After having the honor and opportunity to attend more than
12 weddings in 12 months, I've been able to experience firsthand some of the
best executed wedding day ideas-- all which I'm assuming came from the ever inspirational Pinterest.
Pinterest is great place to go for personalized and unique
wedding ideas- but how many of these adorable ideas are actually affordable or
realistically feasible? I can’t speak for them all but I can personally say
that the concepts below left me telling everyone about them at the end of the
day, making the experience memorable for guests as much as the bride and groom!
In no particular order and ranking here are the top 5 that stood out:
Hanging Photo Frames
DIY- simple- inexpensive-super cute- interactive: All the
ingredients for a successful wedding idea. My date and best friend (along with
the rest of the guest list) enjoyed taking photos while waiting for the bride
and groom to enter. There were three different sized frames hanging from a tree
just off to the side of the refreshment tables. This concept made waiting in line much more entertaining!
S'mores Station
This station had guests
gathered around for their own DIY s’mores. The wedding I attended has smaller
burners as shown, to keep the smell and smoke away. Don’t forget to place some
wet naps out so after after the 12th s’more, your guest can clean up
before continuing to the dance floor. What ..no one else at the party had 12 of
of these things?
Photo Booth Guest Book & Favors
This worked as an awesome 2-in-1 for guests. Two strips provided-
one for the guest book, where guests can stick their photos and write a small
message, and the other works as a party favor with the bride and grooms names
at the bottom!
Another Guest Book Win
The next wedding used a shadowbox type frame for guests to sign their names on little hearts provided and drop in for a later to be hung wall decor and guest book!
Custom Wine & Beer
Sure
signature cocktails are a fun spin on the bar menu but all that fun can come
with a high price tag. The first wedding I attended had personalized microbrews, that were more affordable and much more fun than your usual name brands. With
the bottles the description of this signature brew was described on the back.
For example, the bride- who I let me do her wedding day make up (no pressure
right?)- is a beautiful petite blonde who grew up in the south. Her beer consisted
of a light blonde brew with a hint of honey suckle, as described on the back.
The groom is tall, dark and handsome- so understandably if you ordered him, you
ordered a dark and strong stout! 
Party Favors
Until these guys go out of style I will continue to rock my
favorite wedding favor yet! The bride and groom offered guests a variety of
colors while the bridesmaids cornered the market on the pink pairs.
