One of our WeddingWire team members, Persephone, just received the final version of her save-the-date video. It’s incredibly unique and so we had to share it with you. Make sure to read the write-up from Persephone before watching!

“As a bride working in the wedding industry wedding planning can make you slightly jaded, because it’s hard to find truly unique ideas that have never been seen before. Our goal with the save-the-date was to “set the stage” for what our guests could expect, get them excited and also have it be representative of myself and my fiancé Eddie. I never thought having a videographer was something of importance to me, but when we came across Fandango Studios and the talent of Ram Hernandez it changed my outlook completely. On his blog he had showcased his latest work, a ‘Save-the-Date’ video that was shot more like a music video that you would see on MTV and we immediately knew that was what we wanted to do. We worked extensively with Ram to create the concept so that the video would be a direct reflection of who we were as a couple. We flew to our wedding destination location – Miami – to film all day and devised the concept around a romanticized version of how Eddie and I met, our love for salsa and all things Miami. It didn’t take long for us to realize that what we were doing here was special. Who gets to spontaneously dance in the middle of the street while a videographer is on the ground filming your feet or drive with a camera strapped to the roof of your car? Filming was one of the most memorable experiences we have had together on this engagement journey and the outcome – the save-the-date video – is more than what we could’ve dreamt was possible.”

1. Patch his tie with a note…2. Place Card Display that is also a Guest Book full of Polaroids 

3. Calligraphy Stamps

4. Informally Introducing Your Wedding Party (let your guests know who the people are standing beside you on your big day)

If you’re looking for a unique modern theme for your wedding, this event’s decor is fabulous. I love the bold pinks, oranges, and yellows with all white.

Fall Dessert Stand

Another adoral, and delicious dessert table idea. This one was an impromptu idea thrown together at the last minute – and we LOVE. The pies and peaches came fresh from a market down the street (and we had one of the pies later – it was delicious!).

So you’re thinking about poms on your wedding day? Here are a few alternative trends we’re loving (with links to how-to’s)!

Yarn Poms. This is a somewhat labor intensive task, but the outcome is really beautiful. You can do them in all different colors. We’ve seen them in different hues of gray, yellow, blue, etc. If you want instructions on how to make them, go over to ruffledblog.com, they do a how-to with Jessica of Wednesday Inc.

Flower poms are something your florist can pull together for you pretty easily as they have all of the tools needed. This is a babies breath hanging pom, which is so elegant and simple. I love this idea! {Photo Credit: Jonathon Ong}

These fabric poms are an alternative to the tissue poms, and provide a must more professional look for a wedding.  Head over to oncewed.com and for a how-to from Ashley of Dolci Odille
