I was researching ideas for a few weddings and I stumbled upon a site I haven’t visited in a little while…Plum Party. I love the interesting and unique party items they stock.

Check out these gorgeous white details that could be used to add a serious WOW factor to your chic, modern decor. Imagine these vases with just a few stems of your accent color.

These are from West Elm

I love the clean, modern design. How cute do they look with leaves in them? It’s a fun take on the typical fall leaf decor. Leaves are an unexpected element for a spring or summer wedding. I think they look great with the white backdrop.

Happy Planning!

I’m a huge fan of wearing a cute, white dress to your rehearsal dinner. You’re only the bride once. Wear white at every chance!

When I was getting married, I searched high and low for a white dress to wear to my rehearsal dinner. I found one, but not until I had wasted more time than I care to admit.

Now that I  am no longer the bride in search of the perfect rehearsal dinner dress, there are white dresses popping up everywhere! I thought I’d share a few in case you hadn’t started your shopping.

Casual (Old Navy, Old Navy, Gap):

Classic (Banana Republic, JCrew):

Fancy (JCrew):

I think this goes without saying, but please, do not, under any circumstances, wear your adorable white rehearsal dinner dress to a friend’s wedding-related event…a shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, or brunch. You can wear it on your honeymoon!

Happy Shopping!
