Happy Friday everyone! After a long week, we’re ready to hit the beach this weekend…which got us naturally thinking about all the beach weddings coming up this summer. If sandy, sunny nuptials sound like a tropical dream, we’ve put together a few must-haves that let you celebrate in style!
Let’s tackle centerpieces first. Beach weddings can range from chic and casual to refined elegance. Whatever your style, use your natural surroundings as your decor manual. Simple touches like natural sugar starfish (also work great for invitations and place card holders), tabletop tiki torches, or even natural driftwood branches used as table decorations play up on the beachy vibe. Charger plates add a pop of color and texture to your table scape in pretty beach colors such as aqua blue charger plates, ocean blue charger plates. Or embrace beach chic style with rattan chargers in brick brown, honey brown, or sand brown.
With a carefree and relaxed vibe, beach weddings often leave guests with a feeling of not wanting to return home to the “real world” right away. Therefore, give your guests mementos that will remind them of their seaside vacation. Candies in starfish burlap favor bags or personalized favor bags, personalized tote bags, and key chain favors such as starfish chains, mini flip flops are always favorites.
Finally, event decorations can really tie your whole celebration together. Play off the natural beauty of the sea and sand, and palm trees and tropical flowers. You can choose big decor pieces for maximum impact such as seashell driftwood garlands, driftwood garlands, tiered chandeliers in blue capiz shell, parasols, and personalized photo backdrops.
In end, a little creativity and inspiration will go a long way to creating the beach wedding of your dreams! Check out our Pinterest board for more ideas!

Welcome Home Baby Each person will have their own style and preference when it comes to packing their baby bag.

Most gifts you receive for your baby shower will be for once you’re settled in. But some baby shower gifts might be used on the day of so you’ll need to wash them ahead of time. Birth Kit The items that you put in your birth kit might vary if you prefer green items or green baby products. You won’t need to bring a full birthing kit unless you’re having a homebirth. These items will be mostly to keep you comfortable and sanitary. The nurses’ station might have a hospital bag checklist for you to use as a guide. You can use the same tote bag for all your belongings, or use a separate bag for baby items. A few washcloths, a pillowcase and sanitary wipes are always good to bring.

This travel kit, along with your tote bag can be placed in your car for a last minute grab! In addition to bathroom supplies, pack a pair of ballet slippers and extra socks for walking around.

When you’re planning a second baby, in many ways it can be just as hectic as your first. You have to make room for another child and still give your first born love and attention. Moms who are having second children—adopting or natural, can still enjoy the fun of a baby shower. Friends and family members choose to a baby shower theme such as “sprinkled with love” that is more about the love and support rather than the advice and tips. Baby showers are a fun way to pass along information and advice from mother to mother, but since second time moms already know the ins and outs of having a baby a “sprinkled with love” baby shower is fitting.
Something Sweet Instead of having a large baby shower cake, opt for small bite size treats. Ice cream sundaes, cupcakes and anything you can add sprinkles too. Sprinkles cupcakes can even be ordered for your dessert table. A stunning cupcake stand with yellow and white cupcake wrappers can create a “sprinkled with love” cupcake display. A blue and yellow color theme is the perfect way to add a ‘shower’ theme without looking too traditional. Use yellow candies and blue sprinkles for a color coordinated dessert table. Polka Dot Love Looking for a stunning party backdrop? Decorate with polka dot garland in fun colors. The pattern will match your sprinkled with love theme and add a pop of flair to your décor. Pair with paper lanterns and tissue paper pom poms for a shabby chic style. Just because you’re having a second child doesn’t mean you have to choose a boring shower theme. It means you can be more modern and unique with your style and activities. Skip the boring pink and blue for bold purples, retro greens and bright yellows. After all, when you’re having your second or third child you need a little variety with the baby shower gifts and baby shower ideas. Tied With a Bow Speaking of baby shower gifts, it’s important to think outside the box for a second child. Most moms already have hand-me-downs and gently used items from their first child. Adopting moms might need baby shower gifts for a slightly older child instead of a newborn. Put together a registry for items that you need for your child this time around. Whether you’re adopting or giving birth, your friends will appreciate knowing exactly what to get you and what you really need. Receiving an item you don’t need is just as stressful for your friends as it is for you. Baby shower gifts can be a lot easier if you have a simple gift list for friends to follow. Try using a universal online gift registry that lets you pull gift ideas from an online website. You can select a few baby shower outfits, baby supplies and even stock up on baby diapers through an online registry. In our opinion, hosting a baby shower for a mom expecting her second child is a lot easier and more fun. You have more time to plan activities for mom to pamper and indulge her rather than focus on teaching her everything there is to know about children. This time around you can splurge and spend a day at the spa or treat the kids to a fun play date!

There are a few unique ways to use a tan and gold wedding palette: a western cowboy theme or a rustic vintage chic style.

Not only are they great for an outdoor setting but they’re stunning in photography as well. Mismatched bridesmaid dresses with coordinated cowboy boots can be a great way to let your bridesmaids pick their own outfits. For the reception, thank them by giving them a pair of cute ballet slippers to free their feet after a long day.

On each table setting place a horseshoe wedding favor for gets to take home. If you want to decorate with gold, place a gold coaster at each table next to the glasses.

Fresh greenery creates a stunning backdrop for white paper lanterns and string lighting. If you can find a barn setting you’ve struck it rich! Barnyard weddings used to be reserved for a cowboy theme wedding but not anymore. Nowadays you can dress up a barn with bright white lights, birch candle décor and plenty of lace table cloths to create a rustic vintage chic theme. The delicate lace table linens with country chic birch wooden vases create a complementary pairing. You’ll have strong cowboy inspired masculinity mixes with subtle lace accents. Rustic Wedding Decorations To create this look, decorate your tables with a mixture of white and lace table linens. Burlap is a popular favorite but should be used instead of lace. Rustic weddings rely on a subtle décor in order to let the nature and surroundings be the accent. Use the greenery to your advantage by pairing it with soft white paper decorations. Tissue paper pom poms, paper lanterns and glowing metal lanterns will set the tone for a barn wedding feel without the rodeo vibe. Country Rustic Chic Creating a backyard rustic wedding doesn’t mean you have to lose the white dress or elegant décor. After all, the term chic means stylish and fashionable! Choose your accent pieces before you shop for wedding supplies. That way you’ll know what important reception décor you want to incorporate. Some brides use vintage plates as their accents and then decorate with subtle table linens and simple floral arrangements. If you want to use mason jars and votives to light up your table, stick to basic table linens instead. Be sure to check with your venue regarding open flames, or you might have to use battery-operated votives. If your spouse-to-be has a sweet tooth, maybe your cake stands and decorative dessert table is your accent table. The important thing to remember: creating a rustic chic wedding relies on simplicity and understated elegance. Brides are being adventurous with their wedding decorations. Birdcages, mason jars and retro bicycles are making appearances at these super cute weddings.

Candy Dessert Bar Once you’ve sent out candy invitations your guests will be expecting a fun dessert bar. Fill apothecary jars and glass vases with all of your favorite retro candies such as Lemonheads, Nerds and M&Ms; then using a cake pop stand create a lollipop display of rainbow colored lollipops. If you want to stick to a certain color theme, choose candies that are all one shade. If you’re having a retro style dessert you can feature candies in pastels colors. A Candyland themed wedding is the perfect excuse to dish up all your favorite candies as a sugary treat. Once you have your jars and vases filled to the brim with candy, decorate them with personalized labels to distinguish flavors. Be sure to label which candies have nuts for guests with allergies.
