Summer is officially here!  What would be more  exciting than to enjoy the beautiful weather and gorgeous Wisconsin scenery than having a Camp Wedding?

A Camp Wedding would allow you to creatively connect to nature.

How about spending your honeynoon in a teepee?

Or meet your groom at the ceremony by canoe?

For your cake, you could go for a rustic tree bark design!

For a softer feel, try opting for light pastel shades for bridesmaid dresses.

For personal flair, cute signs are always appreciated…

Cute cards and log books are also always interesting and add that eco friendly flair.

Lastly, for a truly rustic wedding, try going for a venue that offers exposed beams and open sides allowing you to be part of the natural setting!

Knock your socks off and get your feet in the sand!

Summer is just around the corner and what better way to escape the heat than throwing a gorgeous underground wedding!

Underground weddings have been around forever but are now gaining in popularity because they offer something for any type of wedding.

If you are going for a classy wedding, you can have it in an old wine cellar…

If you are bold you can hold you wedding in a cave with a lake….

Just look at the incredible photos you would be able to get with a lake cave! 

Or maybe you love the idea of a cave, but aren’t too thrilled about getting your dress wet…

Or maybe you want something completely different altogether. One option is a to have your wedding in a basement with skylights.

Whatever you choose, every wedding needs a great dinning area! Here are a few ideas to help you out…

Every wedding also needs some personal touches and what would be cooler than an underground boat if your space will allow it? 

Another cute personal touch is to give your guests either peices of the cave you are being married in or sample of the water.  

And what would a wedding be with out a cake?? For your underground wedding, why not go for a fabulous geode cake!

Wether you are going for classy… 

Bold..

Or water inspired…

So say “I Do” to these beautiful ideas!

{ 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!
