One of the most beautiful parts of bridal decor can come in the form of the bridal bouquet. One way to make that single grouping of gorgeous buds even more unique would be to encase it in a beautiful fabric - like silk or lace! Try wrapping a gorgeous scarf or a bit of delicate lace around your bouquet to set it apart and dazzle your guests.

I adore beautiful flowers and because we work with some of the best florists around we were privy to some absolutely stunning wedding bouquets last year. Being surrounded by such gorgeous flora we get so spoiled with all of the pretty - it's a little overwhelming! Since we are all SO ready for color, Spring, Summer, and more flowers, I wanted to share some of our favorites from last year!

Fabric bouquets are all the latest craze, and they're becoming popular for good reason - they're reasonably priced, make for a great keepsake, and won't wilt, ever! Some of the latest styles even look real, others are designed with vintage brooches, creative fabrics, or embellished with dried plants and herbs. I think they're a great alternative for a bouquet; you could use it at the rehearsal for practice, have your bridesmaids carry one, or get custom fabric boutonnieres made for the groomsmen and your sweetie!

Pumpkins are just the cutest things! They can be dressed up (in lace!), dressed down, or used as the quintessential Fall decor piece. Here in Tahoe yellow Aspens, red Birch leaves, and green Pines lend to the Fall color scheme with pumpkins providing pops of beautiful color. You can use these cute little gourds to hold candles and line stairs for a beautifully lit staircase, hollowed out and filled with sprinkles for a cupcake bar or as a rustic and organic flower vase for tables.

Today we have the beautiful wedding of Anna & Steve from earlier this June. The venue was the bride's gorgeous Lakeside home in the Glenbrook neighborhood on the East Shore of Lake Tahoe. Anna & Steve's ceremony was on the beach and the wind calmed down just in time for their ceremony! Thanks to the very talented Court Leve for the images and Sara Spurlock with Bellissima Florals for all of the wonderful flowers!

Technically speaking, the entire wedding celebration is meant to commemorate one thing, your ceremony. During the ceremony you say vows to your soon to be sweetie-for-life, and the "altar" of sorts is what you stand before to immortalize your love for one another. Here are a few unique altar ideas; I hope you get inspired to make your ceremony site something special!
