Can't decide on a paper stock? Bet you didn't think of this one! Hand painting on custom cut glass. Coordinate your escort cards, signage, and invitations (keep in mind packaging needs). It's all another great way to carry your color palette and design

I so wish I could insert myself into this picture! I love this New Year's Eve wedding with a confetti and firework blast at the stroke of midnight. If you're newly engaged and love to throw a party, consider December 31st for your ultimate celebration.

Don't feel like the formality of a rehearsal dinner? Go with a fun and laid back rehearsal barbecue. Kesley and Robby more than impressed their guests with this unique food display of the locally grown corn. Have fun with the kitschy style and personalize

Looking for one last way to squeeze in some glam to your wedding day? Make your reception exit just as fabulous as a city-wide parade with a ticker tape confetti exit. Not only will you feel like you're in an old Hollywood movie, but this also gives your

Check out this wedding we just added to the site! Very cute to add ornaments to your centerpieces and to pick a non-traditional color palette for a holiday-inspired wedding. > See the rest of Jen and Steve's wedding on theknot.com. > Have some time

Wish I had been invited to Stephanie and Austin's West Virginia destination wedding ... Instead of worrying about seeing each other before the ceremony, they kicked tradition to the wind and threw a morning-of croquet tournament at their hotel. Guests

I'll admit it, when just-married Lauren sent her puppet show wedding video to me this weekend, I dropped what I was doing and watched it immediately. Such a genius idea. Kinda obsessed. (Click the screen grab above to watch!) From Lauren: "My husband

Love this idea from Morgan and Stefan in Wyoming: have your bouquet wrapped with lace from your grandmother's wedding dress. Pieces from an heirloom wedding veil would work too! > Get more wedding bouquet wrap ideas ! > See our favorite wedding

An easy (and not cheesy!) way to perk up a simple wedding invitation envelope -- get custom black-and-white silhouette stamps. Then thread the motif throughout all your wedding day details. > Like the silhouette motif idea? Make your own DIY wedding

Definitely my new fave trend - incorporating maps into your wedding style. This NYC couple dressed up their favor boxes with transit map wrapping paper (don't even get me started on how obsessed I am with the subway!). Note it is also personalized with

If a ring pillow doesn't do it for you, follow this literature-lover's lead and tie the rings to an old book instead. This particular one belonged to the bride's grandfather (so you've got something old and borrowed, and in this case, blue, too!) See

So you know how every couple whose wedding you went to this year displayed pictures of their parents on their wedding days? Here's a fresher take on that: If your and your fiance's parents held onto their wedding cake toppers, use 'em both in your dessert

How fun is this? Instead of straw fans or fabric parosols, this couple left a straw hat on each ceremony chair for guests to cool off and block out the sun. I just did a quick search and found them fairly cheap on OrientalTrading.com (check them out here

So sweet and chic isn't it?! This couple totally impressed me with the use of doilies to jazz up their escort card display. Plus, your FI will be happy with the low-cost expense! Photo: Jasmine Star Photography ( Jasmine-Star.com ) > Check out the

One of the best ways to throw a completely unique wedding is to find a space that speaks for itself. The wedding above took place at 632 On Hudson in Manhattan ( 632OnHudson.com ), which I actually happened to tour a couple weeks ago -- the place is jaw-droppingly

As much as I love butterflies, some cakes that are covered in them miss the mark. This one stands out because the faux insects change color gradually and beautifully frame a simple, but not plain, cake. >Find the wedding cake of your dreams! Photo:

Virginia bride Amanda spruced up these tossing cones (her flower girls carried them down the aisle!) with vintage stamps to go along with her travel theme. Now that's a DIY project you have time for! >Have brilliant DIY ideas? Need some? Chat with

I love this idea: Instead of crazy disco balls, this couple lit up the dance floor by projecting music videos -- a nice complement to a great mix of dance music. Photo: Our Labor of Love ( OurBlogofLove.com )

I'm obsessed with food and the idea of using it as part of your table decor gets an A+ from me. To up the ante, this couple also paired seed packets as the table names. Other tables included fresh cauliflower and heirloom tomatoes. As Anja likes to say,

Jessica and Jason set up a table at the reception dedicated just to their dads. The chalkboard with the frame reads, "Here's to the Dads!! Have a shot, or have a smoke, and raise your glass to the two blokes!" Photo: Davina + Daniel Photography ( DavinaPlusDaniel.com
