The Secret to Stylish Wedding Celebrations with a little DIY + some bubbly

A wedding celebration is always a bit better with a little bubbly.

Today on the blog, Freixenet Brut {makes of a quality wine that’s affordable} joins us with three creative DIY tips to make your wedding celebrations stylish while still coming in under budget.

Gifts for your bridesmaid:

When it’s time to ask your BFFs to be in your wedding party, it can be overwhelming to come up with a way to pop the question that's unique and affordable. A fun idea is to grab a bottle of Freixenet Brut for just $12 and a gold pen - then simply write the words “Will you be my bridesmaid?” on Freixenet’s chic black bottle. On the other side of the bottle, you can write a personal note to each friend for a sweet and sentimental touch. To complete the entire look for popping the question - you can package up the bottle of Freixenet Brut with a pretty handmade card and some other fun goodies - like a coffee mug, some chocolate and maybe even a pair of earrings.

Place cards that pop:

Spruce up your place cards whether it's a seated dinner at the reception or a rustic-style bridal luncheon by using adorable Freixenet Brut minis (SRP $4) as a fun alternative. You can personalize each mini black bottle with a gold pen and place one at each table setting to instantly elevate the look while leaving your guests with a treat to take home. {Wedding decor that serves two purposes are always a favorite of mine}

Not-your-ordinary-guestbook:

Surprise your guests with a unique guestbook to sign by using a magnum of Freixenet Brut (1.5L, SRP $18). Simply place the magnum bottle in the center of a table surrounded by fresh flowers and have gold pens ready for guests to use to sign their names. This extra-large bottle of Freixenet Brut will look elegant and inviting at the reception and will give the couple a fun keepsake to hang on to after the wedding.

Unique Guest Book Idea with Love From The Thumb

Ricky and his wife were recently married and designed their own guest book which was a huge hit. Since then, they have started selling them in their etsy shop "Love from the Thumb". I just love this idea and the artwork is beautiful. The Fingerprint Tree is a fun and creative way to record all of your guests in attendance on your special day. And, then after the wedding it becomes a great reminder of your day and a great heirloom to hang in your home. The tree comes blank with your names and date and it's then ready for your friends and family to fill with their fingerprints and signatures.

Wedding Guest Book Boxes {from Just Wright Boutique}

What a great modern alternative to the traditional guest book for weddings.  These wedding guest book boxes from Just Wright Boutique are perfect for weddings, the rehearsal dinner, bridal showers or any other special event. Guests can write their address and special wishes for the couple on the included cards and then they're file alphabetically. Not only does remain a beautiful keepsake for the couple, but it's a guest book that will be used again and again. And, the wood box is hand crafted, stained and sealed. A selection of colors is available for the divider pattern and comes with white ribbon (although colored ribbon is available). And, you can personalize the front seal with the couples name and date or a monogram. For even more choices of wedding guest book boxes, please visit the Just Wright Boutique.
