24-carat style: this gold wedding decor is the real deal

If there’s one trend in home decor AND in weddings that I’m seriously digging, it’s gold details. I just… love gooooold. What, I can’t pull out a 14-year-old reference. Oh fine. At least we can all agree that Missy and Ryan’s gold and pink decor is seriously lovely and worthy of ogling while bathing in gold leaf. Or, you know, while just avoiding work at your desk. Let’s peek at their 24-carat-themed gold wedding decor.

Remember your guests’ travels with a push pin map guestbook

We aren’t talking about “pinning” in terms of Pinterest for once. We’re talking an actual push pin map guestbook. Brenna and Dennis had a nifty, thrifty idea for their guestbook: guests placed a pin on a map indicating from where they traveled. This ideas serves two purposes: find out who traveled the farthest, and have a visual keepsake of where all your guests live. Super fun times! Let’s hear from Brenna on the whole scheme.

This Roy Croft aisle runner brings poetry right to our feet

Kate and Marc wanted their wedding to be about their story and the things that bring them joy: downtown Portland, their kitties, board games, video games, wrestling (WWE!), and craft beer. They made a dash for a local bar that had tons of arcade games as well as gaming systems for some pictures and Mortal Kombat, and they announced their wedding party and themselves in full WWE inspired outfits. The wedding itself was killer, but we are SO digging one particular detail: their aisle runner that had Roy Croft’s poem, “Love” written all over it. Take a peek at that and a few more details from their sweet gamer wedding.

Lay down the easiest outdoor ceremony decor ever: RUGS!

Looking for an easy ceremony decor idea that you don’t have to craft yourself? Kimber and Kaylee opted to use a few cute little rugs to mark their ceremony spot and it looked ADORABLE. Plus, they were able to take the rugs home and be reminded of their ceremony every time they looked at them. Look for deals at thrift stores and places like Ikea.
