I have seen some great save the date cards in my day but I really think this one is great. It comes from Oh So Beautiful Paper and it fits in with the Whispering Pines wedding style 100%. As you know I have a thing for mason jars and find the ways to use them at a wedding endless. Have you seen a good save the date recently or was your own great, send me an email about it mpanian@whisperingpinescatalog.com

The board that I put up today is really just some of my favorite photos from around the blog and wedding world. I just love this first picture of the couple running together, it has just such a wonderful feeling about it. The second photo which I found at Mint & Sage photography captures a great rustic wedding moment. I hope to have a similar picture taken at my wedding since we are renting a wonderful old red pick up truck for the day. The bottom two photos just are small things that can really add a lot to a wedding. I love the swag that goes up and down the chairs, this could look great in a church too, and well I am just a sucker for baby’s breath flowers.

For a long time I used to think the use of hearts at a wedding sometimes came across as cheesy and trite, but recently I have found some really great ways to mix them in so they add the right amount of charm and all the while keeping the lovable qualities of hearts. Here are a few of the heart items we offer in the Whispering Pines Wedding Colletion and I think you can’t go wrong with any of them.

You can have some of the greatest wedding ideas, decorations or food but if they are not presented in an equally great way they lose almost all of their charm.

Visit the Whispering Pines Wedding Collection to find great things to help show off your wedding goodies.

The trend of having long tables for weddings seems to be growing in popularity. I myself am using long tables instead of the classic round table. The long tables can give you more options when it comes to “dressing” the tables, I am doing several different flower arrangements down the table and scattering pine cones in between, I am using a mix of natural ones I have picked up from the woods and these great Glittered Acorns. Another reason this look can be appealing is because it can give a “barn” feel to a space. My wedding is going to be held at a rustic lodge in the town where my family summers and the “long table” look fits in perfectly. Here are some other great looks I found for the long wedding table.

I wanted to show off a new product that was just added the Whispering Pines Wedding Collection- The Natural Kraft Gable Box. I am using these boxes at my own wedding as the welcome box that each guest will receive when they check into their hotel room. I have added an old postcard attached by a nice brown color ribbon to the box with a note to welcome everyone to the wedding. I will be filling these boxes with little snacks, water, local maps and ideas of things to do in the area. I love these boxes because the possibilities are endless with them, for example I will be using stamps to put a few images on the boxes that speak to the location of my wedding, pine tree, deer, boats etc…. Add your own personal touch to them and you are all set.
Here is another way to use them which I found on a blog for an island wedding, just print out a sticker and you got it made:

I am in love with using Mason Jars at weddings for almost anything. I know this is not a new concept but recently I have been seeing these little jars used in so many different ways that I wanted to share some of the photos I have come across.
One of the reasons I think mason jars can be a brides best friend is the fact that they are inexpensive, bring a vintage vibe to the wedding but they also work well with the whole reduce, reuse, recycle idea. I have bought some for my wedding at the local thrift store, I have saved some money and I like giving a bit back to the local community.

I found this inspiration board over at the blog Affordable Utah Weddings and thought it was one of the best looking barn weddings I have seen in awhile. One of my favorite details is the creamy color fabric that is hanging in the barn, what a simple, easy and affordable way to dress up a barn.
I am also in love with the orange color flowers, they may in the past have only been good for a fall wedding but my school of thought is to throw out those rules and invent your own, so have orange flowers in a spring or summer wedding, why not. Also, who could not love the cowboy boots, so cute. I thought I would show you some of our products that I thought would go good with this board and this style wedding.

So what does a WP bride look like? Well, I am sure there are several different types but I found some pictures that I think really sum up a WP bride. Think you are a WP bride? Or did you have a WP style wedding? Then please feel free to send in some photos and we will post some up here on our blog.
I love how beautiful this bride looks with an almost effortless feel about her, plus I think the small amount of color on her dress really gives it that something extra all the while keeping the classic bride look.
The silhouette on this dress is amazing…hey, no one says you can’t wear a full skirt when having a rustic wedding! This dress is very similar to the one I will rock on August 1!
This dress seems to have the perfect mix of fantasy wedding dress and a nature inspired theme. Also, check out the small deatil of the green ribbon on this dress, such a small deatil but has a great impact.
The hair alone in this shot is enough to get me excited let alone the amazing dress (J.Crew). Don’t cast out the idea of gold jewelry or accents just because at first they may not seem right for a rustic setting. Gold sometimes can be the perfect amount of sparkle and often times can add a touch of sophistication.

Over the weekend I spent hours shopping and online looking for great bridesmaid and groomsmen gifts.

I am still looking for the bridesmaids gift but I can show you something that I came across for which are perfect for the men in the group.

We were featured this weekend on the ultimate wedding blog, Style Me Pretty and since the staff over here at WP visits Style Me Pretty on a frequent basis we were thrilled to be featured on this amazing site. Read what Style Me Pretty had to say about Whispering Pines.
“I think that if we had to nail down our favorite style on SMP, it just might be rustic elegance. Total unabashed beauty tucked into a sweet, intimate and oh-so-rustic setting. Think chandeliers hanging from trees, birch vases, a pretty, bohemian gown with a sweet peony bouquet. Well, if this screams “me!” you have to check out Whispering Pines. With all things rustic, all things elegant…you are sure to find details that will help you pull off your vision.”
“Oh and definitely check out their blog when you are need of a little wedding inspiration.”
