wedding trends that you wish would go away.

as a person who *tries* to keep up with the latest wedding trends, there are definitely a few I would LOVE to see go away. some, like mustaches, I just never understood. others have just plain worn out their welcome. here are my top 4!

seriously. mustaches are not funny, or cute, or anything but creepy.

 I've seen enough yellow and gray weddings to last me until the second coming of Christ. 

ever seen the video " put a bird on it?" then educate yourself: 

  the word bird could be easily replaced with banner. banners are everywhere. 

Not sure what to fill that empty space with? put a banner on it!

don't get me wrong. I love me some vintage and always will, but doing an over-the-top vintage 

wedding these days lacks originality in my opinion. start thinking outside of the box again, brides!

 what are some of your least favorite wedding trends that you'd like to see go away?

Real Wedding: Karli & Michael

I am so in love with the images from this wedding... they are so romantic! Which is exactly what I think the bride was going for. I admire Karli for not going the vintage route which so many brides seem to be doing these days. although there were hints of vintage, overall the wedding had a very romantic, contemporary feel. Here are some of my favorite photos! thanks so much to Pure Photography By Lindsey for the truly gorgeous images!

Custom Design Sneak Peek!

I've been working on a custom mock-up design for the past few days. So far it's been my most favorite one to create. The bride & groom's wedding colors are papaya and gray. I could not have picked a yummier color combination myself. I was so excited when she told me she loves sweets and wanted something fun, and also mentioned she wanted the typography to stand out.

Here is a peek at what I've come up with so far. And yes, those ARE cupcakes and gumdrops!

Logo Design

I'm considering offering logo design in my shop. I know there are a lot of sellers who offer monograms (that all look eerily similar to me), but there are very few who offer custom designed logos. I just did this one with orchids in a vase, and I loved how it turned out!
