When the pieces fall into place..you know it's love...

When designing and styling a wedding, sometimes it's the smallest details that can be the hardest. Choosing a design for details such as escort cards,table numbers and guest books can be seriously overwhelming because believe it or not they can become the most creative elements. I often spend sleepless nights racking my brain thinking of the most out of the box and original idea. It is indeed a puzzle as you want to be as creative as possible but it also has to fit in perfectly with the decor and the story that you are telling.

Well I couldn't believe my eyes when I found this amazingly genius creative idea for the Guest Book!!!!!! A custom puzzle. Now this is no ordinary puzzle, it is made of REAL wood and can have wonderful hidden little pieces like words, names, dates or even shapes.

Where did I find this utter fabulousness?? Bella Puzzles on Etsy!!

The options are endless....

I love that it can be just plain wood...It would look fabulous on a coffee table.

Just having the date can be simple yet elegant.

Guests pick a piece of the puzzle and write on the back..

I am in LOVE with the packaging!!

It even come with pens!! I can't tell you how many times that couples forget the pens for the guest book!

Problem solved.

In my opinion these don't just have to be for weddings....what about a new house, 1st year anniversary, birthday, new baby....the possibilities are endless...

So Thank you Thank you Bella Puzzles for your fabulousness, creativity and allowing me to have a good night's sleep.

Paloma's Nest... Guest Book Idea

I am always asked by brides for creative guest book ideas and so I am constantly thinking about new ways to recreate the traditional guest book. As I was thinking about new ideas I discovered Paloma's Nest and was immediately drawn into the simplicity of design, stark white pottery, and the engraved words that accent her work with such meaning. I thought these would be perfect for guests to sign, and then to hang on the wall with fancy ribbon, or to use as decorative plates when entertaining, you would have so many different ways to display your "guest book" and to always remember all of the people that were there with you on that day. You can even customize the engraved message with a special quote and your wedding date. For more information check out Caroline's online store on Etsy.

City Posters.. Cool Guest Book Idea

I recently discovered these city posters by Ork. And immediately fell in love. I think they would make a really cool guest book idea. If you frame the posters with a wide mat border and have guests sign the mat, it would make a one of a kind piece of artwork to hang in your new home together.

Photobooth Planet... One of a Kind Guest Book

After being a guest at an event last Saturday that had a photobooth I am totally hooked. When I was growing up I can remember the excitement of going into a photobooth with my best friend Becca and posing all different ways as the camera snapped our pictures, some serious, some silly, others we were laughing so hard we had no control over what we looked like. And then within a few minutes as we waited the images were already spitting out of the machine. Before the age of digital cameras, it really was the best thing in the world, instant pictures. It brings back such fond memories of summers spent with my best friend. And I am sure you and all your guests will have the same types of nostalgic memories immediately triggered when they see the photobooth at your event. People can't wait to hop in!

The crew behind Photobooth Planet has spent years designing a booth that is true to the iconic look of vintage booths. They have employed modern materials, and their own custom software and hardware internals to deliver the best possible photobooth experience. And the best thing of all is that the booth sends out two copies of photos so your guests can keep a set and the other set can go into a custom book that instantly becomes the best sign in book created. A night of your closest family and friends taking photos in the booth, it could get very interesting!
