Ideas for a Gorgeous Music-Themed Wedding

Hello to all our Lots of Love Readers! There is a popular saying that says, "Music is what feelings sound like." A little background music can create a lasting impact to any given scenario. Music can be a great inspiration for a wedding. Couples who are musically inclined or have music at the center of their relationship can turn their passion into the underlying theme for their wedding.

Here's a great selection of elements that will make a music-themed wedding extra special:

The invite to the most important concert of the couple's lives - their wedding.

Blush floral bouquet made of music sheets.

For the groom, musical instrument accent to the boutonniere

Cuff links that the groom can use even after the wedding.

For the bridesmaids, floral cones made of music sheets adorned with ribbon, lace and stringed pearls.

Gorgeous aisle decor of floral petals arranged in the shape of musical notes.

Wedding programs/ Paper fans for a sunny outdoor wedding.

Create a backdrop of vinyl records for the wedding reception.

Classy centerpiece. Flowers arranged in tall goblet vases and placed on top of music sheets.

Awesome centerpiece of flowers and miniature musical instruments.

Escort Cards tucked in clothes pins.

To create an awesome seating chart, use album covers instead of the usual table numbers.

Simple details like cutlery tucked with flowers and wrapped with music sheets tie it all together with the music theme.

Have guests place their well wishes cards on a guitar case.

Line mason jars with music sheet and place battery operated lights inside to create an interesting table centerpiece.

Exquisite wedding cake with music sheet design.

A must have on the dessert table: cupcakes with musical notes.

Live music to entertain everyone at the wedding reception.

And of course, a lot of dancing to your favorite tunes.

Have guests sign their names and wishes on vinyl records which you can later use as wall decor.

Key chain with music notes design as wedding souvenir.

Lots of Love,

Susan

Exciting Pinwheel Wedding Ideas

Unknown 6:28 PM Add Comment

Colorful greetings to all out Lots of Love Readers!

When we think of summer, we picture sun-kissed cheeks, the gentle breeze blowing on one's hair while having a great day out in the sun. Planning a summer wedding gives one the opportunity to take advantage of the good weather and the benefit of having a beautiful background be it the beach, the country, woodland, the garden or even the park. If an outdoor wedding is not your thing, you can bring summer indoor by infusing some fun and exciting vibe into the wedding celebration. One simple and exciting way of doing this is by using pinwheels.

Pinwheels are one of the many things that remind us of childhood and those timeless days spent running around and having fun. These days, we do not get to do much of that but we can relive those childhood memories by incorporating it into the wedding theme. Here are some exciting pinwheel designs perfect for a fun-filled wedding celebration:

Something simple. Wedding invitation with pinwheel details

Something unique. Toss the flowers and go for a pinwheel wedding bouquet.

Something eye-catching. Colorful pinwheel boutonniere for the groom

Something cheerful. Paper pinwheels instead of floral bouquets for the bridesmaids

Something fun. Flower girls will definitely enjoy walking down the aisle with twirling pinwheels.

Something whimsical. Say your vows under this colorful wedding arch of paper pinwheels and fans.

Something ethereal. Combine simple elements such as painted bottles, white flowers and pinwheels to create an aisle decor worth noticing.

Something festive. Decorate chairs with pinwheel garlands.

Something creative. Let the pinwheel lead you to your seats with these ingenious seating cards.

Something candid. Fancy paper pinwheels, ribbons and an orange (!) combo for a table centerpiece.

Something shabby. It's the paper pinwheel on the usual floral and wood ensemble that makes this table centerpiece a head turner.

Something adventurous. Recreate a movie date experience with this movie tickets, popcorn and pinwheel table centerpiece.

Something gorgeous. Pinwheels of different colors arranged in different heights.

Something splendid. Paper pinwheels in different sizes and colors serving as backdrop to the newlywed's table.

Something delightful. Serve thirst quenchers with pinwheel stirrers.

Something adorable. Pinwheel napkin rings will be a sure hit at the reception.

Something scrumptious. Colorful candies as wedding favors.

Happy greetings to all our Lots of Love Readers!

For the adventurous bride, everything out of the ordinary is fun and exciting. And when it comes to the bridal bouquet, the choice is not limited to flowers. An alternative to the floral bouquet popularized during the 80s is the fan wedding bouquet. It is an interesting twist to the usual floral arrangement that accentuates the bride's pristine white dress. The fan wedding bouquet is handy and lightweight compared to its floral counterpart. It gives the bride more flexibility in carrying with either hand. Fan wedding bouquet designs range from the simple to the eclectic to suit any wedding theme or motif.
