Monday à la Mode {Barn Wedding Wreaths}

This week on the Scenemakers blog we will be focusing on inspiration for a barn or mountain wedding – as we lead up to our next TV segment on Bride Access this Saturday. It seems to be the big trend here in Salt Lake for this coming summer.

The above images have great inspiration for the entrance to a wedding barn. A large hay wreath with over sized white drapes hung, make a big impact. Or try hanging your initials in greenery above the entry.

Wednesday Whimsy {Cake Inspiration}

Today’s whimsy inspiration comes from an amazing cake designer featured in Brides Local, Elizabeth Hodes. They commissioned her to come up with a cake using inspiration from interior design. The stye given to her was: Chinoiserie—a decorating style popular in 18th-century Europe that embraced Chinese motifs like birds and blossoms. Elizabeth used de Gourney wallpaper as her inspiration.

Tuesday Très Beau {Vintage Ribbon}

If you have ever felt stumped on how to add that unique touch to the way your personal flowers (most importantly, your bridal bouquet) are wrapped, check out some of the amazing vintage ribbon finds on Etsy. The blue and white stripped one above really captured me. It is an antique Victorian silk ribbon from 1817! I think that would do the trick for me.

Friday Fête {New Neighbor}

Friday Fête posts give me the chance to color outside the lines a bit. Today’s post may be way outside the wedding lines, but in neighborly spirit – and in my own excitement – I thought I’d welcome some new friends to town. Just across the street from us, at Trolley Square, Lulu Lemon has finally gifted Salt Lake a full retail store. I’ve been watching and waiting for quite some time now, as I run into Whole Foods to grab my morning snaks, for our new neighbors to rip down their fun window covers, and open their doors. This afternoon I finally got to shop at my favorite yoga outfitters. Please stop in and say hello to them.
