As you decide the exact wording for your wedding invitations, do not be so quick to overlook the font style.  Simple details such as changing the front to lowercase can create a much more modern feel and change the style of the invitations. This change in font gives your invitation a not so formal feel and tells your guests to expect a fun modern wedding.

I suggest finding a font or two to call your own, and carry it throughout the save the dates, invitations, programs etc.  This will keep a consistent feel with all the paper for your wedding.  Looking back over all of it, you will love the way the lowercase flows together.  Also combining lowercase print and script will add a unique look that your friends probably weren’t expecting!

There are so many talented wedding designers that specialize in fonts and finding one that fits your personality as a couple.  I highly recommend working closely with one to create invitations that you will be proud to send out as a sneak preview to your wedding.

When your big day comes and you are running around all morning with your hair and make up—and then spending hours taking pictures—the last thing you want to think of is doing it all in stilettos.  When you are picking out your accessories, worry about your earrings, necklaces and veil, not about shoes that no one will see hiding underneath your long flowing bridal gown.

I completely understand that some women are more comfortable in heels, whether it is for the height or they simply make them feel more confident and sexy.  If you are not one of these women, do not punish yourself!  The goal of the day is to keep you as comfortable as possible, because it is a long day and even though there is so much excitement in the air, if your feet are hurting you will not be a glowing bride!

A good friend of mine sent me over this creative DIY idea for displaying your escort cards and I fell in love with it!  Whether you are hanging butterflies or another shape to go along with your theme, when you walk in and see this display you can not help but be impressed!

Having 4 different stations allows guests to not get clogged up in a long line when getting into the reception, they can spread around the tables.  Also, what I love most about this is I rarely see anything like this at weddings. You can tell there was a lot of quality time put into this, but the end product is obviously worth it!
