Trend: Alternative Aisle Runners

Seen on Occasions Niagra
Who says you have to use a basic white aisle runner...not me...
There are so many options these days whether it's going to Jo Ann Fabrics or the Fabric District and creating your own.
As seen on Luna Photo
You could bring in your theme and really make an impact when you take that walk towards your husband-to-be. The damask runner above can be purchased from the Original Runner Co.
You could even go green with recycled wood doors like the wedding above at Marvimon
This wedding above took place at Marvimon's sister property, Smog Shoppe, and the bride may look like she's walking on a cloud and that's because the aisle runner is made of faux fur. Love it.
 You could even walk on a bed of roses like Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, who's Wedding Planner, Mindy Weiss, got the aisle runner from the Original Runner Co.
You could also go with a solid color and adorn with rose petals to create a one of a kind design. The sky's the limit really.

Fabulous Find: Blue Magpie Invitations


I was recently introduced to Jeannine, owner and artist behind Blue Magpie Invitations by Suthi of Picotte Weddings, Inc. to collaborate on a design shoot. 
I was blown away when I looked at her work on her site, I mean wow.
Not only is she a fab graphic designer, but is a wiz with a sewing machine creating custom folders and pockets for all of her custom creations. 
Each invitation is truly a work of art, I'd never want to thrown mine away if I got one. 
And each invite has a custom band or ribbon tied around it to finish it off with just the right touch.
Whether it's an elegant and tropical faire or...
a good hometown BBQ at a ranch...
to a modern affair
chinese new year
or the Viceroy in Palm Springs...
there's an invitation that will truly make guest want to see more
Her attention to detail is impecable
and her style is universal. 
plus she even has these cute cards for Save the Date's, Thank You, Congratulations and more.
There's a style for every wedding, if you dream it, it will become a reality.
