We don’t see too many bridemaids wearing corsages anymore, but wouldn’t that be cute? A blooming peonie with hanging sequin to wrap around their wrists?

Hope we’re not the only ones that noticed the dessert on the menu: Strawberry milkshake with chocolate sprinkles! Perhaps a milkshake bar? That’s a fun idea for a retro 50s inspired wedding.

Add a classy touch by folding sleek black napkins to look like bow ties on your dinnerware.

Glitter + bold colors gets us every time. Thank you to all the creative minds behind this shoot! We’re feeling spunky and ready for a milkshake after this shoot!

The altar made with paper garland, rope, and fabric, hung for the happy couple to use as their backdrop. Macrame string displayed hot pink rocks in glass votives to brighten the middle layer. Stunning, right?

Loving the geometric patterns on the suite, designed by The Creative Parasol. The rsvp card check boxes read: HECK YES or aw, shucks.

Fun centerpiece of protea, garden roses, and ranunculus was assembled over a handcrafted leopard print tablecloth with white tassels.

They even included piñatas into their shoot! Take a peek at those geometric ones below. Nice twist on the traditional.

Ok, we’re ready for the weekend to get here. Oh yeah, and Summer too!

Bryan built the arch they married under and Silvia added her touch by hanging bright ribbon from it.

We’re a fan of escort cards doubling as party favors especially when they’re potted succulents! What lucky guests they had.

Silvia printed and gold-paint-dipped the thank you/menu cards that were placed at each place setting. The table numbers were also painted/stained/put together by her. I bought unfinished wood craft frames from Michaels ($1 each) and stained them the same color as what went on the wedding arch. I used cardstock purchased at Michaels for the backing and painted the wooden numbers the same gold that I used for the thank you/menu cards and on the “pick a seat” sign for cohesiveness.

Hello, we want these centerpieces! Silvia wanted their centerpieces to look as if they had been plucked from a field… mossy and overflowing… very organic with a combo of white hydrangea, mini green hydrangea, dinner plate dahlias, white ranunculus, artichokes, dusty miller, maiden hair fern, green hypericum, succulents potted, succulents, moss and Manzanita branches.

That fun gold LOVE print came from MadebyGirl.

The cake stand was also Bryan’s creation. They found the stump on a slope near their house, hauled it back to their place and cut it to size, polyurethaned it and carved their initials on it.

Quite the handy bunch aren’t they? Congratulations Silvia + Bryan!

Idea #1: Paint chips. Hello, Home Depot! They can go a long way and are cheap. Plus there are handfuls of colors to choose from. For a big impact, consider scale and the appeal of an entire wall of color swatches.

Idea #2: Forgo traditional jewelry in favor of a bib necklace made from ranunculus and peonies (or whatever flowers fit your theme), or a ring made of clover. Fresh floral jewelry is the perfect accessory for a springtime bride.

Idea #3: Remember those paint chips you got? Keep extras to use as your escort cards! You can hang them across a rope with mini clothespins or mount them onto a large white backdrop that can be watercolored over.

Idea#4: Tear out a page from your sketchbook or bring in a sample of a Cy Twombly painting for icing inspiration.

The paint chip wall, the floral necklace, cake…it’s all amazing!
