There’s no denying that an aisle lined with floral pieces is effortless and beautiful. Whether it’s a basket full of baby’s breath, a crisp white carnation pomander ball or roses in a mason jar, an aisle lined with florals will be blooming with anticipation.

Rustic Chic

Not wanting to spend a fortune on ceremony décor? Opt for something DIY like personalized paper cones or tissue poms. Hang them on the side of every other row.

Candlelight Vows

There’s nothing more romantic than candlelit vows. Oversized lanterns create a simple, modern look. Add depth with several heights and shapes. What’s great about this option? It’s stress-free!

Aisle Say

Using initials and symbols is a unique way to express the personality of wedding and sets the ambiance of a heartfelt ceremony.

A Pop of Color

What we love about bringing your wedding colors into your aisle décor is that your guests get a little taste of what’s to come with your fabulous reception décor!

Do you want to make a bold statement in your wedding design? Neon colors have been showing up everywhere from the runway and style magazines to home decor. These playful neon pink, orange, and yellow accents can bring a delightful pop to any wedding.

Choosing a bold trend you love for your wedding is a great way to create a modern feel and a memorable day, but remember that all trends pass, and you will keep your wedding photos forever. While it is inevitable that any wedding planned today will look dated on 20 years (and is that so bad?), some trends will stand out more than others. Choose what makes you happy today, while keeping in mind how you will enjoy your wedding mementos in the future.

Neon hues are pretty happy colors for a joyous day, don’t you think?

Love the idea of a classic white cake? Drape flowers down the cake to make it your own. The cake baker can usually make sugar flowers, but if you want real flowers, then opt for the same or similar floral scheme as your bouquets or centerpieces.

Whether it’s a responsibility that is handed over to your groom or a family member, or if you’ve left the task to your cake designer as a special surprise, what’s truly great about cake toppers is that they require little time, effort and stress!

Nothing symbolizes that forever kind of love better than taking your groom’s name. It’s the thrill and excitement of saying “I do” that makes you want to shout it out, so why not do it!

The sky is the limit when it comes to customizing your wedding and monogramming is the perfect way to display you and your groom as a newly married couple.

Placing your initial(s) on a dance floor, cake, sweetheart table, favors, etc. can transform your wedding into a one-of-a-kind event. Check out a few of our favorites:

This couple brought their classic taste to the country by placing their initial on a rustic barn door. The white curtains with twinkle lights gave it an oh-so-romantic look.

Hanging letters from doors is an adorable trend that the Embellished Weddings team adores! In many cases, guests have been to local venues on more than one occasion, so it’s a nice treat for them to be welcomed by you, your groom and your families when they first walk inside.

A sweetheart table is the perfect place for “Mrs.” and “Mr.” signs. Hang hand-written or wooden letters over the back of a chair with ribbon or string.

An ice sculpture is something extra that couples use to spice up their food tables, and we love it! It can be as simple as a single initial or extravagant like this one. Use lighting to spotlight the sculpture so it doesn’t go unnoticed.

For many brides, finding gifts for her wedding party is a difficult task. Providing your maids with something comfy to wear on the special day like these cute towel wraps is a great option! Other common day-of, monogramed outfits include oversized button downs, jumpsuits or white tanks.

Let’s face it. When it comes to wedding attire we like a lot of choices, and with variety comes lots of opinions. So, to save the stress and loss of sleep over what decisions to make, try to focus on what a bridesmaid really is–a true friend. The important thing is to have fun and remember to be true to yourself!

If you are having a small outdoor wedding, consider preparing picnic baskets and blankets for your guests to lounge on the lawn and enjoy the reception.

Food trucks are very popular, and are known for their ability to quickly serve large numbers of people. Food on wheels comes in every variety: from tacos to ice cream to french cuisine, and can be a big hit at your wedding reception. Surprise and treat your guests with a street vendor!

Or, you could go with carnival-inspired food selections to match a festive theme. Pass trays of small bites that are popular at fairs like chicken and waffles, corn dog poppers, french fries, popcorn, funnel cake, or cotton candy. An interactive cocktail station where guests create their own spiked snow cones or cotton candy martinis could be a fun addition.
