Inspiration & Information for Modern Brides & Grooms
Really love these pomander escort cards from Angel & Angela’s Wedding featured on Elizabeth Anne Designs. The whole wedding was chic, modern, and featured bold colors with natural elements. The Bride herself created the stationary, along with these clever guest seating cards.

Simple, beautiful, and inexpensive. This DIY reception decor was apart of Catherine and Hans’ wedding over on iDIY. It just goes to show, you can have a classic and stunning wedding on a small budget; this wedding was done with just 3 months and $8,000 to spare. All the DIY details and the vintage theme really make this Seattle wedding memorable.

Very much inspired by a county setting, as well as fresh citrus, this theme covers all things green. Not only in the color sense, but also in the Eco-Friendly sense. Fruit is a great detail to incorporate into your decor, it’s inexpensive and a nice touch to a variety of wedding themes. Buying locally, or even growing your own also helps your Green Chic wedding status. Consider green apples, limes and kiwi.

Lemonade goes hand in hand with summer. Bright yellow sun dresses, fun, retro details, and clean designs are perfect for a summer wedding. Nothing says fresh and happy like lemons. This makes your reception food and drink options a breeze. If you’re looking for a more modern theme, as opposed to the “country life” lemonade stand, try lemon martinis. The lemon ice cream in a hollowed lemon fruit bowl is a fantastic touch. Your candy bar can be filled with lemon drops, yellow rock candy, brightly colored macaroons, and of course, lemon cake! All these details make for a refreshing theme to cool down your wedding on a hot, summer day.
Stay tuned for pictures of a real wedding that uses these details to accomplish a stunning summer ceremony!
