WEDDING TREND ALERT! Paper Wedding

Weddings have become such a creative process from the days of having a traditional cookie cutter wedding with the same decorations and vows as your cousin Suzie. I absolutely love seeing new ideas and creative ways of stepping outside of the traditional wedding box filled with dos and don'ts. One do this wedding season is using coloured paper as a main decorative feature whether it be recycled and Eco-friendly or fancy and full of patterns and sparkle.

In this new series WEDDING TREND ALERT! I will be featuring what's hot, up and coming, or unique to start your own wedding trend. Nowadays with the internet almost anything is at your finger tips and even if you live in a small town with one grocery store and a Wal-Mart over 80 kilometers away you can still plan a fabulous wedding full of creative ideas.

This wedding trend alert is all about paper, you can create the looks above on a big budget and have everything pre-made with only set up required or you can DIY and put it all together from scratch!

One thing that is changing the way brides-to-be plan their weddings is paper flowers. Yep, paper flowers... once popular in the 1970s at weddings, they have now come back around and are more detailed than ever! Pauline at FAV Creations is a Canadian crafter who hand-makes and sells paper flowers for wedding bouquets, centerpieces, decors, and gifts. They are exquisitely crafted and amazingly priced. I swear of all of the different wedding visions I have imagined since getting married in 2010, a paper wedding with a paper floral wedding bouquet would be top of the list.

You can also find FAV Creations on Etsy where you will find more of her bridal bouquets, bouquet wraps, and centerpieces and decor.

Thinking of going with paper pom-poms for your wedding decor, here's some step by step how-tos for  making beautiful paper wedding details.

Pamper yourself & bridesmaids with Homebodii & YumYum Weddings!

I am so excited to share this blog feature with you because both items I have come across are things I wish I would have had for my pre-wedding pampering with my girls :) When I planned my pre-wedding festivities with my bridesmaids I rented a lovely cottage called Vintner's Cottage in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. We all arrived to the cottage the day before the wedding, had supper together, stayed up all night chatting about how anxious and excited I was for my wedding day, and got ready the next morning together before we arrived to the ceremony. I was lucky enough to have our wedding photographer (Heather Page Photography) meet us at the cottage before the wedding and take some of the most memorable photos of us getting ready for the big day.

It was perfect but there were two things missing... bridal robes and personalized wedding hangers! After I got married I started seeing both in various places and fell in love with them.

Homebodii offers brides-to-be and bridesmaids an alternative to the shabby bathrobe with a feminine line of Bridal Robes. Homebodii is known for turning a robe into a must-have fashion item for any women and it’s no surprise that they recently launched a new bridal robe collection. This new collection of robes is designed to be worn by brides and bridesmaids during the pre-wedding pampering and primping. The robes infuse this exciting getting ready time with elegance and glamour and also make beautiful and practical gifts for the bridal party!

My Favourite! 

Homebodii is located in Australia and shipments are made Monday through Friday via Australia Post from their studio on the Gold Coast, Australia.

So the other thing I was missing during my pre-wedding pampering was personalized wedding hangers. I love personalized wedding hangers in photos of the wedding and bridesmaid dresses and they would go perfectly in a bridesmaid gift with one of these gorgeous robes. Check out YumYum Weddings' wedding party and personalized wedding hangers!

YumYum Weddings also has bouquet jewelry, wedding accessories, decorations, bridal accessories, invitations and stationary, as well as gifts and favours so check them out :) For your wedding make sure you have no regrets and pamper yourself and bridesmaids with bridal robes and personalized hangers to make everyone feel extra special!
