Tradition Twists....

Everybody wants their wedding to be memorable, fun and unique in some way....but some brides just want to be traditional. As for me, I'm a fan of being traditional...but with a TWIST!

Tradition: Floral Bouquets.....Twist: Lanterns!


Tradition: Photo Guestbook..........Twist: Signed stones in a vase! (bedbathandbeyond.com)

Tradition: Flower girls throwing flower petals....Twist: Throw leaves for fall or snowflakes for Winter! (find them on orientaltrading.com)

Tradition: Photo of bride's hand on top of groom's hand showing their rings.... Twist: A Pinky Swear! amberengferphotography.com

And my personal favorite...

Traditionally, the last shot of the night might be the couple driving away in the limo. I LOVE this twist... Getting away on the ELEVATOR! How perfect for a hotel wedding (like mine!)? (brought to you by More Than An Image Photography)

There are so many more...it may take a few posts to share them all. What tradition would you want to twist and how???

Say OK to these Bouquets!

I'm seeing more and more very unique ideas for bouquets! While planning for my winter wedding, I found a bouquet with pinecones and feathers with the flowers and I thought that was so amazing, wild and different. Now I see it is actually rather tame compared to these super fun and gorgeous ideas!!

Flower bouquets with Mini Pinwheels! Perfect for an adorably whimsical wedding! Find them HERE!

Came across this cute button and felt bouquet on intimateweddings.com...similar to the fabric and button bouquet I posted yesterday.

On a serious budget? Want to save money on Flowers?? Do a baby's breath bouquet! This sweet couple in Australia made a baby's breath bouquet with a few small purple flowers and jazzed it up with a ribbon and a pretty pin! It's beautiful and probably only cost them a few bucks!!

Or just forget the flowers!!....

Got Buttons?

Wheat?? Yes...WHEAT! I actually think it's super cute for a very country style or barn wedding. Why not?? And oh-so budget friendly!

How about a cookie bouquet? Mine would be gone before I get down the aisle though...

And last, for now, the paper bouquet. Use pages from a book or what I would prefer....sheet music!

Update

Greetings! This started as a winter wedding ideas blog....but since my winter wedding is in less than 5 months and I have enjoyed the planning and all the ideas I have found so much, I want to expand this blog to include many other types of weddings, plus other beautiful things I love and adore. I have not posted in a long time, then came back to see I have over 1100 page views! Thanks to google and pinterest! I would love to continue this and build a big following, and maybe become a wedding/party planner! GET EXCITED! I am. :)

New posts with actual info and awesomeness to come soon.... for now, enjoy this.

A bouquet made of fabric scraps and buttons. Say Aww. Awwwww!!! So cute. AND it makes a nice keepsake after the day is done.
