I came across this post on Etsy and had to share. How much fun is this theme for a wedding. That is one event I would love to go to for sure! From a custom illustrated invite gifted by a friend to the orchard inspired centerpieces, this wedding was packed with DIY goodness and indie flair.

The venue, Camrose Hill Farm, in Minnesota is simply gorgeous. Mother Earth surrounded these two awesome lovebirds and gave them a wedding they would never forget. They chose the eco-friendly route every chance they got and even had games to play. What fun!

The bride’s wedding ring was unique as ever and her custom dress was simply gorgeous.  How can you not love their dessert spread filled with candy favorites and an ice cream man.

Husband and wife, Meg and Thomas Suszynski, are great examples of staying true to who you are on the big day. I hope you all have a big smile on your faces when you look at these photos like I did. They made me so happy. Just a little reminder to not let the stress of planning a wedding get to you. Have fun, be yourself and enjoy every minute of it!

There are a lot of different themes for a wedding. Most of the time natural elements are a part of the decor. Whether you want a romantic feel or more fun, flowers and plants usually play a big part in the overall concept. Although its always nice to be surrounded by lush flowers, I prefer to have a more Earthly feel to my special day. Plus, if you are planning an eco-friendly event, picking flowers that will eventually wilt and die is far from that concept.

So for all you brides out there that truly want an organic themed wedding, here are some great inspirations that might help you. Free, alive, wild and fresh is what I am going for here. Picture being in a garden full of herbs, wild weeds and plants galore. That is where I want to be. If you want a little of both, that is cool too.

It’s All in the Details

When creating a successful wedding, it all comes down to the details. Even a large event such as a wedding relies on a theme, palette and unique decor that tie into the chosen scheme with ease. You don’t want to overdo it just as much as not doing enough, which can easily happen with a small budget. Knowing what you want is a start. Being able to put it all together is what will make or break the overall design.

I feel the biggest problem most people have is seeing the bigger picture. Some can have a great idea but not a strong enough vision to pull it together or even see the end result . Getting help shouldn’t be hard. That’s what designers are for. But sometimes, if you can combine fun items you like, those details that are so important come alive. Then being able to cross the finish line and look back at an amazing event is priceless.

Here are some fun party items for all events that I hope inspire you to create the party, gathering or wedding of your dreams. Remember to relax, be open minded and stay true to who you are. This is the fun part!

Martha Stewart Weddings is a top place to go for inspiration and ideas for weddings and events. All you artsy, crafty, DIYers out there – you know whats up. The Winter 2012 edition shared a lot of great tips and ideas, one of which I thought was really cool. Using wallpaper for your decor. How cool is that? Especially, when there are so many different types out there to choose from. Hope these bring you some inspiration!

{Using wallpaper for your runner, backdrop and chair
covers can add a touch of style}

{Create envelopes with ease}

{Use graphic patterns for table decor}

{Choose a pattern you can work with and get creative}

{Create decorative favors or items you want to
include in your decor}

{Pick a pattern or style that matches your theme
and create a photo area for your guests}
