Sometimes small weddings literally take the cake. We had cupcakes for our small beach wedding, but they were of the Day of the Dead variety.

These, however, are not only perfect for a beach themed wedding, but are quite lovely. The presentation is flawless and I can bet you that they are delicious.

Do you plan on having cupcakes at your wedding? If so, how do you plan to present them and how many are you having?

I’d love some feedback on this one.

If you are having your wedding reception out of doors, that opens the door for many activities that would be hard to pull off indoors. You can plan games and activities based on the outdoor theme and carry that theme indoors if part of the reception is inside as well.

Depending on where the reception will be held, you can plan many activities based on the setting. Whether it is the park or on a farm, there are a myriad of activities you can plan.

Most weddings have a guest book that their friends and families can sign when they enter the door of either the wedding or the reception.

This is often quite the traditional guest book and some brides and grooms are just not going for it.

Why would you really want  a book with the signatures of the people who came to your wedding? I’m sure some people think it’s important, but I don’t get it.

Instead, you could try something non traditional like this couple. They prepared a canvas with a tree before the wedding and supplied multi-colored ink pads, along with instructions to the guests.

Instead of signing the guest book, each guest provided their thumbprint on the canvas as a leaf. Beautiful, creative, memorable and definitely not traditional!

Weddings are truly special occasions. A time of celebration, joy, laughter and bliss! And nerves..

The newlywed couple is the highlight of the occasion. Apart from the newlyweds, the food and the decor, the speeches form an integral part of a wedding.

Everyone awaits speeches in a wedding. If for nothing else, to laugh when someone goofs.

Whether it’s the best man, maid of honor, the parents of the bride and groom or the bride or the groom themselves– people wait for speeches.

This puts a considerable amount of pressure on the speakers.

It is a hard task to put down so many emotions and memories in the form of an entertaining few-minutes speech. Both writing and delivering a memorable speech can be quite a nerve-wrecking job.

Planning pre-wedding activities is a little something extra that’s not required, but certainly fun and entertaining for the guests. If the bride and groom keep in mind the distance some guests have traveled and keep activities relevant to that level of fatigue, they’re sure to hit on some winning activities.

As you go about planning activities for the wedding, keep in mind other factors as well. Do many people have children with them? Will you provide childcare or will the children be participants in the activities? If you have several guests who are older, perhaps activities can be tailored in a way they can participate as well.

The wedding reception photo booth has been making the rounds for a while now and some brides are beginning to come up with creative ways to make their “photo booth” style photos unique.

This sweet wedding used a backdrop and a decorative chalkboard to make their photos different. Guests could write anything they wanted on the chalk board and could use a variety of props in the photos.

I love the idea of using mustaches as photo props! These kick-ass.

You could even provide different costumes or other items for your guests to use. Just use your imagination and you can’t go wrong in the unique wedding photo department. Let your friends and family do whatever they want and you will get some unusual and interesting photos!

I love, love, love a rustic wedding! The casual dress wear, the outdoor settings, the decorations – it’s all wonderful. Rustic weddings create quite a scene. Decorated with natural materials such as wood, cotton and flowers, the scene is natural, beautiful, light and airy.

One of the loveliest rustic wedding brides I have ever seen was wearing a white sundress and cowboy boots. The look  suited her completely and she looked right at home at her outdoor ceremony. Keep the look casual, but elegant and you’ll be spot on.

Decorate minimally. Let nature be your decor. Have the wedding outside with only a few chairs and flowers. Use woods and vines to create an archway.

Place a table full of photos near the reception area. Use black and white photos in antique frames to keep with the rustic theme. If you are unsure of other decorations, do a quick rustic wedding photo search and you’ll find plenty of creative ideas to keep you busy!
