Be Inspired By THIS!

Today, I am bringing you some ideas inspired by one of the 2012 wedding trends! Watercolor is all the hype this year, and it can be used in so many, many ways! The beautiful, soft strokes and colors prove to be a favorable theme for weddings and events of all types! Below I combined a travel-esque theme, with watercolor elements, including the tags on the bottles/favors, the watercolor map guestbook, and the softness of the colors :] I hope you all enjoy this little bit of inspiration, brought to you exclusively by White Blossom Weddings! 

Blushin' Plum & Teal

"Blushin' Plum & Teal"

What better way to start planning your wedding than choosing a refreshing color combo like this one! Right?! With a tripled color effect for a wedding it is best to focus on two colors and use the third as an accent! I love the fact that these colors can be used for a very chic, vintage wedding or they could be used for a more modern, bold look. Enjoy this inspiration board created just for you! 

Guestbooks Galore!

Brides, let's be real. If your Guestbook looks like this, then we have a problem! Gone are the days of the tulle & lace covered guestbook from the 80's that you sign only your name in; we have moved on to much greater things in the world! Thank goodness! :]

Wedding guestbooks have become more of a keepsake for couples as opposed to their former role as just dust-collectors in the attic. Also, guestbooks are becoming more of a project. There is more thought going into the ideas behind the guestbook, and what kind of presentation it will have. Nothing makes us happier than to see fresh, new ideas! So I will present you with a few that are fun & creative, but as always I encourage you to think outside the box when it comes to your big day! 

(Descriptions below from Top Left, to Bottom Right)

Some of the ideas that we love included above:

1. Signing a wine bottle

2.Wishing Tree, best wishes for the newlyweds

3. Individuals Mini-Envelopes on the book pages 

for little notes from the guests

4. Signing a vase

5. Sharing "what love means to you"

6. Guests find & sign on their birthday in a calendar- 

GREAT for your first year of marriage!

7. Snap a Picture, paste & sign! 

8. The Thumbprint guestbook

9. Sign a wooden bench

These are all great ideas! 

Be inspired, and have a wonderful day! Love, WB.

Sky Lanterns

Nothing ends an evening like a memorable send-off for the Newlyweds! Releasing Sky Lanterns is something fun and symbolic, that will keep your guests buzzing long after the night is over!

Sky Lanterns originated in the Chinese culture and are still used today in celebrations and festivals. In their culture, it is considered good luck to release a lantern, and they view it as their worries floating away. 

Personalizing your Sky Lantern release is easy, and that's what we love!

1. Sky Lanterns come in colors! Yay! 

You can coordinate with your wedding palette! 

2. Provide guests with Sharpies; They can write a message to the 

bride & groom before the big release!

3. Create a playlist of songs that can play in the 

background while you enjoy watching the lanterns float away.

4. Also,for all of you Eco-friendly-loving couples, 

you can purchase lanterns that are wire-free and 

100% safe for the environment!
