My favorite thing about wedding trends: Give them one fresh spin and they're new again. Black-and-white (and even brown-and-white!) damask prints were everywhere last year. It feels so original in pink. Photos: Laura Novak Photography

Forget lining the aisle with petals, this couple (who we also happen to be featuring in our Southern California magazine) went the creative route with intersecting circular designs. Lovin it. > Get more ceremony decor ideas Photo: Erin Hearts Cour

Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you: These are real roses. Dina and Josh in Long Island, NY, went with a rainbow theme for their wedding, and these flowers, which were injected with dyes, fit right in! Word of caution: Don't wear a busy dress with

Here's my feeling on sugar flowers: They're way more fun if you have a pro create ones that even nature couldn't dream up. These faux daisies were the perfect accents to this flirty cake we featured on our show. Photo: Hayley Schlesinger Cake: Elizabeth

I'm loving this family and friend wedding photo wall -- a great new take on the family wedding photo table idea. The red paper on the left says "Today We Celebrate Love and Marriage" and the paper on the right says, "Coming Soon" with photos of their

There are tons of DIY wedding ideas out there for the outdoor-backyard-rustic style wedding. But here's a DIY wedding idea for a more formal wedding -- use oversized faux crystals as a wedding motif and thread them throughout the day like Brianna and

The bride ( Kristen ) and her wedding planner ( Sasha Souza ) created this ridiculously creative photo booth. They covered a large piece of wood with wallpaper and then added framed family photos. It's so cute, I can't even stand it. > See more creative

These make such a statement, right? And no one will have to guess what's in the signature drinks! Grapevine Paperie's Karen Bartolomei, stationer extraordinaire and author of Paperie for Inspired Living (it just hit stores yesterday!), created these for

A nice alternative to the all paper-lantern idea, do what Emarie and Nick did for their outdoor California wedding and add strands of tissue paper poms over the dance floor. PS - The bride happens to be a wedding planner from A Savvy Event , which may

Two ideas here: 1. Decorate clothespins with strips of ribbon, use letter stamps to spell out your and your groom's names, attach the clothespins to a cool background (this papier-mache sheet music and flowers one is right up my alley!) and use it as

I friggin love this idea. The little one is too small to handle a flower girl basket, and the other is too old to think that scattering flowers is fun -- so this couple solved the problem with a wagon and a cute "here comes the bride sign" -- wa-la! >

A great idea for those guests not interested in the bar -- have your waiters pass soda bottles fashioned with colorful straws around the cocktail hour. You could also do this with old-fashioned cream soda and root beer too! > Get more cocktail hour

If I weren't so obsessed with purple , I probably would have went with black and yellow for my wedding palette. It's timeless like black and white, but so cheery too. How cool are the filigree cupcake liners on the left? And on the right we have a zinnia,

It's summer, and photos from beach weddings are piling up on my desk. My favorite so far: Molly and Rowan's in Santa Monica. They used seashells in such smart ways using -- holding the escort cards and creating the table numbers -- and their dainty gold

I've become a little fixated on creative engagement photo backdrops lately. So when I saw this one taken by the talented Megan W Photography in Indianapolis, I just had to share. Not only is the setting perfectly vintage and cute, but it also gives her

I'm feeling a little patriotic as Independence Day looms, so I wanted to share this awesome 4th of July wedding. Yes, there was a red, white and blue color scheme, but I'm a big fan of Kelsey and Jamie's summery ferris-wheel-and-fireworks motif. And they
