Detail: Draping the Venue

I went to my cousin's wedding recently and fell in love with draping the ceiling! This fabulous detail really adds something extra to your venues. It's that detail that is going to make your guests stop and say, "wow".



You could go more simple like these:

Royal Wedding Trends: Flowers

Photo Courtesy of ABC News

There has been a lot of talk about the Royal Wedding, so we here at MasterPiece Weddings, thought we should give you our 10 cents.

Why not, everyone else is.

So, first up, flowers. Kate's flowers have been a huge conversation within the wedding community. Too small? Too simple? Oddly shaped? Not enough?

But, our opinion, is that they are perfect. Charming. Simple. Classy and beautiful just like Kate.

There is so much fan fare and pomp and circumstance surrounding this incredible wedding, that she didn't need a bouquet that carried her.

Our 10 cents.

PS - Did you know that her flowers were hand picked from the garden that Queen Victoria planted after her wedding. So sweet.

If I did it again...

What is your favorite flower for your wedding bouquet?

When it comes to what you carry down the aisle, who says you have to conform to the standard of pretty blooms in a pretty bouquet? Why not mix it up a bit? And with the unlimited realm of creativity reaching weddings today, your options are anything but limited...

Paper Flowers

Wood Flowers

Button Bouquet

Leather Bouquet

Clay Flowers

Crystal Bouquet

Felt Bouquet

Beaded Bouquet

Seashell Bouquet

Or if you want to carry something other than a bouquet... consider these options: fur muff, parasol, candle, rosary, bible, fan, lantern, clutch.

So what about you, what are you carrying down the aisle?

Good Graffiti

Why does the word "graffiti" have to have a negative connotation to it? Sure, we love the personalization of gobo lights. But, this takes things a step further. We were smitten when we were sent the link to Wonderful Graffiti.

So what is it, you ask? Wonderful Graffiti makes their graffiti of "very thin pieces of matte vinyl that look 'printed' when applied to most smooth surfaces." The design arrives to you on one sheet of transfer paper and all you have to do is tape it up where you want the design to go, burnish it down, and peel the transfer paper away.

According to Wonderful Graffiti only the letters and graphic elements will be left. And the best part? Wonderful Graffiti is designed to be removed quickly without harming underlying surfaces. So, you could even put it up in your reception hall or ceremony location. Doors, walls, tables, floors... you name it!

According to the Wonderful Graffiti website, "it's so easy, even a nervous groom can do it." Love it!
