Something for HIM

Well, we usually cover everything weddings for the Bride on these blogs and not a lot for the 'man of the hour', e.g. your GROOM. So, we thought we'd look through some interesting options for your groom and his groomsmen boutonnieres.
Most men don't fancy the thought of wearing a flower on their lapel and they do so because we as women insist they do so on their wedding day and don the traditional apparel and buttonholes to match.

Its not every day a groom say's yippee...I get to wear a flower on my suit.
We've found some pretty clever options to the same old boring buttonhole boutonnieres as well as samples of some traditional ones with a slight twist as well.
You can find boutonnieres like this and more options on MyWedding.com

Decoder Save The Date

Can you get better than this! Especially for the Inspector Gadget lover in all of us.

I love the retro playfulness this save the date brings to the excitement of the upcoming wedding.

Cost Effective Props and Rentals

Nowadays, more brides are looking for most cost effective and green ways to decorate their wedding receptions without having to cut back on quality. One way I suggest is to start looking for more unique options that will also give that WOW factor.

At A Charleston Event and Bridal Library, we stock a wide variety of glassware and small lighting effects that are perfect for centerpieces on guest tables as well as focal points throughout the reception site. These are rented as opposed to being bought and are used over and over again, with the exception of the small amount of florals that are inserted to soften the look of the glass cylinders. The lampshades themselves are utilized on a variety of different stands, vases and cylinders in order to bring a couple's personal look to each table.

Also, these unique little etched lanterns make great accents on the cake table, cocktails and hung at different levels. Placed with an electronic candle, they are ideal for beach and outdoor weddings when votives just won't stay lit due to windy conditions.

For more ideas on props and rentals, check back on this blog and be sure to check the Bridal Library site for updates. The new website will be completed in June. www.BridalLibrary.com
