In my years of planning beautiful weddings and events, I have learned so much from some very creative brides and vendors and I would like to pass some of this on to you. If you are thinking about getting married in this beautiful and magical place called Sedona, I think you will enjoy some of my couples’ stories and beautiful photos. I am also excited to share wedding trends, new finds, and fabulous vendors. I hope some of these posts will inspire your creativity for your wedding celebration.I believe that beautiful weddings are about the details and these can be obtained with an eye for beauty and a style that says, “This is me.” We at Van Damme Weddings would love to hear from you. What has inspired you. Send us your favorite wedding; fabulous décor; shopping find, ideas for the unusual, large and small.

Bow Ties
Guys have recently been seen sporting fun, colorful bow ties for their wedding attire. The classic is back, trendy and hip. A splash of color, polka dots or stripes adds certain flair to the less formal wedding or great at a vintage wedding. And of course the black formal bow tie is always elegant. Here are a few I spotted on the web.

Precious Tutu
How adorable are these tulle tutu’s from Bambaroos? I saw these on 100layercake today. Perfect for your little flower girl. And I want one to dress up a little princess for a wedding inspiration shoot.
Sedona-Letterpress Shoot
Here are a few photographs of the vintage tabletop we designed last month. The Aerialist Press created the beautiful letterpress invitation suite for us. Katrina Wallace of Sedona Bride photographed at Tlaquepaque. The awesome cake was the work of Andrea at Sedona Cake Couture. Cute fun and casual, Van Damme Weddings can do something equally awesome for your wedding.
Hair Accessories
Hairpieces and fascinators are being seen on our Sedona brides more than ever. Here are a few I love from whichgoose
Beautiful Letterpress Wedding Invitations
The Aerialist Press created this beautiful letterpress wedding invitation suite for me to use in a vintage tabletop design. I am so thrilled with the work of Alexandra and Craig. For all you brides that are looking for the richness and beauty of letterpress invitations at an affordable price, visit their web site. You will be surprised and delighted.
DIY Finds
I am always on the lookout for great wedding extras for my brides, for photo shoots or my own designs. I ran across this great site via Wiley Valentine.
Olive Manna and their wedding site, Wedzu are packed full of great items. You will find newsprint paper sacks, pink glassine bags, burlap favor bags, colored clothespins and wooden tags. “Wedzu is all about weddings. Especially indie, handmade, awesome weddings”
French Macaroons
I love French macaroons. These dainty little cakes in beautiful colors and flavors, yum. Brides that love beautiful food are following this trend to have French macaroons at their event. They can be a substitute for the cake, in addition to the cake, a late night dessert or make a lovely take away gift. I love these from Nicola and Eric at the Macaronner. They make these dainty, delicate; melt in your mouth, French macaroons from scratch. Check out their blog and their etsy store for more delicious ideas.
All About Weddings
This find from grey likes weddings. Wedzu an online marketplace for hand made items, just for weddings. I love it.

Wine Cork Place Card Holders
Stacy of Le’ Gallery Boutique in Scottsdale recently sent me these samples of her work with wine corks. These are great custom handcrafted wine corks made by Stacy in Scottsdale Arizona. They make wonderful place card holders and napkin rings for our Vineyard Weddings in Sedona. Of course they work beautifully for any special occasion or event you may be having. These repurposed wine corks are a good eco-friendly choice for your event. I am looking forward to using them for an outdoor summer event.
