Ten Creative Food Stations

Do you want to make your wedding unique?  One way to leave a lasting impression on your guests is with your reception food.   Having fun and creative food stations is a great way to make your wedding stand out.  When deciding on a food station try to think outside of the box.  Think about your favorite foods and how you can create a station that will be interactive and fun for your guests.  Here are some of our favorite food stations that you won’t see at every wedding!

Grits Bar

One of my favorite food stations for a southern wedding is a grits bar! Have guests add their favorite toppings like bacon, peppers, onions and cheese.

Biscuit Bar

Another creative food bar for a southern wedding is a biscuit bar.  Include assorted jams, jellies, and butters. Who doesn’t love warm biscuits? Yum!

Nacho Bar

If you want something lighter than tacos try a nacho bar!

Popcorn Bar

A popcorn bar stocked with different types of popcorn makes a great station and can even double as a favor for guests.  Include candies, peanuts and chocolates to eat with the popcorn for a perfect treat!

Wedding Gown Trends 2013: Goodbye Lace, Hello Tulle

For 2013, lace dresses are actually taking a backseat to tulle!  Can you believe it?  It took me a while to warm up to the idea that tulle was back in a big way but after seeing some of these amazing wedding dresses it completely changed my mind.

If you are like me, when you think of tulle wedding gowns you think of a tulle skirt that resembles a princess.  Those grand ballgown tulle dresses are still out there but updated in a new way.  Tulle is made in to ruffles, draped in layers and even made to look like flowers.

For a twist on the traditional tulle ballgown take a look at this ombre tulle wedding gown!

If ballgowns aren’t your favorite type of gown there are plenty of tulle gowns now that are A-line or even fitted skirts.  Tulle is loved for its sheer and feminine quality and some designers are playing up the sheer fabric for a sexy modern look.

Top Wedding Flowers 2013

According to WeddingWire.com there are ten flowers that will be on trend in 2013.  Before going to meet with your florist it is always good to have an idea of flowers you like and maybe more importantly what you don’t like.  I suggest looking in magazines and on-line and saving as many pictures of bouquets and centerpieces.  Many brides find that after saving the images they like, they see many of the same flowers in each of the pictures.  Whether you like lush and large arrangements or modern and simplistic you will probably see some of the flowers and plants you love in this list!
