Happy 4th of July to all my wonderful readers! I hope this fun red, white, and blue inspiration board finds you enjoying your day with family and friends! Loving these colors together on such a patriotic day. They make for great wedding colors, don’t you think?

Have you noticed lately how creative couples are getting with their ceremony backdrops? Well, I have! Many couples are ditching the basic arbors and going for some more unique or sentimental choices. Here are a few fun ones I have come across!

Take a peek at the gorgeous makeup work from our vendor Lindsay Lu Styling and Makeup Artistry!

Today we have a wedding for you from the Chism House in Reno, Nevada. Can I just say how much I love the bright blue pops of color!?! I’ve always been a fan of blue. There is just something about that color. The deep blue shoes, pops of blue flowers and those linens all look great!

I came across this adorable DIY idea on A Practical Wedding! Now you’ve seen wedding signs all over pointing guests in directions to the ceremony, the reception, the photo booth, and anywhere else. But have you ever seen flour hearts? This DIY tutorial shows you how to make the colored flour, cut the heart template, and place them along a path for your guests to follow.

Mayberry Park is a fun hidden gem in Reno, Nevada. If you haven’t been there it is a great place for photos! Just take a look at these engagement photos from JLM Creative Photography! Loving the style! And if you are a baseball fan you are sure to love the photos at the Ace’s stadium. How fun!

Today we have a fun engagement slideshow from our wonderful vendor Johnstone Studios! I am loving these photos and really loving this song! How adorable is this couple and what a great keepsake this video will make for years to come.

Today we have a gorgeous engagement session in Davis, California from Lovely You Photography! Taken on private property, this bride incorporated some vintage furniture tying into the vintage theme they will have for their wedding at Empire Mine. Loving all the decor and fun details. Some great perks for using your own space for photos!
