Wednesday Wedding Inspiration: Favors

Welcome to Wednesday Wedding Inspirations! 

Today I will be continuing a weekly series where I share ideas and inspirations for anyone who is planning a wedding, or anyone who just loves everything about weddings. Last week, I posted about wedding gowns so if you missed it..you can check it out here. 

This week I will be sharing some ideas on some creative, fun and budget friendly favors. 

Favors are a great way to give a little thanks to your guests for making it out to your big day..as well as to have some fun and really showcase who you and your man are as a couple. 

My hubby and I love a good night out with friends and some cocktails..so these favors are right up our alley! 

Feel free to click on any of the photos throughout this post to be redirected to the source of the photos :) 

A cheaper alternative to this would be to buy your own shot glasses from discount stores such as Ross, TJ Maxx, Homegoods, etc. You could put your own sayings on the glass using vinyl, or you could just go ahead and fill them with candy.

Champagne and OJ 

I definitely love this one. We are both beer lovers.

Here are some cute and 'random' favors:

You can find a ton of super cute and customizable already made favors from Etsy. This option will save you a ton of time and stress, but can also be very pricy.

If you're like me and on a tight budget, here are some more ideas:

You could also change the label 'Love is Sweet'

I've also seen others who make a donation to their favorite charity in the guest's name. An option could be to choose 2 or 3 of your favorite charities, give guests a 'kiss or hugs' candy when they sign in, then they can choose which charity they'd like you to donate to on their behalf. 

These photos were taken from a friend's wedding :) She is super crafty and creative!! 

What are/were your wedding favors? Any advice/tips for me on favors? I'd love some advice!! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Wednesday Wedding Inspiration: Bridal Gowns

Hey there and Happy Wednesday to you! 

For those of you who have been following me for awhile, you know that I got engaged last year. My fiance and I had put wedding planning on hold because we also bought our first home back in May. We have finally set a date for June 29, 2014. That is only 7 months away!!! I get freaked out everytime I think about all the planning I have to do, so to help myself stay on top of the ball and help any of you who are also planning a wedding (or just love anything to do with weddings) I am going to start a weekly blog series. Each Wednesday (I will try my best) I will post some wedding inspiration links/photos that I have found while surfing the web and pinterest.

This week I will be posting some inspiration photos of Bridal Gowns!! 

This was by far probably my favorite part of the wedding planning process. I was that little girl who always dreamt of my wedding and the gown I would wear. Here are some of my dream dress photos:

Absolutely love the bling and detailing of this dress!

This veil is stunning!

I'm sure you can basically figure out the style I love. Big princess ball gown dresses with lots of BLING! 
I can officially say that my wedding dress is paid for and has been ordered. All I can say is that I shocked myself with the dress that I chose to buy. After my wedding passes, I will be sure to post some photos of the dress I chose and tell the story behind it. (I just don't want to share just in case the hubby decides to read this post ;)
 Check out my pinterest for a ton of wedding dress pins!

The Knot also has about a couple thousand photos of beautiful wedding gowns in all different styles!
If you are planning a wedding, make sure to download The Knot wedding app! It is totally amazing and the only thing keeping me semi-on track with planning my wedding!

What is/was your dream wedding dress like?

Stay tuned next week for ideas on creative favors!
