So much work and anticipation leads up to that moment when a bride takes her first steps down the aisle. As one of the most important walks a woman takes in her life, it should be as beautiful as possible.

From glowing candles to a dusting of flower petals to floral seating accents, there are many ways to enhance the scene to reflect your personality. Read on to see show-stopping designs from our Real BB Weddings.

Wedding Inspiration for the Modern Bride

by

The modern bride is not one for tradition. Her personal style is described as fashion-forward, chic, with a bit of an edge. She will choose clean and simple over lace and sparkle any day. From décor to the gown, hair, and jewelry, she keeps to a minimalist aesthetic with a surprising detail, like sculptural floral arrangements, a statement silver bridal cuff, or peek-a-boo slit.

We love when a bride walks into our showroom and says that she wants her wedding to have a modern look and feel. Subtle, yet bold, the style makes a memorable impression. Here are some favorite looks from our real BB weddings to inspire the modern bride.

Unique Wedding Card Table Ideas to Welcome Your Guests

by

When it comes time to start thinking about wedding flowers, your mind goes straight to the obvious – bridal bouquet, table centerpieces, and the ceremony arch and chuppah. One décor feature that doesn’t immediately seem important is the card table. Give it a little more thought though. The table is a key feature because it welcomes guests, and every one of them will notice the display as they pick up the escort cards directing them to their seats.

Couples can use the card table to make a statement, expressing their unique interests, style, personality, and wedding theme. From extravagant and grand to intimate and understated, here are card tables from our real BB weddings to use for inspiration.

Adorable and Stylish Ways to Include Your Dog in Your Wedding

by

He’s always there when you need him. He’s the only one who can make you smile after a bad day. He’s always up for an evening of Netflix and cuddling on the sofa. We aren’t talking about your fiancé. The number one man in your life is your dog.

Now, more than ever, brides are including their beloved furry friend in their wedding. They are family, after all! Dogs are dressing for the occasion, hanging out with the bridesmaids and groomsmen, wagging their tail down the aisle, and partying with guests well into the night.

There is no denying that these four-legged companions add a welcome dose of cuteness and humor to the ceremony and reception. Are you thinking about having your dog be a part of your big day? Here are some adorable and stylish ideas from our real BB weddings for inspiration.

Unfortunately, The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art doesn’t have a “rent program” set up right now. You’re not giving up though and will do everything possible to have a wedding that evokes the look and feel of an earlier era.
