NEW RENTALS!!!

I am so excited to introduce a few new rental items into my inventory. As you know, Wonderful Day Weddings has amassed a collection of very cool things over the years. All of them pertain to weddings. Seriously, I've had so many clients give me things like candle votives, mirrors, extra bolts of tulle... I quickly realized that these items could be useful to other clients. I knew that my collection of nifty things was worthy when my husband had to build me huge shelves just to house everything. I have a lot of great table top accessories but decided to expand. You see, I kept finding unique items at garage sales, thrift stores and antique shops and if I thought it could possibly be used at a wedding, I bought it. Now, a year later I have so many wonderful accessories!

Meet one of my newest. His name is Albert and he is a black 1939 Smith & Corona type writer. He still works great and would make a lovely and unique guest book! Guests can type out just their names or well wishes. Of course, he could also be used as the escort card table centerpiece! I also found this lovely, round galvanized tub that I like to call Betty. Betty is fantastic for housing water bottles or beer on ice. She could also be used as a container for your wedding programs.

Speaking of containers, I found this lovely, vintage 60's suitcase, Penny Lane.

I think she would be perfect for holding cards or favors!Finally, I have to introduce Collette. She is a beautiful, antique, French frame that has been given a new life as a large chalkboard. I like to envision Collette displaying the menu or serving as the seating chart! What would you do with her?

I'm sure I will be updating my inventory a lot this summer. I'm always on the hunt for things that are cute and useful at weddings. Plus, I love salvaging and giving new life to otherwise forgotten pieces!

Mint & Lemon Wedding

Spring has sprung! With daffodils blooming and the bright green buds of trees popping out, I couldn't help but be inspired. I think that pastels make a wonderful color palette for any spring wedding. This year, my favorite soft color pick is mint and lemon!

I love this color scheme because it isn't too girly. It screams fresh, young and modern. For event design, incorporate either bold 60's fabrics or go more traditional with stripes. With vintage weddings so popular it is easy to find mint green milk glass. Use it for centerpieces, cake stands or even dishes!

With so many fantastic scrapbooking papers, it would be a blast to create invitations with these colors. I envision bold flowers, polka-dots, stripes or modern patterns. Strong type mixed with a more flirty font.

This color combination is light and airy but you could easily add a pop of sophistication with mustard yellow or teal as an accent color. I love the idea of the gentlemen wearing light gray or taupe suits and yellow boutonnieres. For ladies, I would suggest flowy mint dresses, bright yellow bouquets, and mustard or teal accessories. Lemon colored heels for the bride would be awesome for pictures.

There are so many fun "foodie" accents you could do for this palette. Playing off of mint and lemon, serve lemon cupcakes with green tinted frosting. For beverages you could have a signature drink of hard lemonade with a sprig of mint and striped straws. I'm sure that your caterer could even create a tasty menu around these colors! (Although, that might be taking it a little bit too far. ;D)Wouldn't it be cute to have lemon drop favors in mint boxes?

Oh so many possibilities! I hope I've inspired you.
