Christmas Wrapping Inspiration Board

I love presents. There, I said it. No more pretending! I know that at a certain age (which I have long since passed) you should stop loving presents so much and instead embrace the greatness of the holiday spirit, and what Christmas is all about (blah, blah, blah). But the thing is…I love presents. They don’t have to be big or expensive. I just like the excitement of holding a beautifully wrapped gift in my hands and the anticipation of what is inside. If you are having a holiday wedding, your favors don’t need to be grand, but you can wrap them for extra fun. Here are a few wrapping ideas for you to think about.

Unique Boutonniere Ideas

Take a step outside the box and rock a boutonniere that’s all about your style. From exotic flowers to miniature guitars, pretty much anything can be used to create a one-of-a-kind lapel accent.

Stylish Chevron Inspiration Board and Etsy Round-Up

I love a good chevron pattern. Orderly little zigzags that somehow turn whimsical in pastels. Here are a few great chevron wedding details I found while getting completely sucked into the Etsy wormhole.

Use these sweet little hearts to decorate Mason jars or to sprinkle around the base of your centerpieces.

Decorate your guest book table with a fun bouquet of chevron pinwheels.

Found: Perfect personalized wedding gift!

Save-the-dates in my all-time favorite color combo: aqua and cherry.

Particularly great for a nautical or military-inspired wedding, use this as your ring pillow.
