Board #12: From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

Sorry for the late post today! Now who didn't want to run away to live in the Met after they read this book by E.L. Konigsburg?



Okay, well I did. And what better inspiration for a wedding than a visit to one of the most incredible museums on the planet? For this board, I went with an elegant New York event, with mostly black and white elements, with some dabs of deep purple and grays.

Mood: elegant, tasteful
Palette: charcoal, white, aubergine

Top row from left: black pearls, cake from Beaux Gateaux, Alberta Ferretti aubergine coat, hairstyle from The Knot
Row 2: the Met, Pronovias gown from Brides UK, thistle boutonniere from The Knot
Row 3: dahlia bouquet from MS, Prestat chocolates, suit from Brides UK
Row 4: Maybelle calligraphy, match barrel from Wedding Things, tuxedo bouquet from MS

Now, as for actually getting married at the Met, check this video out...definitely in the spirit of Claudia and Jamie Kincaid hiding away in the museum.

Title: Our Feature Presentation: Personalized Aisle Runners

Because weddings are transitioning more into personalized events, rather than traditional proceedings, it's key for brides and grooms to find their ideal blend of modern day trend to everyday wedded tradition. So, what better way to do this than by customizing your time-honored wedding day accessories with your own personalized style?

One accessory that does this beautifully, is the customary "rolling out of the red carpet" aisle runner. Because every bride dreams of that magical moment when the doors open and she walks down towards the man of her dreams, it's important to make the grand entrance count! And nothing will punctuate your entrance more beautifully than one of our Personalized Aisle Runners.

Fashioned in white, non-woven rayon for traditional look, each of our countless aisle runners is individually crafted for every bride and groom. Available in a variety of accent colors, designs and layouts, our runners become an even more one of a kind keepsake when couples add their names, monogram, initials and wedding date to the design of their choice!

Then, with the free personalization intact, newlyweds will be ready to place it down and roll it out for the big day celebration. Because each runner comes kitted with adhesive strip backing for placement and pull cord for easy extension down the aisle, it's no wonder why this has become an instant best seller!

Measuring 36 inches wide by 100 feet long, these ceremony essentials are designed to fit any aisle, and because the personalization is placed 8 feet from the top, photographers will easily be given a stand-out focal point to capture on the day you say "I do."

But don't let the fun end there! Really let your creativity run wild and line the aisle with petals, tulle, twinkle lights or even candles for added romance. Because it has a look that works just as beautifully inside a traditional church, as it does outside surrounded by nature, you'll see how easily you can instantly transform any location into a ceremony-ready site.

And for even more ways to create an all-around unified theme - check out our long list of matching products that will have your guests: Wedding banners, table runners, photo booth backdrops, cake toppers and surround your wedding day with personalized décor that's all about you!

It truly is exciting to see a wedding day come together, and Personalized Aisle Runners are one way to take your ceremony from ordinary to extraordinary. Thanks for watching and cheers to many years of happiness!

Board #82: Green and White, Revisited

Again with the green and white, I know. This time I tried to keep things pretty clean, classic, and not quite modern. I have been making quite a few boards from brides' requests lately, but this one is just for me (no, I don't mean for planning my own wedding, calm down). I love each of these images individually, and they pull together so well.

Mood: clean, classic
Palette: green, white, black accents
