A Theme Runs Through It: Miss Meader's Event Motif Ingenuity

On the hunt for some seemingly simple decor that makes quite an impact?  
Look no further!  FRINGE!
Ashley Meader's styled shoot for Once Wed's Beyond the Big Day monthly column has inspired us once more, with a uncomplicated cohesive theme woven throughout the entire fabulous affair. 

Inspiring isn't it?

Don't you think these little details make an event that much more unique & outstanding?  We do... Of course we do.

Her incredible ideas have taken off - here's another example of pretty *fringe*.  What a great name...

We're already a little heart heavy that Friday will be the last day of this week of inspiration!  But alas, not for forever!

Thursday, what a fabulous day.  Enjoy it, friends

We know, we're gushing.

 BHLDN really hit the nail on the head.  There's decor and then there's creating-an-all-in-one-shop-that-rendered-the-last-trillion-days-scouring-the-web-futile.  They really have it all (almost) and if the appeal of DIYs in the home stretch doesn't make you squeal, shop away!

Chanel posted some of her delights, here are a few of my faves:

Good afternoon lovelies,

With everything from lighting, keepsakes, tabletop and stationary, the talented folk at BHLDN have made us swoon once again.

Cinco de Mayo!

On this 5th of May dedicated to the celebration of Mexican heritage & pride we thought we would showcase beautiful ways to bring cultural elements into wedding decor using the ever-so-charming art of papel picado!
If we could create a celebration custom for today (or any sunny, perfect evening) there would be delicious margaritas with ripe and luscious chunks of fruit, papel picado strands mingling with vintage lightbulb strands above & a mariachi band in traditional garb.  It would be splendid.

Isn't this art form lovely?

As you can see it's possible to have these perfect little flags personalized for your special day!  It's also an option to have small flags made.  Our favorite artist is Ay Mujer on the ever so brilliant Etsy.

Wouldn't it be a perfect keepsake to frame one flag capturing so many memories of a celebration in time and have it on display forevermore?
