Wedding Cake Simple Elegance

I just love simple elegance! Consider adding real flowers to a more modest cake to really dress it up for a simple and elegant look. 

Found this idea on Pinterest and it got me to thinking. Long gone are the days where you leave disposal cameras out on the tables for your guests to take photos of the event. It is a digital world and more and more people are joining Instagram and Twitter everyday.

Not only is it a digital world, it is a mobile world,  most people take pictures with their phones nowadays.

Consider replacing those disposable cameras and creating a hashtag to share with your guests to encourage them to tag any photos that they take of your special day. After the event you can search the hashtag on both channels and check out all the pictures.

This is a quick and easy way for guests to share their pictures with you. Plus it shows them how digitaly savvy you are ;)

Sparklers are a fun way for wedding guests to send the newlyweds off at the end of the night. They also make for a beautiful photo opportunity. 

Just ensure that they are quick and easy for the guests to light as they don't burn for long. 

A favorite childhood dessert, consider sending your guests off at the end of the night with milk and cookies.  

Popsicles in Prosecco

Your guests will enjoy this adult dessert on a warm summer day. Try this with natural fruit pops, as they melt the drinks almost become like Bellinis. 

Elegant Centerpiece

I found this visual of gorgeous centerpieces created by placing lace around the outside of votive candles of various sizes. The mirror reflects the light and the rock accents round this out to be a very elegant and lovely centerpiece. 

Envelope Liners

Consider envelope liners as an easy way to add a little elegance and fun to your invitations. It is really easy!

First determine what you would like your inner liner to be. Add a splash of color with paper in the shade of one of your wedding colors. Paper doilies add a touch of elegance.  You could also get creative and do something a little more fun like a map. No matter what your envelope liner is the steps are the same.

Step 1: Lay the liner over the envelope (if a doily then poke out all the holes and lay it over the envelope with the center of the doily positioned just under the adhesive of the tip of the envelope with the wrong side up).

Step 2: Using a ruler and a pencil, mark up where you plan to cut. Cut along the path.

Step 3: Slide the cutout into the envelope to make sure it fits and fold it down along the crease of the envelope.

Step 4: Glue the liner inside the envelope. Apply glue to the lower half first and slide inside the envelope and make sure it is secure. Then glue and secure the top part.



That's all there is to it. Now sit back relax and wait for your guests to be impressed :)
