We LOVE this from WEDDING CHICKS!
This feature is entirely staged! And is actually an un-wedding. Utah wedding vendors Peter Loves Jane and Ella Bella Floral & Event Planning came up with the idea to host an event that had all the elements of a wedding, but was not really a wedding at all. An affair to inspire brides, let vendors show off their talents and basically host the wedding of their dreams.
With a plethora of vendors including five photographers, there is plenty of eye-candy to check out.
During the real brainstorming sessions, they realized that they were going to have a tough time narrowing down their ideas into a single event concept, so they decided to pass the decision on to their blog readers. First, they collected a number of style boards, uploaded them to their blog, and asked readers to vote for their favorite. It was close race for a number of days, and the garden style board pulled ahead at the last minute. With vintage style board being such a close second, we opted to let vintage styling influence the garden wedding. Next, they collected some of their favorite color inspiration boards and put them up for voting. Not surprising the colors of nudes, blush and peach hues won by landslide.
Tons of peach florals, fancy cakes and diy projects that we know you will love.
The wooden crates that were stacked on the sides of the draperies were very inexpensive, easy and added that earthy element to the garden style wedding. These were found at local antique stores for less than $10 each. They were stacked, with flowers and photos of the couple on them. We love that they can be re-purposed after the wedding. They can become wall-mounted shelves, end tables, a coffee table; the possibilities are as endless as your imagination or what you can find on Pinterest!
One of our favorite features of this wedding was the pallet stage. It was about as inexpensive and easy as could be. The pallets were purchased from a local pallet building company. Making sure they were sturdy and not falling apart, for $3 each. To assemble the stage, the pallets were simply laid 4 of them on top of a section of felt on the floor and then stacked 2 more on the center seam. They were secured with screws for peace of mind. The company even refunded the money when they were returned! So it really cost nothing!
A currently popular DIY element is the lace lanterns. The lanterns are made by overlapping lace doilies on an inflated balloon and brushing fabric stiffener (or wallpaper glue, or even white glue) onto the doilies. Be sure to cover it completely so that the whole thing hardens and you aren’t left with limp spots. Let the doilies dry overnight to ensure that they are completely dry. The last step is to pop the balloon and pull it out of the opening. The lanterns can be hung with a ribbon or fishing line draped with strands of beads, as was done for this event.
