Tasteful Fourth of July Wedding Ideas

I couldn't let the US holiday pass by and not mention or 'give it a nod' on the blog. I also wanted to give those of you considering a fourth of July theme for your wedding { next year; today is probably a bit late :) } some tasteful ideas...

First off, ladies if you are thinking of the fourth of July as a wedding theme, the one thing I implore you not to do {because it is the ultimate in 'tact city'} is DO NOT, under ANY circumstance get or have {or even think about} an American flag as a wedding dress! I detest it so much I wont even put one on the blog to show you how truly terrible they are!

{ I do want to clarify: I have absolutely nothing against the flag, its a very nice flag, but it should never be, under any circumstance, a wedding dress!}

Now that, that is sorted let is feast our eyes on some great {tasteful} inspiration for a fourth of July wedding!

Involve your guests in your wedding!

Yes a wedding day is mostly about a bride and groom, but what about involving your wedding guests a little more than beyond being in the wedding party, ushers or reading scripture or prayers?

With these 3 great ideas you can kill two birds with one stone { I apologize for the bad turn of phrase there :)} and involve your guests more in the wedding, have cute and interesting talking points and have unique and fun decoration at your wedding too!

Hang photos of your wedding guests above the tables they are being seated at. Pictured here using part of a ladder and some cat gut. { You could of course paint the ladder in your theme colours and even decorate with flowers too! }

Stick guest photos into mason jars {aka jam jars}and use as centrepieces. Add some water and yellow food colouring {or any colour food colouring} for fun interesting effects. { Make sure the photos aren't originals if you are doing this }.



At your drinks reception hang wedding pictures of all your attending married guests { don't forget to date and name them too!}
