Okay so pretty much everything about Brooke and Thor's Alabama wedding was genius -- but I'm especially into their wedding invitations. The bright colors mixed with the concert poster-style format make a seriously eye-catching combination. > Get more

Nancy and Heyward showed school pride in a subtle, fashionable way on their wedding day in Lexington, VA. From afar, Heyward's bowtie (from Vineyard Vines ) fits right in with his formal look, but up close, you can tell it's covered in the couple's school's

How cute are these bridesmaid dress, ring and flower cookies from The Flour Pot? Even better, they come wrapped with tags with the words, Will you be my bridesmaid? (or maid of honor, ring bearer or flower girl) written on them. The bakery is happy to

And why not? You don't have to stand in the middle of a field of sunflowers to have awesome engagement photos. A convenience store makes for a colorful backdrop with plenty of prop material too! Speaking of getting engaged... how did he put a ring on

I just had to share this amazing bouquet we featured on The Knot Live earlier today. You see those purple things? They're artichokes! Besides being tasty in salads, they look amazing in bouquets, especially when there's spiky thistle, jade roses, and

Who didn't grab dandelions by the fistful, blow their petals and make a wish as a kid? I love how Lia and Mike in Geyserville, CA, worked in some nostalgia with their wedding stationery. Photos: Deborah Laver Event planning: Robbin Montero, A Dream Weddin

Updos are always a popular wedding day hairstyle but if it can be hard to make an updo look casual without tousling it a bit. Adding a few small braids (or in this case, Florida bride Annie asked for fishtail braids) is so fresh. Love it! > See 150+

So cute, right? Bright pink, red, and blue shoes beneath an all-white dress are pretty, but these patterned pumps really pop. They're from Anne and Shane's wedding in North Carolina (just added to the site today). Anne wore a long traditional ivory wedding

You can't compare apples to oranges -- or either one to these surprising centerpieces. On the left: chili peppers, a fitting choice for a Mexican fiesta. On the right: split peas. Even if you won't eat 'em, they'll make your guests eat their hearts out.

I can't get this dress out of my mind! Jennifer, whose wedding was in Naples, Florida (see all their wedding photos here ) wore a one-shoulder Vera Wang dress accented with organza cabbage roses. And what I love most is that it's a couture design, but

If a classic bouquet feels a little stiff to you, try a finger cuff with flowing flowers. We love this cascade of cattleya orchids from Diann Valentine, wedding planner and host of Wedding Day, which premieres on Tuesday, June 16th, at 8 p.m. on TNT.

I bet you're saying the same thing I am: "Why didn't I think of that?" The couple's photographer took Polaroids of the bride and groom separately, then put the pictures next to each other by the bridesmaid bouquets on a reception table. Adorable and simple.

Really cute idea -- get (or make!) your escort cards on simple cardstock paper and then add vintage pins to each one for a real unique pop of color at your reception. Photo: Q Weddings > See more creative escort card photos

We love this idea from Community Knottie BUTTAFLAI: Personalized cards for the wedding party with a timeline of where they need to be and what they need to be doing (kinda like a cheat sheet!). Each activity has an icon, like a hairdryer for when the

Love this wedding! She's got her black sash and lace dress, he's in his formal tux -- and the reception is sort of the perfect mix of elegant and modern details. Red rose centerpieces (usually saved for the more classic, traditional spaces) look completely

Couple reasons I love this idea: it's fun and different, cheap (!), makes for cute photos (especially with those green floral pomanders attached to the handlebars), and on the environmentally green scale, it's beats the heck out of a stretch Hummer. Photo:

You don't have to love sock monkeys (even though I do!) to love this idea: Get a book of photos of your favorite thing -- birds, baseball, beer, whatever! -- and tell guests to write messages in that. Don't forget a sign and some markers! Photo: Marie

Decorating your chairs adds so much color to your reception space, but if you're not into the whole giant-bow-on-each-chair-back thing, try this trick from Allison and Breck's Ketchum, ID, wedding : Weave fabric around chair backs' spindles. >See more
