Wedding place card holders are essential if you plan on having special seating at your wedding reception. Assuring a spot for each guest means that people won’t have to sit with strangers and you can be confident they have something in common with their neighbor. There are many different ways to create a wedding seating chart. Start with family and then add friends. You can mingle friends with people who have similar interests. Create an escort table that has each person’s name with their table number. Attach them to something that matches your theme. Wedding place card holders can be put at a main table or at each place setting.

We love all the new wedding decor trends that are making their way into holiday and event decor. Wishing trees are one of the top 2012 trends that we’re seeing more and more of. Did you know that wishing trees are a Dutch wedding tradition? Wishing trees are great for centerpieces at baby showers and wedding receptions. Guests can share their well wishes with friends and family and you can incorporate them into a guest book afterwards. Baby shower themes can be: what do you wish for our child, tips to raising the perfect kid, or inspiring words for our child. Wedding guests can write about advice, special hopes or future wishes that the happy couple can read on their honeymoon. A wishing tree is a great guest book alternative for an outdoor wedding or a nature-inspired wedding theme. If your wedding invitations have a tree theme this wedding decor is perfect.

Create a wishing tree by painting manzanita branches white, silver or any décor colors to match your reception. Place a branch in a wood box or a special vase and prop it up with rocks or craft foam. Wrap your wooden box with Diamond Rhinestone Ribbon Wrap or paint to match reception colors. Then decorate your wishing tree with hanging crystal garland. If you’re creating a lighted display, decorate with hanging candle votive holders for a glamorous reflective accent. Then, once you’ve created your tree cut out tags so guests can write their wishes. Tie each tag with ribbon so guests can hang them on the branches. A simple sign inviting guests to give sweet advice for the new couple or baby addition propped out front will inspire them to give tips, advice or insight for you to share for years to come.

After the special event, take each tag and place it in a scrapbook with mini envelopes. The wedding wish tree is a creative alternative to the traditional guest book that most couples have. Use any accent colors you like and remember to make enough wishing tags for guests to share all their happy thoughts!
Candy buffets are no longer just for summer and spring weddings. They can be incorporated into a winter wedding with just the slight variation in color and decor! White weddings are the perfect way to showcase mint chocolate treats and peppermint bark for a stunning candy buffet display. The best part about a DIY candy bar is you can dress it up with baked goods and other favorite desserts that may be meaningful to the bride and groom. If you’ve shared a sweet ice cream date for your most memorable night out then decorate a retro candy buffet with ice cream sandwiches and hot cocoa to warm up after! One of my personal favorite is cake pops and cupcake displays that have stunning pops of color. Nothing complements white desserts better than sparkly toppings! Try adding a glitter cupcake wrapper to your cupcakes for a special bit of fancy.
I came across this inspiration board from thecakeblog.com on our Pinterest page. I love the way they incorporated the snowflakes as an integral part of the decor. Snowflakes represent winter and snowy weather so what better way is there to show off white cupcakes? Create a subtle mix of cupcakes, cookies and candies to give your guests a better selection to choose from. If a white on white color theme is not your style, try a silver and white wedding motif.
To create a stunning wedding candy buffet you need a mixture of candy bowls, candy buffet jars and cake stands. Adding different heights will mix up the table and look better aesthetically. Decorate with silver bowls and clear glass apothecary jars for a silver and white theme. Peppermint bark and s’mores theme treats are great for a winter themed party. Another crowd pleaser? Gold coins are perfect for a wedding near Christmas because they’re classic and a subtle reminder of the holidays. Plus, gold candy is a great way to accent white in a modern way. Once you’ve decided on your stands and your types of candy, then you can move on to accent decor. Decorate your cupcakes in any of our festive Christmas cupcake wrappers for a holiday wedding or our gold mini cupcake liners for a white and gold motif. Mini cupcake liners or baking cups are also perfect for putting cake pops and small Jordan almonds in to avoid guests having to dig into dishes of treats. Which reminds me, don’t forget the rest of your candy buffet supplies such as tongs, scoops and to go favor bags for guests to take their treats home!
A popular trend among DIY brides and wedding bloggers is the use of mason jars and paper decor. White Tissue Paper Pom Poms hung above your candy buffet is a great backdrop and photo opportunity. Mason jars are cute with a few colorful paper drinking straws. Or chocolate chip cookies balanced on top of a pretty glass of milk make for a sweet chocolate touch without interrupting the sweet tooth theme. If all of this seems a little too daunting or cavity inducing, try decorating a simple cupcake buffet display with cupcake wrappers for color and then giving guests personalized baking mix party favors instead. Whether you’re creating a stunning cupcake buffet or going all out with a candy and dessert display table, you’ll find all the candy buffet supplies for a white winterland wedding at Koyal Wholesale!

Did you know that more brides are choosing to have their wedding ceremony and reception in the same location? In addition to cutting wedding costs and combining locations, couples are also choosing to lower their costs by reducing the number of guests. Transportation has definitely been taken into consideration in the recent years, with gas prices being so outrageous in parts of the country. The fact that brides want their wedding to be closer to home and eliminate the need for transportation in between shows the budget conscious decisions brides are making. Fortunately, creating an intimate wedding with fewer guests in a comfortable setting is completely doable with DIY wedding tips and ideas from bloggers.

Bieber took the world by storm and it’s about time the crooner made his way into wedding videos. How adorable is that little shaggy haired singer and his love song woes? Well, this video came out a little while ago and as the caption reads: ”it hurts my hips just watching them move”. That’s an understatement. This wedding video has everyone dancing along and giggling with excitement. I’d plan my wedding over again if it meant getting a chance for this cute serenade from the groom and his back up dancers. What do you think?
Studio205Films really captured the excitement and groove of this dance. These are the reasons it is worth a splurge for a talented videographer, don’t you agree? If you could be surprised and crooned by Bieber would you absolutely adore it? We know we would.
