Not just junk in the trunk.

As I am currently remodeling my bathroom, I have been looking for a vintage truck to use as storage under a table.  It gave me a great idea of trunks and suitcases in weddings...why not? I am in love with vintage themes anyway.....so feast your eyes below on some cool ideas to incorporate into your day of love.

What a cute idea for wedding wishes--card holder/display: a vintage suitcase with a handmade sign. Super cute.

Another version of a vintage suitcase card-holder.  This would be great for a vintage, garden or tea-party theme wedding

Here trunks and suitcases are utilized as decor giving a rustic feel to a formal affair.

 

A stack of vintage trunks are used to display at a wedding reception. Super cute and the trunks can then be used within the newly-wed home as a nightstand or coffee table etc.  Check out my other blog, Feather Your Nest to see other ideas for trunks.

Love, love, love this little sweet vinette for props at a wedding reception.

A steamer trunk is used here as a coffee table for a staged lounge area at a wedding recption. Fun and functional

I love this trunk idea here staged with an old typewriter and books.  The clock makes it.

Once married, take your trunk out in a meadow and take wedding pics with it like this.

Vintage Camper Wedding, YES

Hello all, after a small hiatus due to unforeseen circumstance:  My Little Lovely is back......

 

I have been working on a great idea for our on-line store Simply Home Ltd. for our mobile boutique, Curb Appeal.  Read about what we are doing here.  In any case:  upon researching to update our vintage Play-Mor Camper.......I stumbled upon a gorgeous wedding idea:

 

Vintage Camper Wedding:

 

Start out with a beautiful site in a natural location

 

Notice the handmade arch from vines and fabric flags in a small floral fabric. True that less is more.

 

Ceremony pics.  Love the suit and tie...Plain, Simple Elegant.

 

the Dress looks like a gorgeous cotton eyelet. Simply Stunning...letting the bride shine through.

 

Wedding Party....yellow is the tone...Natural beachy fashion.....

 

You could easily do this yourself with paper card stock and twine.  Super cute idea with the vintage camper rubber stamp.

 

 

 

Bride and Groom pics in the same beautiful location.  With scenery this cool, who needs decor.

 

 

 

Something so sweet is the stump that the bride is standing on.  Lovely and makes the pics whimsy

 

Ultimate Favorite Picture.............Worth a thousand words

 

Enjoy!



Airport Theme Wedding

Given my last post about possible ideas regarding a Theme for your wedding, and taking ideas directly from your life with your betrothed.  I thought it would be fun to create a Retro Airport Theme as a tribute to meeting my husband at the Philly airport, traveling on the same plane back home. 

Hopefully, you can take some of these ideas and incorporate into your own wedding.  If so, I would love to showcase you and your wedding:  So contact me.

Wedding Theme Ideas

I was watching Dick Clark's count-down to the New Year last night and Ryan Seacrest, posted some stats from Facebook: Over 22% of people changed their status to Engaged in 2011.  Wow, considering how many people are on Facebook, that is quite stagering and at this point, a lot of gals out there starting to plan their wedding: alass with a gorgous bauble on her finger now!  Its ligite now.

Since I posted last about getting into the planning mode. I thought a post about wedding ideas and themes would be most appropriate.  Gone are the days of running to a Justice of the Peace, or courthouse (not entirely--but for the most-part) And, gone are the days of just having a simple wedding. I do's now take much more fan-fare to produce. Now, I don't mean crazy, out-there, shin digs......but, many people attending weddings today expect at least a little something special. So, how do you start?

Start with creating a website to keep your friends and family informed all about what is going on from your engagement to directions to the reception and more.

Paper Divas has some awesome website template programs that can enhance your overall look and "branding" for your wedding. Check them out.

First, think about the things you enjoy together as a couple.  Do you love Skiing? Or perhaps enjoy your weekly Poker night with your friends? How about a lovely Cottage by the Sea or a Walk in the Woods?  Maybe Horses have always been special to you all as a couple or you love 1950's Glam. Did you meet in a coffee shop? I am sure you can come up with a few ideas just by brainstorming. Then, google them to assist you with ideas etc.  Here are some of my pics for the above mentioned ideas...

Skiing

Poker

Cottage by the Sea

Walk in the Woods

Horses

1950's Glam

Coffee Shop

Yellow is Hot.

The color of Sunshine.  The color of your favorite condiment on the good-ole' American ball-park staple.  Yellow:  A symbol of happy and fun.  Not the most common color scheme for a wedding, but Yellow looks great and vibrant with any matched color.  Be daring and cross over the color-wheel spectrum and pair Yellow with Turqoise or Hot-Pink.  Or keep it simple and fresh by staying true to yellow and nature, paring it with green and white.

Look at the photo belows to get ideas for your wedding. Don't hold back......Hello, Yello, you are my new best friend.

Circus Theme

Remember what fun it was when the circus came to town?  You would talk about it for weeks and when the big day finally came, you couldn't sleep the night before. Have you ever thought about a circus themed wedding? Am I dreamin' you ask? Of course--Fun is what dreams are made of!  But after you look at these pics from 100 Layer Cake, I am sure this will be hard to get out of your head.....STEP RIGHT UP!

I'm loving the natural seating and of course the directional signs.  And, who thought pictures of elephants would look sooooo cool as decor for a wedding?

Who would not love the non-traditional take on the veil with this super cute black top hat with netting. Those gorgeous green earring are awesome, enhances the bride's eyes and are totally unexpected.  Just like the wedding party attire. Letting them wear something out of their own closet.  It looks chic and fun and talk about being able to wear your bridesmaides dress again.

The mismatched furniture that looks like it came out of grandma's house, but somehow now in this environment looks quite quaint, inviting and totally circus chic as well as the upside-down mismatched umbrellas definitely throw the reception some spark--speaking of, how wild to have a flam thrower as entertainment.

Having a cicus themed wedding allows you to have ordinary, everyday food like pronto-pups and peanuts, but offer them in a visually creative way that makes them seem special....just like it did long ago when you were a kid sitting in the big-top.





The beautiful nature-inspired floral centerpieces, which mimic the bride's and bridesmaids bouquets, infuses just a bit of whimsy but with a rich burgandy color. And, really, who could say no to moonshine? Talk about a special "signature" drink.  This is definitely a wedding to remember.  Just hope there wasn't too many headaches the next day.
