Paper Wedding Centerpieces

What better way to hang onto the memory of your wedding day then to create centerpieces and bouquets made of paper? Believe it or not paper flowers can look just as beautiful as fresh flowers, and the best part is they will never wilt.

Use colored paper to coordinate with your wedding color scheme. Add a bit of sparkle by placing a gem, pearl, or bead in the center of each flower. Go for a more eclectic look by making your flowers with newspaper, patterned paper, or the pages of an old book. Send them home with guests afterwards to re-use as unique home decor that will last far beyond your wedding day!

Northeast Beach Wedding

I would say that the perfect time for a beach wedding in the Northeast is a Saturday at the end of September. I'm picturing a secluded beach on Cape Cod, Rhode Island, or the coast of Maine. You can almost count on the fact that the weather won't be too hot or too cold; most likely it'll be just right. An evening ceremony on the beach would be accompanied by a colorful sunset and a cool breeze... sounds pretty ideal if you ask me. If you're imagining this type of wedding, then you'll probably be inspired by the beach-themed wedding ideas below. Keep your decor mostly white with touches of beachy blues, greens, and accents of wood.
