Pinspiration: Black, White, and Yellow

Pinterest. Are you as obsessed as we are?! We could get lost pinning and repinning photos onto our inspiration boards all day! For those who haven’t discovered this wonderful time-waster/inspiring website, Pinterest allows users to “pin” photos around the internet onto a virtual inspiration board. Photos can come from any website except for Facebook/email. If you can’t pin a photo using the company’s app, Pinterest will give you the option of uploading photos, too. It’s a great way for people to socialize and gather inspiration from other users. People use Pinterest to find new ideas for home decor, arts and crafts, recipes, and fashion trends. Here’s a board we created using Pinterest “pins”/photos for a black, white, and yellow wedding theme.

Inspiration Board: B&W Swarovski Crystal Wedding

In the midst of all the craziness with rebranding our site, we wanted to take some time to inspire you with decadence. As we’ve mentioned before, “vintage chic” or “rustic chic” has become a little over-saturated and cliched as far as wedding themes go. So let’s go back to our childhood roots, where we dreamed about platinum weddings full of diamonds, romance, and everything that money could buy! Well, those were our childhood dreams haha

What’s a dream wedding without being a little over the top? Black and white is classic, chic, modern, and romantic. It compliments all tastes and really balances both feminine and masculine aspects of a couple. The bling aspect? Not gaudy when you choose to go with Swarovski crystals as embellishments to your gown, heels, and decor. We love the inspiration board we came up incorporating black and white, and crystals to create a “wow!” factor. Last year, we created another black and white inspiration board showing you the different ways we can create black and white without looking like a bunch of jailbirds. This black and white board’s theme is “showstopping decadence for a Hollywood starlet.” Fancy, right?

How Sweet: Candy and Dessert Tables

One of Wedding Elegance’s favorite features to create at receptions is the candy/dessert table! Couples love seeing the fun, whimsical, and delicious dessert table at their wedding, while guests fill up their goodie bags with assorted candies and baked goods. It’s a fabulous addition to receptions and something guests always flock to at the end of the night (especially if you have kids attending). We love designing and putting together cake/dessert tables, and highly encourage having one at weddings or at any social gathering.

Here are some great examples of how cute and glamorous dessert and candy table/bars can be!

This one is from a wedding we coordinated, Brittany and Jarrod’s beach wedding.

Love the vibrant red candies that tie in with Beth and Noah’s red and black, travel inspired wedding that we also planned.

Glam New Year’s Eve Party Ideas

Happy early New Year’s! If you’re like us, you’re already thinking about how to make your party stand out and sparkle. We love the idea of a glam New Year’s Eve party you can throw for all your close friends and family in the comforts of your own home. Bring Times Square to your living room and dining table

The memory jar or time capsule is a cute idea for both adults and children to take part in! You can include notes through out the year, events, ticket stubs, or even your New Year’s resolutions (to see if you accomplished them or not!) It’s a great alternative to scrapbooking as well. Chandeliers will forever be glamorous in my book–whether antique or dripping in crystals, they just up the glam factor at any event or location in your house. Happy planning and happy new year! Stay fabulous

Holiday Centerpiece Ideas

Once you’re done decorating the tree and house, don’t forget to dress your table as well! Whether it’s a wedding reception or a holiday dinner, centerpieces really do complete a meal and set the mood for your guests. Plus, it’s something great to look at while you’re wining and dining. Wedding Elegance skimmed through the great world of the Internet, and found some really inspiring and gorgeous holiday centerpieces you can create or borrow ideas from. Choosing natural elements like pine cones and garlands offer a great rustic chic feel to your tablescape; while ornaments and candy create a sophisticated take on holiday cheer. Happy holiday decorating!
