Summer Wedding Ideas in Turquoise and Silver

Posted in Color Palette, Wedding Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

When I saw this great art print by IkeStudio on Etsy, I knew it would be such a cute print to have framed and put on a wedding table, maybe near the desserts, or even near the cocktail station! It said, “Today is a perfect day to be happy”. What better quote for a wedding day is there than that?

I loved it so much I decided to use it as the main inspiration for this week’s inspiration and idea board. I’m channeling a beach or destination wedding, with bright blues and a hint of sparkle.

Luxurious Dark Purple + Gold Wedding {Inspiration}

Posted in Color Palette, Wedding Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

I’m mixing things up a little today and will be introducing a color palette section in today’s inspiration board. Having set colors goes a long way in insuring cohesion and clarity in wedding or party planning, and makes the design process a lot smoother. It only made sense to add one to color inspired inspiration and idea boards.

To kick off this new plan, I really wanted to share a palette that I am fond of: dark purple and gold. It is such a regal combination, and easily brings luxurious, rich qualities to any event it is incorporated into.

Green with Foliage – Summer Wedding Inspiration

Posted in Wedding Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

Why do couples get married in the summer?

Well, there are a few reasons: kids are out of school, so families can travel easier, there aren’t as many holidays, so time off isn’t as difficult to get, but from what I can tell, most people get married in the summer because it’s warm out. The weather is nice, there’s no worry of a snowstorm delaying flights and causing road closures. Short of some rain, the summer is logistically a great time to get married.

But the heat! The heat can sometimes be TOO hot. You don’t want to have your guests (or yourself!) covered in sweat before the ceremony even starts. So what to do? You could bring the lush foliage that grows in the summer, inside!

That was the inspiration for this week’s Green with Foliage idea board. Bringing lush, green plants indoors, creating a whole new world inside your standard ballroom, completely transforming it into an exotic garden.

Some key elements to what would really make this theme work:

Lots and lots of foliage. Mix and match to create texture and dimension.
Have background music playing while guests wait. Why not find a nature recording of a forest with a babbling brook?
Specialty green lighting will help amplify the effect. Use green up lighting on walls that can’t be covered otherwise.

Take a look at what I had in mind:

May the Fourth {Black and White} Star Wars Wedding – Inspiration and Ideas

Posted in Alternative Themed Wedding Ideas, Wedding Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

Happy *ALMOST* May the Fourth!

For those of you who have NO CLUE what I’m talking about, May fourth, also known as May the Fourth, is International Star Wars Day. And if you hadn’t guessed already it’s a play on the quote “May the force be with you”.

I’m a bit of a fan girl myself, so I couldn’t let an opportunity like this pass by. I love alternative and geek weddings, so I knew I had to make one HECK of an inspiration board for this holiday.

I decided to do a play on the colors of Star Wars, the notably black, white and yellow, and turn it into a wedding for the modern fan couple. While there are lots of Star Wars details and elements involved, there are still lots of traditional elements of a wedding, like a cake, floral, etc. that have had a bit of a geeky-god-mother-twist on them.

For example, take a look at the gorgeous wedding ceremony spot I found. It completely looks like Padme Amidala could walk by any moment to head over to the lake. I love the black floral details in it, don’t you?

Let’s take a look at the inspiration in more detail:

The Beauty of Baby’s Breath at a Wedding

Posted in Wedding Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

If the words “simple but elegant” describe your wedding aesthetic, then look no further then baby’s breath. This beautiful floral is just that. It can be incorporated into almost any facet of your wedding, is easy to work with, has a great price point, and more importantly: looks fantastic.

This week I decided to challenge myself to pick one flower type, and base an entire wedding around it. I wanted to choose something that I believe to be underused and underestimated. Baby’s breath fit the challenge!

Here is what I came up with for this challenge:

22 Wedding Bouquet Memory Charms Ideas + Inspiration

Posted in Wedding Inspiration, Wedding Tips by uniquepasticheevents

Wedding Bouquet In Memory Of Charms

“The BIG day.”

“The biggest day of your life.”

“The most important day of your life.”

These are often the phrases we hear when talking about weddings. It is such a special day for the couple, their family, and their friends. Though too often there are loved ones who are not able to be there, whether they are unable to attend, or have passed on. Parents, grandparents, family, even Spot the family dog.

One way brides remember their loved ones is by adorning their bouquets with memory charms. There are so many options and styles of memory charms and even more ways to incorporate them that I thought I would put together this roundup post to help inspire brides everywhere.
