Nothing says romance like the smell of lavender. And no one knows lavender like Priscilla, the creator of Gardenmis handmade organic lavender & botanical sachets. Her pretty little shop offers fragrant ring bearer pillows as well as beautiful handmade sachets that are perfect as bridal party  gifts or wedding favors.

In the Details : Fabric Bouquets

The bridal bouquet is just as important to the bridal ensemble as the accessories, the shoes, the hair, and the gown itself. My own bouquet was gorgeous. It was full, it was delicately hued, it was complete eye candy... and it was dead after a week. Had I known about fabric flower bouquets at the time, I'm pretty sure I would have invested in a bouquet that would have stayed beautiful for years to come.

In the Details : Wish Tree Tags

Wish trees have become a popular alternative to the traditional guest book. This charming Dutch custom has given rise to all sorts of wish tree and tag designs. Traditional wish trees consist of a beautiful tree branch placed next to the bride and groom's table at the reception. Guests write their special wish for the happy couple on paper leaves attached to pieces of colorful ribbon, which the bride and groom can then hang on the tree.

In the Details : Confetti Cones

When planning your wedding, it's the attention to detail that can take your event from memorable to unforgettable. Today's detail of note is confetti cones, also known as toss cones or petal cones. Fill them with bird seed, flowers, or confetti for your reception exit - or use them to hold sweet treats at your dessert display or as pretty favor cones. These simple little containers can really have a big impact when grouped together and elegantly showcased.

Handmade by Wendy Jeavons, owner of  Redbrick Glass, these fairy light strands come in a beautiful array of colors and three different petal sizes. Each bulb is surrounded by six fused glass discs resulting in delicate, luminescent effect.

In the Details : Cupcake Toppers

With so many brides opting to use cupcakes as opposed to traditional wedding cakes, it's no surprise that a whole new genre of cake toppers has grown around decorating these sweet treats. Cupcake toppers are as varied as the little cakes they adorn. When artfully arranged on platters and tiers, these dressed up mini desserts can be the hi-light of your reception table.

A bride always wants to make a memorable entrance, but the exit is just as important. Ribbon wands are a unique, whimsical, and colorful way to send the newlyweds off with a "wave of good wishes" - a term coined by Pebbles Catto, owner of Living a Fairytale.
