Hammered spoons are a beautiful addition to your wedding tabletop. Perfect for an elegant, rustic wedding, use them as favors, escort cards, or table numbers – the options are endless. I’m so happy to have McKenzie Brickl of La La Soiree and Kate Sommers of KNG Sommers Photography stop by EAD today to share a step-by-step tutorial for creating your own hammered spoon place cards, and you can see them in action on a lovely olive green and gold tabletop they created!
This morning’s Pancakes & Honey Breakfast shoot featured several handmade wedding projects, and the team of Suzy from Lily Red Studio, Kelly Marie from Fleur, and Jaclyn Simpson Photography have been kind enough to share their DIY secrets with us! They created several projects – click on the links below to jump to the instructions for your favorite:
Michelle from Green Lily Events shared Tara and Michael’s wedding details with us. Tara and Michael strived to be as eco-friendly as possible while planning their event, which is one of Green Lily’s top priorities!
One area where we decided we could save money was in all of the print materials. I had a pretty specific idea of how I wanted the final invitations to look and knew we could create a simple look on our own.
Loyal reader Stephanie emailed to ask if we had any ideas for gardening-related favors. This was fun to research because I love the idea!
Our next bride in need is Jessica who is planning a very intimate wedding in a small Swiss village. Her colors are teal, gold and white. The wedding will be held at Le Vieux Manoir and the reception at Maison Vallier.
First up in part 2 of fun escort card ideas – escort cards doubling as favors!
Nothing touches our heart at weddings more than seeing all the love that pours out of them. The love between the newlyweds, merging families and all of the guests who have gathered to witness the union just makes us melt.  It’s a feeling we cherish so much we wish we could bottle it up and keep with us at all times. That’s one of the reasons why we love thoughtful wedding favors: they serve as wonderful keepsakes of a love-filled day that we can remember for years to come.  That’s also why we have a major crush on Weddingstar. They have favors in all shapes, sizes, forms and flavors that can be customized so that they are the perfect takeaway from an amazing celebration.  We also heart them because they are hosting a big giveaway for our readers!  Today we’re sharing some of our very favorite favors Weddingstar has to offer, so sit back and be inspired for your big day!
We’re so excited to share a wonderful and relaxing DIY project with you today from the fabulous Rebekah J Murray:Â a recipe for Herbs de Provence seasoned salts! They’re useful, easy to make, and would make great favors for a wedding or shower.
Escort cards are one of the first things your guests will see as they enter the reception, so why not create something unique and memorable for when your friends and family arrive? We absolutely love these escort cards with their natural botanical touches like cotton, seeded eucalyptus, lavender, and silver brunia, and are thrilled to welcome Suzy Rohan of Lily Red Studio to share the how-to!
There may be nothing we love more than classic hand lettering. Whether it’s that little moment of joy when we see a thick, luxurious hand-addressed envelope in our mailbox, or that lovely keepsake escort card from our best friend’s wedding, we simply swoon over calligraphy details both large and small! At the top of our list? Elegant white ink. Beautiful on paper from soft dove to bold black and every color in between, white calligraphy is our current crush!
Although it’s getting cooler and crisper out, it’s definitely still warm enough to sit around a fire bundled under some blankets, especially if it’s to make s’mores! What is it about the trio of graham, mallow and chocolate that is so incredible? Whatever it is, it’s a universally accepted fact that s’mores make everyone smile, which makes them a perfect treat for your wedding guests! Whether as a favor or a snack to enjoy during the reception, here’s a roundup of some great DIY s’mores ideas:
Jacquelyn and Ryan’s wedding wasn’t just timeless and elegant. It was filled with personalized details that gave a nod to the couple’s relationship, and Clary Photo was there to capture every precious detail. The bride asked The Rebel Florist to fill bouquets and centerpieces with plush peonies because the park in which Ryan proposed was filled with the blooms. They wed inside the Missouri History Museum, beneath a classic white chuppah. For favors, the couple gave a donation to PAWS in honor of their adopted German Shepherd, Moose—each guest found a picture of the pup and a note from the couple at their place setting!
As you know, I love anything that adds some personalization and handmade charm to your wedding. And WeddingFavors.org is positively full of affordable wedding favors that do just that. No matter what type of wedding you are envisioning, WeddingFavors.org has the perfect favors to complement your theme.
Everyone loves sweet treats, so what better idea than this hand-stamped favor box that adds a personal touch to the always-popular edible favors. Andrea Gray Harper stops by today to share the how-to!
I have the cutest DIY tutorial to share with you today! My friends Kelly Marie from Fleur and Suzy from Lily Red Studio are stopping by to share a fabulous DIY billy ball escort card box how-to with us. Designed by Tiffany of Chicago’s Soiree Events, this sweet display is so easy and cute, and easily adaptable to any event!
Christen here again, loving lemon week! I hope you are all enjoying the lemony goodness. Today, I’ve got a round-up of lemony favors to send home with your guests. My favorite part about all of these? They’re DIY! First up, homemade lemon scrub for some silky smooth skin. Packaged in a cute container with some twine (divine or not) and even a label that matches your stationery, a body scrub is definitely a treat that your guests will love.
These adorable sachet favors make great gifts for your guests. They will leave your amazing event with the sweet smell of love (and lavender!).
