Love These Tender: Wedding Shoes

photo: Elvis Blog

There's no celeb that understood the importance of personality than ELVIS! From August 10-16th, it's National Elvis Week... and while an Elvis Themed wedding might be over the top for all but the most diehard fans, these shoes are a fun way to add your own bit of Elvis-inspired bling to your big day! I adore when brides chose fun shoes... it's such a fun way to express your style.

Big Heart...

I big heart (literally) these adorable tanks (arrow heart tank top) from The Wedding Chicks. I'm a girl who loves monograms and personalization but so, so much more in the modern craftista format. Also given that there's a giant stack of wifebeater tanktops (hmm. I really wish there was a better name for those... especially when writing a wedding blog!) in my closet, I'm an insta fan of this.



...and! Additional 'big heart' to their free, customizable downloads. These are so adorable for a shower or your welcome bag tags. Choose a color, you and your honey's initials, and they'll email you a printable template that matches their kickin' tank. Merci, Wedding Chicks! How very fun.

Rock 'n' Roll Invites

I came across these last night and love the idea of a music 'poster' for a fun theme if you're a music aficionado. Or if you've booked your wedding at the Fox Theatre or the Tabernacle, either would be a super fun fit for these! If this is a little wild for your dream wedding invites, how about using these for a rehearsal dinner? I would pair with a matching CD labels for favors or a artistically designed 'concert t-shirt' style favor! From etsy.com seller rasideas.

Pretty Invites from DG

How pretty are these invitations?!

We love the vibrant pink paired with the lotus flower (this design is aptly named LOTUS, too!). The lotus flower is known for its representation of health and good luck... a pretty sweet way to start off a wedding, wouldn't you agree?

There's so much out there when it comes to quality invitations - and especially the ones which can inspire a theme for your entire event. These invites would make for a serene theme, and lotus flowers would certainly make for a lovely focal point.

We had fun meeting the Atlanta-based owner of DG Invites last week and got excited about her unique designs!

4 Favors to Get Growing!

Inspired by the fact that today is National Go Outside Day, here's some inspiration for favors that'll get you growing!

1. Certified Organic Basil Seeds (top left) paired with mini terra cotta pots... plus a recipe card for your grandma's basil infused tomato sauce? Genius, we say!

2. These sweet seed favor kits (top right) in vellum envelopes would be fun paired with escort cards.

3. Brightly colored with five punchy color choices make these seed treats from Botanical Paperworks (bottom left) will come up wildflowers... and the seeds are all a part of the paper, so guests just plant the entire 'seeded paper.' Fun for even the green thumbless guest!

4. From the Knot.com, these adorable lucky bamboo fit the bill for a Asian or modern wedding, complete with hangtag.
