Wedding & Reception Inspiration

Just wanted to share some of the photos that I've collected so far from various websites (mostly wedding websites like http://www.theknot.com/ (I think theirs are labeled with a watermark on the photo) & http://www.stylemepretty.com/, but I truly have no idea which photos came from which sites!).  Hope you enjoy!

I LOVE this cake!!

Don't know if you can tell in the pic, but there are 2 small lockets/frames on the bouquet. I was trying to figure out a way to include my grandparents who are no longer living. This is the perfect way to keep them close on that day. Also, neither of Bill's parents are living so I want to try to include the same thing on his boutonniere.

I've always loved lanterns. They're very home-y to me. I don't know how I'll incorporate them yet, but I'll think of something   :)

These are so pretty & different! Imagine the red one as a light pink....pretty  :)

I don't know what these are actually called. I've been calling them paper poms. I love them! They're so cute!

Something like this would be pretty on the front of the church doors.

The reception area that we chose is beautiful, but a little tight. I couldn't figure out how we were gonna fit very many tables & chairs in the room for people to eat at without it being too cramped. This is a great idea! Use taller tables & no chairs! We'll of course have to add some seating somewhere, but this will be a great space saver in the main area.

I don't know what I would do with these, but I like them  :)

Well, hope you like the direction we're going so far. The look I'm going for is elegant, shabby chic. If you have any suggestions or other ideas, feel free to share!
