TBS Inspiration: Watercolor Invitations

Have you noticed the latest trend in wedding stationary yet?

If not, just take a look around ... watercolors are booming these days, with all different pops of colors.

Subdued pinks and blushes to pops of oranges and blue hues. These pieces can look classy and sophisticated or then can have an organic look. 

 This trend isn't stopping with the invitation either, Brides are using these unique designed and incorporating them into wedding signage like programs, menus and escort cards!

The great thing about this trend is it's a great way to get in touch with your crafty side, or you can pre-order them online or with a local graphic designer!

Are you incorporating watercolor in your wedding this year?

Let's Eat Cake

Mmmm cake! We all love this part of the wedding! There nothing more enjoyable than a decadent piece of wedding cake! Whether it’s chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, red velvet, our guests are sure to swoon over this classic wedding tradition. 

Wedding cakes are starting to become much more unique, and almost a piece of artwork for the reception. The wedding cakes are often times being tied into the theme of the wedding, or showing off who the bride and groom are as a couple. When our parents tied the knot there was probably a simple tiered vanilla or chocolate cake with a traditional couple wedding topper sitting on the top! Not to mention the frosting was often times a simple vanilla buttercream! 

Wedding cakes now come in flavors from chocolate-almond cake with chocolate ganache, to coconut cake and lime buttercream. How does hazelnut-almond cake with raspberries and chocolate ganache, or lemon cake with vanilla buttercream sound? Sounds pretty tasty to me! Along with wedding flavors changing, cake toppers are also beginning to get more unique. Often times couples are putting wedding toppers that reflect who they are such as monograms, flowers, beautiful sayings, and even sports figures! 

So when thinking of ways to customize your wedding, don’t overlook this classic aspect of the wedding!

TBS Wedding: Tracy & Chris

When you think of a beautiful couple, you think of Tracy and Toph.  

Together, they are genuine, devoted and a stunning Bride & Groom!  We had the pleasure of working closely with Tracy planning her wedding day.  The day itself was warm, but beautiful ... until the rain!

Their outdoor wedding overlooking the bluffs of the Missouri River was quickly moved indoors last minute.

Despite the rain, Tracy and Toph said I DO insider their reception, in a candlelit, intimate ceremony with close friends and family.  Looking back, would your really want it any other way?

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Fornili ... it was a pleasure working with you both!

TBS Inspiration: Bridesmaids Scafts

 Who doesn't love scarves? 

Scarves provide more than just an extra coat around your neck. They make the perfect accent to any outfit, during any season. Instead of giving your brides scarves as a gift, have them strut it down the aisle on the day of the wedding! It's trendy, fun, and the styles are limitless.

Take a look at how these lovely bridesmaid strutted their scarf!
