I can't help but feel a slight ping of jealousy when I come across
couples that find these adorable, unconventional locations to host their
weddings. Although I'm still looking I just don't seem to come across
the same caliper of unique venues and it kind of hurts.
Taking place in the beautiful Philadelphia, this romantic yet relaxed wedding featured simple peony table arrangements on rustic wooden tables, modern stringed lighting for added ambiance, and lush floral thanks to the venues. Add in a dash of gardening pots for unique photo backdrops and you have a spectacular wedding to remember.

Despite the vivid and punchy color story, coral pairings truly creates a chic and elegant duo that works wonderful with many wedding themes. Whether its an elegant fete at a posh hotel in NYC to a family filled backyard barbecue, this color story is perfect. It also happens to be one of my favorite...
Check out the shopping guide below for a few perfect touches from dresses to plates to earrings that will allow you to bring this fun inspiration to life.
The quaint touches on this backyard wedding were too charming not to share. With a grand total of only $7000 for this affair, how could one not be inspired. For me though it was the charming decor of the tent that sticks. From the mantle to the draped linens, a truly romantic setting has been created with out spending a ton of money....absolute success.
Enjoy!!!
Although the food is extremely important, how your table is presented can set the tone for the rest of the night. This doesn't mean thousands of dollars need to be spent on outrageous flowers and towering glass vases that light up on the bottom. What is really appreciated are the fine details that could spark conversation as the guests possibly (hopefully not though...) wait for their food. This adorable DIY allows you to create that exact touch.
BUY THIS:
- Vintage brooches (broken ones can work as well)
- E6000
- Simple napkin rings (they don't all have to match)
- Pliers/nips
- Sandpaper (fine and coarse)
DO THIS:
- Remove pin part from each brooch
- Sand down any rough edges with the fine sandpaper to allow for a more level fit on the napkin ring followed by the coarser option to create a bit of texture for the glue to adhere to.
- Add a bit of glue to the brooch and napkin ring
- Allow to dry overnight.
The tutorial also suggest using a bit of blue painters tape to help keep the brooch steady on the napkin ring as it dries overnight.
This would make a wonderful project for you and your bridesmaids and is so simple a few glasses of wine won't hinder the process....
