Let it Shine

I'm totally loving the rustic and warm ambience of this Chicago store named Salvage One. No major wedding decorations needed; just dress up the tables with lovely seasonal flowers, hang some pompoms or paper lanterns from the ceiling, and let the beauty of the room shine through.

Globetrotter

Sipped coffee along the streets of Paris? Scaled the slopes of Mount Fuji? Awed by the city lights of New York? Rode a camel to the pyramids? If travelling the world is a staple in your yearly calendar, and you love taking in the varied sights and sounds each city has to offer, a travel themed wedding is the perfect way to share your passion for exploring the world with your guests.


Mini luggages filled with beautiful blooms, a vintage map as a backdrop for the escort cards, invites printed in the style of passports and boarding passes, and luggage tag favors add wonderful character to your wedding.

A Garden Party

Rustic wooden boxes make lovely vases, and even better centerpieces when filled with beautiful peonies, garden roses and hydrangeas. Vintage teacups also filled wth pretty flowers make wonderful favors. This is one garden party I wouldn't want to miss.

A day out on the beach

The cool breeze, palm trees swaying in the wind, the sound of waves gently lapping onto the beach....I love everything about chilling out by the sea. The beach makes for a wonderful location for an intimate and rustic wedding. Use soft drapings to decorate the ceremony, benches for guests to rest and flowers in soft pastel colours to complement the colour of the sand and sea. You do not need to spend a fortune on decoration, just let the beautiful surrounding shine.
