Wedding Flowers: Baby’s Breath is Back!

Not too long ago baby’s breath was rarely used at weddings!  It had become such an overly used wedding flower that for many years brides wanted nothing to do with it.  Now with the explosion of vintage inspired weddings, baby’s breath has become the new chic wedding flower.  With it’s fluffy consistency and small white dainty flowers it screams vintage!

However the style and way in which baby’s breath is being used has evolved over the years.  Brides are opting to use only baby’s breath to give a more monochromatic look.   In the past it was used to “fill in the gaps” in large arrangements or bouquets to make them appear fuller.  Now baby’s breath is center stage and shown off for it’s romantic and soft look.

Brides and bridesmaids are carrying bouquets of all baby’s breath.  Look how vintage and stunning this one flower can look?

 

Using baby’s breath for your ceremony and reception arrangements makes a dramatic look.  Since baby’s breath is a fairly inexpensive flower you can usually make very large table arrangements that cost less than half the price if you were using other more expensive flowers.

Take a look at this easy DIY pew ends for your ceremony using baby’s breath.  Anyone can make this stunning pew end, even the non-crafty brides!

 I love the idea of wearing baby’s breath in your hair!  It looks beautiful as a halo for the flowergirl but also looks so romantic as a halo made for the bride!

Wedding Decor: Vintage Birdcages!

Birdcages are not just being used as gift card holders anymore!  With the popularity of vintage themed weddings, birdcages are being used in so many different ways to decorate ceremony and reception spaces.  If you are having a rustic or vintage themed wedding you can use birdcages for an easy and inexpensive DIY decor element.

A great way to incorporate birdcages is to use them as the centerpieces for the tables at your reception!  Vintage birdcages are beautiful by themselves and with candles or flowers they become stunning centerpieces.

You can find small birdcages to use as pew ends or even use them as place cards at every place setting.

Or find a large birdcage to hang and display place cards!  Some brides are also using it as a “wishing well” where guests can leave them their well wishes!

One of the most beautiful ways I have seen birdcages used is to hang them from a tree or tent.  You can even put candles in the birdcages and use them as romantic lighting.  Just stunning!

And if you want to go all out with the bird cage theme why not have a bird cage wedding cake?
