{ SHARK WEEK WEDDING }

Have you been excited for shark week?! Sometimes it just takes a little theme to get people excited! I don’t even watch anything on shark week, besides what I catch while walking through the living room when the hubs is relaxing, but I get hyped nonetheless! It just sounds fun…SHARK WEEK! Themes are fun in general no matter how literal or lightly influenced they make an event, it just helps you head in a direction that inspires you. So, in honor of exciting themes, I felt inspired to inspire you with some GREY + AQUARIUM “SHARK” styled weddings!

This would be a pretty fun SAVE the DATE! Shark style!😉 Giving your guests a hint of the fun to come!

Here’s a beautiful shark-grey invite

A ceremony in an aquarium…this looks kind of awesome and unique! LOVE this!

You can even have little shark flower petal decor in your accent floral color…it’s all in the details!🙂

Love the grey + navy combo…it feels very sharkish!🙂

Love this mixture of shark-like-greys for bridesmaids

How great is decor…love the branches and flow of the decorations! To make it more sea like…add in some sea glass, star fish, shells, could be simply AWESOME!

AND then set it  ^^^ all up in this location! AAAA-MAZING! I want to be there NOW!

To add a little flare to your bar setup in the above aquarium! You could do something with an old net and barrels like this! Would add to the theme for sure!

For a fun ocean like drink…choose something blue and refreshing like an aqua velva! Have you had one of these before?! If not…do it! 1oz vodka, 1oz gin, 1oz blue curacao, and sprite….it’s delightful!🙂

Grey cake…ummm yes! AND how pretty is this thang?!

Or this one?!

For added entertainment…a shark ice sculpture or drink louge!

AND your guest will love this…it’s a fact!

Now get back to your shark week watching! Hope you enjoyed! Have a happy Friday all!

Okay…so came across this ^^^ ABOVE photo and couldn’t help but laugh! These days it might be rare to jump in your own vehicle after your wedding and cruise to your honeymoon or even your reception for that matter. Most of us are jumping into limos, party buses, trolleys, etc. with our wedding parties! Regardless of what mode of transportation you jump on after you say I do…don’t forget to deck it out! It can be as simple as a sign, painted tin cans, or some balloons. The small touches remind you that the day is special and out of the norm, plus it’s just an old fashion tradition and you know yours truly might just love a tradition way too much for her own darn good!🙂  SO…here are some cute ideas to deck your boat, carriage, golf cart, motorcycle, bicycle, bus, trolley…whatever the heck you’re riding!🙂

Starting out with painting cans! how cute are these black and white ones!

{ 25 FIRST LOOKS that just might inspire YOU to do a FIRST LOOK }

First look photos! I think people may be bias one way or another…but regardless whether that first look be walking down the isle or a personal before ceremony moment; the faces and emotions during that FIRST LOOK can be sentimental and emotional moments in time that you’ll be so happy to have captured. One of the reasons first looks can be more convenient is that you can get photos in before your ceremony and have personal moments before the big ceremony takes place! If you are a bride who prefers the walk down the isle, these could be also great ideas to surprise you mother, father, girlfriends! Do what is personal and feels right for you! BUT here are 25 FIRST LOOK moments that will truly inspire your emotions!

I think when planning weddings we are so overwhelmed by the amount of “things” to decorate…ourselves, our wedding parties, our cakes, our reception halls, the cocktail hour.
