Vintage Carnival Style Shoot - Dessert, Favors, & Invitations

I love the idea of an ice cream and dessert bar. Honestly, the dessert is the best part, wouldn't you agree? That sugar rush to cap off the evening. Check out these amazing treats and see the list of vendors at the bottom. 

These cupcakes are made to look like popcorn!! Aren't they amazing?!

Favor ideas: Giant Lollipops and circus peanuts in individual bags

The invitations were made to look just like a carnival billboard

Vintage Carnival Style Shoot - Decorations

Picking out the decorations was so much fun. I scoured antique stores for the perfect centerpiece items. 

I also used rolls of tickets to add height to the floral arrangements. 

I also used a Pinterest idea to make carnival themed plates using sharpies! So easy and makes each place setting so unique.

I plan on showing off more pictures of this dessert bar in the next post, but I had to share how awesome it looks.

Having carnival games placed around the venue makes for fun entertainment for the guests.

Vintage Carnival Style Shoot - Couple Pictures

Now to focus on the beautiful bride and groom. Style shoots are made to look just like a real wedding. So these pictures have great ideas for poses. Notice how even with the colorful background and the colorful flowers the bride & groom still pop out from it all.

I love the Pom Pom exit. It's a great idea for when the bride and groom walk down the aisle, also a great alternative to the sparkler exit.

Vintage Carnival Style Shoot - Getting Ready

I had the pleasure of collaborating with a bunch of local vendors and creating a style shoot. I chose the theme "Vintage Carnival" and everything came together beautifully!

Since there are so many pictures I decided to split the posts up a bit as to not overwhelm anyone.

First up is the getting ready phase! Vendors are listed at the bottom of this post.

Parties! Parties! Parties!

We often post about weddings and flowers but here at Love Blooms we love to do all different kinds of events! One thing we love to do are birthday parties! Below are a few examples of some parties we have done decor, flowers and more for.

We love the little "popcorn" cupcakes above!

The centerpiece of roses and the umbrella were a bit hit!

Holiday Inspiration: Twinkly Lights!

The holiday season is in full bloom and all the decor gives us such inspiration... especially all the Christmas lights! Luckily, white twinkly lights are perfect for a wedding during any season! 

It's perfect for setting an ambiance but it also works great for centerpieces! You can see below a couple options: the jar filled with lights or lit up branches!

You can not go wrong with these and like we said, they are perfect for any time of year indoor or outdoor!

Inspiration: Guest Book Ideas

Guest books have come a long way in the last few years. For so long it was just a basic book that people signed and then got stashed away somewhere. Now people are seeing the guest book as an opportunity to show their personality!

Whether you love sports or wine there are endless options! Many people have used this opportunity as home décor like the options below.

 Lastly, if you prefer something a little more traditional, there are updated versions of guest books like picture books.

Love Blooms is full of ideas on these and so much more. Take a look at our website http://www.lovebloomseventdesign.com/ to find out everything you need to know!
