How fun are these mustache-on-a-stick wedding favors?! Okay, so it's not for everyone, but for the right couple with a we're-not-taking-our-wedding-too-seriously attitude, it's perfect! Oh btw, if you're looking for them, I found similar mustache wedding

We just added this wedding to the site yesterday -- it's Georgina and Tripp from Fort Worth, Texas (as featured in our The Knot Texas magazine). All the details are jaw-dropping and over-the-top, but this photo caught my eye. I love the way the dance

Bold patterns are more striking when there are plain tiers to break them up. Go this route and your cake will cost less. If your baker doesn't have to do much design work, he'll reward you with a lower charge. Left photo by Danny Weiss . Cake by Cakes

Gorgeous, right? A simple ribbon wrapped around the stems of your bouquet will work, but as you can see from the bouquets above (all done by the talented Jordan Payne from Jordan Payne Events ), add a vintage brooch, a couple pearl-studded pins, or a

It seems to me that you're either the wedding veil-wearing type, or you're not. I fall into the latter category, but I really like this fabric flower and netted poof combo -- very modern and fresh! Photo: Leo Patrone Photography > See more wedding

No need to rent furniture when you have haystacks! Just drape colorful fabric over the top of each stack and add graphic pillows, like Heather and Thomas did for their East Sandwich, MA, home wedding. Hanging lanterns help too -- they'll encourage guests

I know, I know -- the words "baby's breath" bring back visions of the past you'd rather forget (my 8th grade dance corsage, for instance). But I'm telling you, a bundle of baby's breath in a bouquet or a centerpiece is effortlessly elegant. I'm sensing

Pretty, right? It could just be me, but lately, I've been noticing a ton of blue bridesmaid dresses -- navy for a formal wedding , light blue accented with bright colored accents (like red), or in a pretty playful pattern . > Check out photos of bridesmaid

I admit it -- at my wedding, guests found their seat assignments from simple tented cards lined up on a plain table. If you want something a little more surprising, take your cue from Martha and Stephen in Alexandria, VA: They wedged their cards into

Table numbers are an often-overlooked detail of the wedding reception -- but consider them a perfect opportunity to get creative! Darcie and Andrew from Boulder, Colorado did. They used Mexican Loteria game cards as table names and escort cards at their

Some seats need a little extra oomph, but when a chair sash won't cut it, consider hanging your monogram on the backs. Hang a B for bride and a G for groom to make your seats stand out at the reception, or put your new initial on every other chair along

A great idea for your cocktail tables (instead of using one of those dinky votive candles), or for the couple with a minimalist wedding style -- a single red tulip looks stunning inside a simple blue glass vase like this one. Photo: Scott and Tem Photography
