bride blogger dani: planning update

This past Sunday I went to the Central Nebraska Bridal Expo at the Kearney Ramada Inn. There were so many vendors there, two whole ballrooms full!! Even though I have most of my major items done; venue, photographers, DJ, it is nice to see what other things I may have over looked. My main objective by attending the expo was to find a possible cake baker—and I happily walked away with many different options. The best part was being able to taste so many delicious cupcakes in the process!!

While at home I also went to the Bridal Isle and ordered my bridesmaid dresses. When I arrived at the store I still had no idea what color I wanted the girls to be in (if you remember from here I was thinking eggplant or marine) and ended up loving the teal color after seeing the color swatches, hopefully my bridesmaids like it. Now that I have finally set that in stone I’m going to start looking for some jewelry to compliment the dresses.

My mom and I also worked on a couple centerpiece ideas. They still need some adjusting, but I feel like we are on the right path. My mom had also found a picture frame on Pinterest that she thought we could recreate and use on our guestbook table, so we got a discounted frame at Hobby Lobby, spray-painted it with some left over paint we used on my card box, and tied a bow. I think it turned out pretty good if I do say so! The flash from my camera makes it look much brighter than it actually is.

Hope everyone has a good week!

berries + greens

 

We have been crushing on berry hues for months. A deep red and navy are a great option if you love the classic red + black wedding palette. Berry lemonade and garden flowers are small touches that leave a lasting impression on your guests.

country peach

We love the idea of using postcards as your guest book at your reception. Not only can this idea be personal and sentimental, but it creates a gorgeous book or wall hanging post-wedding. The pop of peach in the lush floral arrangements keep this inspiration board casual and romantic. We always fall for a wooden crate that doubles as a centerpiece!

weekend wrap up

We had a blast meeting you this Sunday at The Wedding Inspirations Show! Special Thanks to Stem Gallery for their gorgeous arrangement! Make sure to follow our Pinterest account and keep pinning!

citrus punch

This pop of citrus is just what we need to launch into spring. With a mix of pink, yellow and orange this inspiration board comes to life. Tissue paper is a fun(and inexpensive) way to add contrast and detail to your wedding day.
