Wedding Inspiration

Ah, l’amour. There’s nothing more romantic than a Parisian-inspired wedding. What better way to incorporate the best of Paris with a quirky, memorable movie than by having an Amelie-inspired wedding! Amelie tells the story of a woman who is determined to do good in the world – while finding love unexpectedly along the way. You can read more about the film here.

• Having a wedding near the water? Give your guests stones to skip, just like Amelie.
• Serve up raspberries and creme brulee – don’t forget the spoon!
• Set up a photo booth for your guests to have meet-cutes of their own!

Your wedding day will be filled with love and romance as you embark on your new life together as man and wife. Capture the love you two share with a wedding cake topper figurine that reflects a tender moment shared between the bride and groom. Whether it be the first dance, a tender embrace or even a secret kiss, these beautiful cake toppers sweetly showcase a couple in love… just like you!

For 2012, many of our popular bride and groom cake toppers are now available with customization. You may choose the hair color for both the bride and groom so the figurine is a more accurate reflection of you. We love so many of the new cake toppers, but the Romantic Dip is sure to be a popular choice this year.

Winter weddings are a growing trend, and it’s no wonder why. There are many benefits to tying the knot during the winter season. For example, brides have an unlimited amount of choices when it comes to their wedding’s theme and accessories. Plus, winter weddings are often easier to host as there are more venues open (and cheaper!) during this type of year. Below we’ve listed some of our favorite winter wedding accessories, and how you can use them to create a gorgeous wedding ensemble.

Snowflake Crystal Bridal Brooch

Our Snowflake Crystal Bridal Brooch is the perfect accent on a dress, bouquet, hairstyle, or bridal wrap this winter. Fashioned with silver and sparkling rhinestones, this crystal bridal brooch adds a dazzling, wintry touch to your ensemble.

Snowflake Tiara

Want to feel like a snow princess? Try on our Snowflake Rhinestone Bridal Tiara. Made with rhinestone encrusted snowflakes along a silver plated band, this pretty piece is sure to make you feel like a queen on your wedding day.

Bridal Fur Wrap

We LOVE our new selection of bridal capes, bridal wraps, bridal shawls, and bridal boleros. We have a lovely selection of faux fur bridal wraps for you to choose from and all are beautiful for winter weddings.

Snowflake Garter Set

Finally, underneath the dress, wear something fun! Our Snowflake Bridal Garter Set is sure to please and is perfect for any winter bride. Pretty snowflakes make this garter set unique.

In addition to our winter wedding accessories, Daisy-Days also has winter wedding favors, invitations and other winter themed wedding needs, to help make your winter wedding memorable for everyone.

Winter can be such a magical time of the year for a wedding. While most people tend to think of the snow as an annoyance, imagine how a gorgeous a bride would look as her white wedding dress glistens against the snow covered ground. Breathtaking! Not to mention, the decor options for a winter wedding are endless!

• Have snowflake wedding decorations by dangling handmade or store bought snowflakes from the ceiling of the reception hall.
• Winter weddings are often associated with the color white, but blue is a wintery color that is often forgotten. Go against the norm, and create an ice blue wonderland for your wedding! Accent blues with whites and silvers for a sophisticated, chic look.
• At the reception, hang mistletoe above the bride and groom?s seats. Voila! The perfect kiss to kick off the reception!
• Give guests winter wedding favors, like our Snow in Love plantable snowflake seed favors, miniature winter snowglobe favors, or winter scented pine cone favors. Our winter wedding favor selection has dozens of favors for you to choose from – all with a holiday or winter theme in mind!
• Want to liven up your wedding gown? Try a beautiful bridal cape or bridal wrap in an elegant fur accented by a crystal bridal brooch. 
• Personalized ornaments can be used as place cards and favors. 
• Fill the dessert table with Christmas cookies and other holiday treats, like white chocolate snowflakes. 
• A red and white theme is elegant and creates a Christmas atmosphere. Use red accents such as bows, holly, candles and even bridesmaids dresses if you want a Christmastime wedding. 
• Create a unique church atmosphere by decorating the church aisles with miniature potted trees sprayed white with fake snow and stringing white lights throughout them. 
• Candle lit centerpieces create a relaxing atmosphere, so feel free to play around with pillar candles on holiday plates, glass hurricane lamps, or elegant candelabras. 

We can’t believe how fast autumn is flying by! Pretty soon, we’ll be moving into one of our favorite times of year: Proposal Season!

We absolutely love hearing about our customers’ proposals. There are just so many unique ideas out there! But if you’re a fiance-to-be scouting out the wedding blogs looking for ideas, never fear! We’ve put together something just for you

Here are a few of our favorite unique wedding proposal ideas (complete with our engagement ring boxes and unique ring pillows!):

Rose Ring Box

Get rosy. We love the idea of a trail of rose petals leading to a fiance-to-be on bended knee, so try to get creative with your use of roses! Draw her a romantic rose petal bath, complete with candles and champange before you pop the question. Or you can try giving her a bouquet of 11 roses – the 12th rose will be our gorgeous rose ring box! Featuring a satin and velvet lining, this elegant engagement ring box is perfect for a romantic proposal involving roses.

Birds Nest Ring Pillow

Enjoy the great outdoors. Maybe your fiance-to-be loves to hike, kayak, and just enjoy the sunshine. Take her on a romantic picnic, horseback ride, boat ride, or other outdoor activity she enjoys. Be sure to pack along her favorite foods and maybe even set the mood with a little music. Then, go to a quiet spot and present her with a bird’s nest ring pillow as you tell her how you want to spend the rest of your life with her. This gorgeous bird’s nest is a natural and eco-chic way to have the perfect proposal.

