Most brides are so consumed with planning their wedding day that the other bridal events get left in the dust. Think about having a themed engagement party or bridal shower. Themed parties are just so much fun for all guests. Your family and friends will surely love it.

When planning a luau party, make sure you have mini umbrellas for your cocktails, lays for every guest to wear, and party fans for a giveaway. Make sure to create luau themed desserts for all your guests, like shell shaped cookies and cupcakes with bright flowers. From details to centerpieces and decor, this shower theme can easily be achieved!

How would you plan a luau?

Mad About Pinwheels

I love creative DIY projects for weddings! I believe any way to save a dollar when planning a wedding is a good thing. That is why I am in love with the fact that pinwheels are now in style for party décor. Pinwheels are easy to make and are fun to play with. If you make 100 pinwheels … you have yourself an art installation!

Think about placing pinwheels in your floral bouquets or giving them away as a wedding favor. You can also decorate the reception and ceremony areas with them. Even use them as the groom’s boutonnieres! No matter what you decide to do with them, your guests will love them!

The White Party

Many brides and grooms have trouble picking out wedding colors. This is only one of the most important decisions when planning a wedding. Wedding colors express the bride’s and groom’s personality. Will the wedding be traditional? Or ,will the colors fit into a more modern wedding color scheme?

If you are having trouble finalizing a wedding color palette, my suggestion is to turn your wedding into a white party. A monochromatic white wedding is very chic. White weddings tend to be more upscale and luxurious in atmosphere.  However, there are ways to make a wedding in white seem more laid back, if this is what you are looking for. That’s the wonderful thing about the color white; it goes with everything!

If you are going for a luxurious look, try white roses as the wedding flower along with white feathers. If you would like a simple, relaxed wedding, think about having white daisies and white wild flowers.

Etsy Eye Candy 2011 Recap!

I love supporting handmade businesses.  With the help of Etsy, more and more couples are including custom, handmade elements in their wedding. Throughout 2011 I’ve been sharing fabulous Etsy finds here on WedLoft; each month highlighting items in that particular month’s birthstone color in an Etsy Eye Candy post. Before we make the leap into 2012, I thought I’d give you a recap of all the Etsy goodness we’ve shared this year… just in case you’ve missed any. Click on the images to jump to the full post!
