{Summer} Wedding Crush

Over the past few weeks I've received quite a few emails from local brides asking my favorite design and decor ideas for a Summer wedding, so I thought I'd put a handful together and share a few of my faves :)  Let's start with... 

Above-The-Knee Reception Dress
If you're a modern bride that wants to change into attire that is a bit more comfy & relaxed during your wedding reception, a posh dress like this one from BHLDN is both sophisticated and casually elegant.
  source    Woven Chair Treatments
Chair sashes just got a whole lot cooler. Forget the traditional wraps and go for something that brings a unique visual flair.

source
 
Wrapped Flatware
I'm loving this one. Grab some twine and your hot glue gun to bring some handmade detail to your dinner flatware.  It can really make a difference.

source
 
Vintage Handkerchiefs
Such a cute idea! Mismatched handkerchiefs.

source
 
Floral Excess
Freaking amazing! If you're looking to make a statement, a wall completely decorated with flowers will do just fine.

source
 
Snow Cone Bar
There's no doubt it's hot in Austin, so why not cool things down with a simple snow cone bar!  Guest of all ages will love it.

source
 
Metallic Wedding Cakes
Classy and visually stunning. Look for metallic themes to become more popular as the year goes by.

source
 
Pearls
Pearls and dresses go together like.. well.. pearls and dresses :)

I hope some of these ideas help inspire you to make your wedding as beautiful as you are!