Treasure Chest Ring Box

Take her on a treasure hunt. Does the love of your life enjoy surprises? Then send her on a thoughtful treasure hunt! Start out by sending her flowers to her apartment. Include a card letting her know that a treasure hunt awaits. Then, get some of her friends and family involved by giving them each a clue to lead her to the next spot. Each point on her hunt can be something she enjoys, such as a manicure, massage, or a cup of her favorite coffee. Have the final clue lead her to you and present her with her very own treasure chest ring box! This beautiful treasure chest is made of white satin and is perfect for presenting her engagement ring.

What are your favorite unique proposal ideas? How did your hubby-to-be propose?

Making a wedding feel more special is all in the details. Sure, there’s the cake, the reception space, and the decorations to sent the tone for the occasion, but at Daisy-Days.com we believe in making a splash. Wedding details that are unique and unexpected can make any wedding memorable, not to mention, much more fun! Here are a few of our favorite wedding details that we’re seeing pop up at weddings around the globe.

Wedding Sparklers: Fireworks aren’t just for Independence Day! Wedding sparklers can be a great way to give the bride and groom an amazing send off at the end of the reception. Plus, they’re fun for weddings that fall in the summertime, near patriotic holidays, or on New Year’s Eve! Sparklers are a fun touch that can add light and pizzazz to a reception – just remember to use them carefully!

Flip Flops: Everyone usually kicks off their shoes about halfway through the reception, but now you can have your guests dance the night away in comfort! Have bins of foam flip flops (they can be purchased in bulk and are usually only a few dollars a piece) near the dance floor for your guests to grab as they start to boogie.

Handkerchiefs: Tears of joy are bound to be present at your wedding, so why not prepare your guests with a thoughtful gesture? Many couples are choosing to hand out handkerchiefs or personalized tissues to wedding guests as they enter the ceremony area. Looking to DIY this wedding detail? Grab square scraps of cloth from a local craftstore (the more fun patterns the better!) and roll each scrap. Tie with a ribbon around the middle and display in a basket or jar.

Paper Flag Banners: These are cute DIY projects that we love seeing along church pews, altars, reception tables, and doorways. We’ve got some cute DIY paper flag banner bunting kits for you to use to match this wedding detail on your own special day.

What wedding details have you been falling in love with?

Your wedding is one of the most wonderful days of your entire life, and it should be celebrated to the fullest. One of the many ways to make sure you have a memorable, one-of-a-kind wedding is by personalizing certain details to suit your tastes and unique style, or by using personalized wedding accessories and decor. Here are 15 ways you can personalize your wedding.

1. Keep guests cool inside a tightly packed church with DIY fan programs with a special message from the bride and groom.
2. Decorate with your childhood photos! Clip photos of you and your groom along a clothesline, and string the clothesline up at the church, reception hall or wedding location.
3. Direct the way to your wedding with a blackboard sign with you and your grooms name on it and an arrow pointing in the right direction.
4. Make your own wedding invitations with a DIY invitation kit.
5. For a fall wedding, instead of the flower girl scattering the traditional flowers, have her scatter colorful leaves. It’s a unique detail anyone can appreciate. Feel free to get creative with bubbles, lavender buds, birdseed, confetti, or other wedding details to make your flower girl’s walk down the aisle unique.
6. Instead of wearing no shoes to a beach wedding, slip on a pair of barefoot sandals. They’re beautiful and totally unexpected!
7. Drive away from the ceremony in style when you decorate your car with personalized car wedding décor.
8. Decorate the dance floor with personalized wedding dance floor decals.
9. Rent a photo booth, and use a personalized photo booth backdrop.
10. Label your chairs at the reception with bride and groom sashes, or personalized chair sashes.
11. At the reception, instead of setting out the tradition guest book, set out a wooden box with cards and a pen, and tell guests they should write their well wishes on the paper and set it in the box.
12. Walk down the isle on a personalized isle runner.
13. Personalize your wedding favors with DIY favors and kits. Feature your names, wedding date, or monogram for a polished touch.
14. Decorate the top of your wedding cake with a photo of your and your groom or choose a monogram cake topper.
15. Incorporate your heritage, hometowns or favorite hobbies into your ceremony and reception.

Personalizing your wedding can be fun, whether it’s through DIY wedding projects or doing something non-traditional.

Everyone is buzzing over Kim Kardashian’s wedding and we have to say, it was definitely one of the biggest Hollywood nuptials of the year. Set in Montecito, the Kris Humphries & Kim Kardashian wedding featured glamorous details and a black and white color scheme that can only be described as pure glam.

Kardashian wore three custom-made Vera Wang gowns: the first was an ivory ball gown with a full tulle skirt and a basque waist, the second – an ivory georgette mermaid gown with hand cut organza petals, and the third, a bias-cut crepe back ivory satin gown with a circle skirt and V-neckline. Gowns one and two also featured Chantilly lace. How gorgeous is that?!? Factor in the jewels and it’s enough to make this wedding feel like royalty. Kim wore more than $10 million of exclusive Lorraine Schwartz jewels, including a diamond-encrusted circlet headpiece.

Even the invitations were opulent. Designed by Lehr & Black, the invitations were crystal-embellished black-and-white engraved gatefold style with a price tag of $10,000. Plus, the event was catered by celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck and featured amazing decorations, which can be seen on the E! wedding special (yes – it was filmed!).

As for the guest list, it was star-studded. Serena Williams, Robin Thicke, Eva Longoria, Mario Lopez, Demi Lovato, Vera Wang, and Lindsay Lohan are just a sample of the guest list, but one thing is clear: everyone has noted on Twitter and otherwise that it was a great time!

What did you think of Kris and Kim’s nuptials?
