A Perfect Present for Your Hubby
Buying a present for your man can be tough, no less a wedding gift. I struggled with what to buy The Big A but(perhaps luckily) we decided not to buy each other a gift. But if I had my time over, and had discovered this little beauty I would have popped over to Paloma's Nest and gotten a pair of customised cuff links. Check out their Gentlemen Collection for this and other cute ideas.
Sophisticated Floral Table Arrangement
Eeeep. You know sometimes you can think little vases of flowers on table arrangements can be cute....but can they be sophisticated? Well the answer thanks to Sofia Crokos via Camille Styles is a resounding yes! Just check out this soiree Sofia did recently - for me, its the elements surrounding the florals that bring everything up a notch. From the silver plates to the white linens to the frosted vases. I. Love. It. All.
Wedding Banners
Wedding Banners seem to be on the up and up at at the moment. Here are a few of my favs as seen on the might martha and a couple of examples from etsy seller Joyful Joyful.
Want to Make This?
You are nev-er going to believe what I'm about to tell you. This beautiful chandelier is a killer, you can make it yourself, with simple items from a $2 store and its going to cost you about ten bucks. Yes ten bucks! Go to here for the full tutorial!
Clever Place Card Idea
A clever little idea from Doug and Michaels lovely Hamptons Wedding "We had a table of little trinkets we found at garage sales, and we tied each person’s name to their trinket. Their seat number was on the other side.”
Clever Party Ideas
Sometimes you read ideas from other people and it just clicks. You get excited and think yes! That is exactly what I thought when I heard these fabulous ideas over on Polka Dot Bride from Morgan and Ryan's wedding.
Idea #1:
It was really important to us to acknowledge the important people in our lives and share what makes them so special to us. We gave each guest a booklet with information about the places that the tables were named after, and a small blurb about each person at each table. They were a huge success – my Maid of Honour’s mother told me how she’d spotted that the woman sitting next to her was a chef, and so asked her for a new and exciting recipe she could make for her dinner party the next night!
Idea #2:
We had three children at our reception: My brothers and sisters. They absolutely mean the world to me, and I realised early on that they would find the duration of the reception a bit overwhelming. After a bit of brainstorming I came up with the idea of personalised activity sheets for each of them, with a photo treasure hunt (and disposable camera) the same on each. I tailored them to each of their ages; my 8 year old sister had join the dots and my 14 year old brother had logic puzzles (among other things). They were so much fun to make, and the kids loved them.”
Idea #3:
Ryan says “We thought it was a novel idea to incorporate a photobooth into Australian Hour. Morgan’s Stepdad Barry made us a large white photoframe for guests to stand behind, and our very close friend Ricky (a professional photographer) took photos of guests. The resulting photos are both hilarious and gorgeous. We’ve mailed them out as our thank you cards, and also have made a magazine style photo guestbook for our coffee table.”

Please Sit Where You Like
The big A and I often talk about what we would like our wedding to be like. One of the things we are big on is people sitting wherever they want. We're hoping to have big long tables and then people can plop themselves down. I'm not too worried about people not mingling as we'll be doing a Friday night and Saturday activity so by then everyone should be nice and familiar!
