We all know that weddings are supposed to reflect the unique style of the bride and groom, but thoughts on this matter tend to diverge when it comes to food.

If a bride and groom are vegan or vegetarian, should they host a reception that strictly follows their own eating habits? Would you like to see other options on the menu, or would that strike you as a betrayal of their principles? Should vegan couples make allowances for their guests’ tastes, or should they stay true to their beliefs?

Do vegan weddings make you want to rant or rave?

This past weekend was all about weddings! I went to a wedding on Friday, a wedding fair on Sunday and did a lot of wedding to-do’s in between. Needless to say it was a busy weekend filled with a lot of unique ideas that I’m so excited to share with you!

One thing that seems to be “in” right now is having guests write their wishes for the newly married couple on matching wedding stationery. Pens were left on the sign-in table with blank cards and a beautiful glass vase to put them in. The potential photo of a gorgeous glass vase filled with loving wishes is reason enough to do this at your wedding. But the wish cards can also be later saved and placed in an album with the rest of your wedding keepsakes.

This place card would work great as a wish card. It’s simple, pretty and you can choose one to match your wedding colors. It can also be created with or without any wording.

This wedding used stationery throughout the reception which really helped to pull a consistent modern look together. The couple used escort cards with place names, and menu cards to let guests know what to expect.

All in all, I thought they were both successful events. The bride and groom looked elated and I got a lot of great ideas that I may even use for my own wedding. Look for an upcoming blog on the second event! I got some really pretty photos and more unique ideas.
