Weddingbee Blog

I have a giant folder saved with dozens of pictures, as well as hundreds of bookmarked websites in all of my browsers that help me to keep track of things I love. Sometimes I’ll revisit them all at a later date and either a) fall in love with them as inspiration all over again, or b) wonder what on earth I was thinking when I originally saved them.

Most of the time though, they leave me wishing we had a bigger budget so that I could blow it all on all sorts of pretties. I’ve had these babies in my inspiration folder for a while now—yep, the very same ones I noticed Miss Lioness blogged about a few weeks ago:

{Place Card Holders from Here}

These ones are perfect for us.

Wouldn’t they look just amazing on an all-white table setting?

Or these oh-so-adorable trees with matching bird place cards:

I’m obsessed with birds!

Or for an eco-friendly idea, little herb pots that double as wedding favours:

I’m dying from the sweetness. Imagine how nice they’d smell?

All of these ideas are so cute and clever, but I just can’t justify spending much money on place card holders for 120 guests. I’m also wondering if they would look out of place at our reception, since it’s being held indoors and is a semi-formal event, do these greener options look too outdoorsy and relaxed?

Ah, inspiration, I love you and all, but you make me want to throw seven different weddings just so that I can use all of my mismatched style ideas!
