Pay attention to the small things...

Like a cute, fun manicure! Lately on Pinterest and in magazines, I've seen a lot of fun glitter manicures! You don't have to spend a ton of money at the nail salon, just go to a beauty supply store and get glitter nail polish to paint over clear nail polish on the tips of your nails! What a fun excuse to get the girls together! Make it a mini spa day, complete with facials and cucumber-infused water. Have fun, ladies!

Monogramming

Looking for a gift idea for the bridal party? Go the monogram path. You can monogram just about anything- towels, robes, hair brushes, Tervis tumblers, bracelets and so many other things. Monogramming gifts is personal, and something that a lot of people are into these days. 

Monogrammed brushes from this Etsy shop.

Monogrammed hangers can be dressed up with a pretty bow and will look lovely in photos of you and your bridesmaids getting ready before the "I do's". 

Have fun with it!

Rustic seating chart

Don't mess around with a hundred (or so) place tags for your reception. Save your hands and the money, and use an old window instead. This old pane window is pretty and gives a rustic feel to an outdoor wedding. Go to antique shops and garage sales to find an old window, or go explore in your grandparent's garage. My grandparents have tons of old windows like the one above (Not sure where they got them!), so I plan on taking advantage of my resources and I might even use one to decorate.

Be creative! Use mirrors, chalkboards, and maybe frames with just the glass in them for your chart. Have fun with it, and use paint pens in the colors you chose for your wedding. Enjoy!

Simple centerpieces

I love the rustic look of using pitchers as vases. Rustic and useful.
Mix and match seasonal flowers and have fun with different shapes and sizes of pitchers. Perfect for Spring or early Summer.
