To round out the week and wrap up the Chinese New Year themed posts, I wanted to share a beautiful wedding photo featuring the famous dragon dance tradition. After all, it is the year of the dragon, which is considered the luckiest sign of the Chinese zodiac, making it a very auspicious time for weddings! Wishing everyone lots of love, luck, and laughter this fortunate year!
Here’s a sweet idea… use a pretty white mailbox for guests to leave wedding cards and good wishes for the newlyweds in! How quaint!
Horses and all the distinctive icons associated with them, from bits to lucky shoes, provide loads of inspiration for Fall weddings and all the surrounding festivities.

Love Birds make the perfect motif for an engagement party, shower, or wedding. Take a look at this wide range of charming ways to incorporate the theme into your affair:
Birdcage Placecard Holders and Love Bird Coasters, Navy & Lavender; Love Bird Banner Invitations, Tallu-lah; Floating Flock Dress, Bhldn; Bird Madison Candle, Fringe
Vintage weddings are all the rage right now and these antique windows transformed into seating charts perfectly fit into that mood and aesthetic. What a genius idea!
I am a huge fan of adding some sparkle to your wedding. Now of course glitter can be overdone, so limit it to the details in terms of your decor and fashion. And stick with neutral metallics, like silver, gold, rose gold, etc. – that will add just the right amount of shine to your special day!

Add some eco-friendly, global details to your wedding with bamboo touches! The neutral color works with any palette and the subtle notches add a unique texture.

One way to incorporate a lot of vibrant colors into your wedding, but in a soft, elegant way is to have a watercolor theme. The subtle effects of watercolor are beautiful and romantic in fabrics, stationery, and flowers.

A scalloped border is such a simple detail, but it certainly goes a long way – adding loads of charm to anything from a dress to an invitation. Scallops are sweet for showers and elegant for weddings!

I stumbled upon these lovely acorn jingle bell/ornaments on Etsy and just had to share! Made from real acorns, oversized bells, and a bit of glitter, they are wonderful as decoration, display ornaments, winter favors, or to ring in the happiness of the bride & groom.
Here are some other Christmas ornaments I’ve been loving lately as well:
