I came across these cute invitation cards from Free Printables Online... You may be thinking "how could i possibly use those in my wedding"? Well, we were inspired by them to be used as invites for Engagement Parties! A special touch would be to print them on thick cardstock or thick gloss paper (8.5 x 11 paper size) and print on the backside with your Engagement Picture, enclose the invite in a nice quality envelope, be sure to stick on a cute Return Address Label, and Voila - you have yourself one creative and affordible Engagement/Photo Invitation!
As I contemplated what theme to create for an inspiration board, I was reminded of my love for all things pretty & vintage! A twist on the shade of "something blue" these blues are sure to create a clean and pretty pallet in shades of mint blue, creams, ivory, and brown (or black hues like the typewriter keys). *FIND#1* Typewriter Key Wall Art {$349 from Pottery Barn} is a great piece of inspiration for your Table Numbers & Escort Cards. My Idea is to create your own DIY Board with letters in Typewriter fonts or numbers, you can lead your guests to find their seats on the board under the alphabet letter of their last name directing them to their table number - its super cute and easy to DIY! *FIND#2* Hawaiian Based Photographer James Rubio captured such a beautiful shot of Hot Heels sitting on top of a vintage typewriter - when creating this theme you have got to incorporate a unique or vintage typewriter {I recommend searching on ebay, local garage sales, or flea markets to find yourself one for your wedding. Having guests sign in on the typewriter for the Guest Book will be a hugely creative hit}! *FIND#3* Keys & Memories Etsy Shop created this adorable bouquet body, adorned with typewriter keys {you can purchase them by clicking their link above} its a cute idea to do the initials of you and your soon to be hubby, or to have your bridesmaids initials on their individual bouquets. *FIND#4* A great gift to give your Groom on your wedding to complete your Typewriter Theme are these sweet CuffLinks {from E&H @ $100, also visit Etsy Shops for some handmade at a better price}. *FIND#5* These Mint Green book boxes create a unique decor element {from Wisteria @ $44, or do your own DIY version with stacked vintage books}. Enjoy the Typewriter Madness~
Carolynn from Two Brunettes designed these beautiful table numbers. Print them on full label sheets then wrap them around vintage bottles or print them on thick cardstock to stand on their own. Table numbers go from 1 to 20 with four different colors to choose from.
I just adore this Deep Colored Inspiration Board... It brings such a warm and romantic feel to any wedding design! Incorporating deep bold colors with chic lighting adds quite an affect; especially when it comes to making an impact on Wedding Photos. Incorporating a subtle pattern in the same color scheme helps make the wedding flow from invitations, to programs, in the wedding party's attire (for grooms and groomsmen in ties and such), to the day of ceremony and reception decor. All I can say is "Wow, I am INSPIRED"!!!

I just love these vibrant shades of Blue it reminds me of an aquarium and bold waves! By using objects in white in your wedding (such as a white decorative wood buffet and bar), White Linens and Dancefloor... You can sure get this amazing effect of vibrant blues by using special lighting to project shades of blues and bold patterns that will then transform your all white event into an Aqua glam wedding! I recommend having your bridesmaids dresses and groomsmen ties in the same shade of blue that you want to emphasize in your reception lighting, this will really allow the Bride to stand out in her all white gown and look radient in the blue lighting! Check out some of these inspiring aqua objects below that would allow you to create the same type of look:
