We loved creating custom stationery elements for this gorgeous BRIK wedding- spring colors, soft watercolor florals and calligraphy were the perfect design elements.
We could go on and on about Rachel and William's stunning industrial romance inspired wedding. BRIK played the most perfect part of a blank slate venue for this vibrant couple to showcase their style! Soft pink envelopes with hand calligraphy addressing were beautifully paired with deckled handmade paper and delicate watercolor florals. Custom gold wax seals on the escort cards were displayed on a gorgeous escort card wall with natural brick and vine elements lending an air of summer romance. Every soft and delicate detail of this wedding completely took out breath away! Thank you to Stephanie Brazzle, Query Events, and Brik.

Destination settings are a unique way to celebrate your big day, and there are many tips to keep in mind then will help you get through the planning process as smoothly as possible. Whether looking for a location that is romantic, scenic, cultural or in the city, itβs important to make sure everything falls into place for you and your guests to get the most out of the experience. City locations, in particular, offer many opportunities for venues, dining, receptions, pre- and post-wedding celebrations. We recommend adding a welcome note with a list of your favorite attractions or fun things to do in the city. This note can either be placed in your the hotel room when your guests arrive or even listed on your wedding website for their convenience. If you choose to add to their room, consider making a welcome bag for your guests! These include the welcome note with local attractions with a few items, such as Advil, bottles of water, snacks, and goodies. Adding a personal touch to the weekend will not go unnoticed!
Las Vegas is known as the wedding capital of the world, an easy choice for couples looking for a location full of life, bright lights and a ton of options for dining, accommodations and things to do. Vegas is also a perfect example of a city that holds a plethora of unique venues, perfect for saying βI Do!β The Red Rock Canyon holds beautiful views for miles and will definitely make for some gorgeous photos, but thereβs also the Springs Preserve, Mount Charleston, Lake Mead or the Spring Mountain Ranch for those looking to be surrounded by natureβs beauty. Research your options by checking out Vegas.com and their list of romantic Vegas wedding locations.
One of the best things about locations like Vegas is the weather! You can really plan your wedding for any time of the year. Just make sure youβre conscious of weather fluctuations if youβre planning an outdoor ceremony. Once you choose a date, outline a planning timeline and make sure to send out your save-the-dates and invitations plenty in advance for your guests to make travel plans.
Choosing a location, a venue and a date are three of the most important things to check off your list when planning a destination wedding. Once you have that completed, look into modes of transportation for getting to and from your venue and reception. Pick a place for you and your new spouse to stay, and block off rooms for everyone planning to come. Exploring different air and hotel deals, such as these to Vegas, is a great way to cut down on costs and simplify planning for your guests.
Big cities are packed with ways to celebrate before and after your wedding. From spa days with your bridesmaids beforehand to nightlife with your entire wedding party afterwards, look into spas, shopping, clubs, dining and attractions that can help you make the most of your stay at your dream destination.(photo courtesy of the Welcome Box)
Vegas is a great place to celebrate - we hope these tips help you plan and enjoy your Vegas wedding!
The mountains are calling to us! We took this styled shoot out to Colorado for gorgeous views and even more gorgeous blooms. Lush and unruly florals were showcased in a beautiful bridal bouquet along with an arrangement on a romantic sweetheart table. Our invitation suite incorporates clean white and grey color palette for a true breath of fresh mountain air. Vintage stamps and a floral print brought in pops of color, while hand drawn sketches perfectly mimicked the elements of the nature that were abundant in this shoot.

Wedding ceremony programs, simple as they may seem, are a very important part of the wedding day. Ceremony programs inform your guests not only of the order or the ceremony, but also other important details, such as the wedding party, honoring loved ones, and thanking you guests for being there. Here is the traditional outline of a wedding program, along with pointers on how you can customize the wording to fit you and your fiance's own personal style. And click here for a free download of programs from real weddings with sizes.
Let's start with the basics! The introduction will be the most straightforward part of your wedding program and should include the following information in order: the Bride's first and last name, the Groom's first and last name, month/day/year of the wedding, start time and the ceremony venue. This is basically a snippet of the information on your invitations.
This will likely be the most detailed portion of your wedding program, and will vary based on ceremony. For example, catholic weddings usually have a longer ceremony than a more contemporary ceremony. But regardless of religion, the order of ceremony usually outlines the processional, ceremony, and recessional for your guests. Again, there are many variations to this, but formally it looks something similar to the below. Your planner or officiant will know with the order of your ceremony.
Prelude: the music playing while guests are seated. Make sure to include the song title, composer, and musician playing the piece (if applicable)
Processional: the music playing while the grandparents, parents, groom, and wedding party proceed down the aisle
Bridal Processional: the music playing while the bride makes her grand entrance and proceeds down the aisle
Opening Greeting or Prayer by the officiant
Readings: if you choose to have readings during your ceremony, you will outline which passages will be read and who will be reading them (typically a family member or close friend)
Wedding Message: the officiant will often give a message honoring the couple
Exchange of the Vows: the exchanging of the vows and rings
Presentation: you and your fiance kiss, the officiant announces the couple as husband and wife, and the crowd cheers!
Recessional: the song playing as the newlyweds and bridal party walk back down the aisle
Feeling a little overwhelmed? No worries. Your planner or officiant will know with the order of your ceremony. Or you can choose to keep it super simple, similar to this:
Prelude
Seating and Processional
We get married!
Recessional
In this section, you will want to outline all the family and friends who participated in the ceremony, almost like a casting list of a broadway play! This should include:
Full title and name of your officiant
Parents of the bride
Parents of the groom
Grandparents of the bride
Grandparents of the groom
Maid/Matron of honor (you also have the option of including relation to bride- sister, cousin, or friend)
Bridesmaids (list in alphabetical order or standing order)
Best Man(same rules apply as maid of honor)
Groomsmen(list in alphabetical order or standing order)
Flower girls/Ring bearers
House Party
Ushers
You also have the option of adding the organist or ceremony musicians. And when in doubt, it is best to air on the side of formality when listing the names in your wedding program.
Here is where most couples will choose to include a thank you message to share their appreciation of attending the wedding. Example: Thank you so much for the love each and every one of you has shown us throughout our relationship. We are so grateful to have you in our lives and honored you have traveled near and far to be with us on this special day. We couldn't imagine our wedding without you! Final messages can also honor family members who have passed in loving memory. Example: On this special day, we honor those who are not with us today, but are forever in our hearts. or We remember those who cannot be with us today, but are present in spirit.
All programs are unique to every wedding. You can add fun facts about you and your fiancΓ©, fun facts about your venue, your wedding hashtag, your new address as married couple, or information about your reception following the ceremony. More program ideas can be found on our Pinterest page specifically for programs we've pinned to inspire and give you even more ideas!
We hope this helps you put together the perfect wedding program content!
