A Summer Wedding Treat

It's hot out there, and with Summer now fully underway, we thought we'd explore one of the tastiest ways to keep cool at a party - ice cream!  Who doesn't love an ice cream cone, sundae, or refreshing popsicle?  These sweet treats are a great way to take care of your wedding guests in the hot Summer months and a fun way to instill some home style comfort or vintage looking glam into your decor.  Whether it's an ice cream cart, truck, or sundae bar, or tray passed popsicles, popsicle infused cocktails, or take away frozen treats, these are sure to keep your guests smiling :)  

Just look at this darling set-up!  What a great way to add decor to your wedding and give your guests a very fun treat!  Inspiration found via Pinterest; pinner Rebecca Semmence

Succulent Succulents

Succulents are an ever popular landscaping and decorating item both for their low maintenance growing habits and their outstanding appearance, and they've slowly but surely entered into popularity in the wedding world - it's so obvious why!  They offer color and texture that everyday flowers don't, and they're readily available at your local nursery for some serious DIY decorating options.  Check out these pics for some succulent wedding inspiration.  

Who needs traditional when you can create a beautiful backdrop…a live one at that?!  Use succulents to make it all picture perfect, and after all is said and done, donate it to the venue!  Photo by The Nichols via Green Wedding Shoes

We especially love this personal, keepsake decor idea.  Bride & Groom can take these home and hang them outside for a garden decoration that will last for years after the big day! Photo by  Traci Griffin Photography via Bridal Musings

We love the look of these succulent boutonnieres and bouquets!  Photo by Jennifer Williams Photography via Love & Lavender

Beautiful Tablescape!  Rustic wooden troughs filled with wild-flowers, succulents, and moss make for a perfect centerpiece!  Add a runner over an old farm table and Voila!  Inspiration via Weddingomania

Quick Pick!

White folding chairs are some of the most inexpensive seating options out there, and like most people, we love a bargain, but at the same time, we love vibrant, individual style.  That's why this pic really spoke to us.  Tie some colorful ribbons around the backs of your plain white chairs for an instant POP of color and life.
