We love finding fun new products and resources for brides to make the planning process a tad bit easier, so you can only imagine how excited we were when Francie from Love Totes reached out to us and introduced us to their wonderful custom party bags! As a bride, you want to make sure your guests are comfortable and feel welcomed when they arrive at their hotel for your big day. What better way to greet your guests than with an adorable custom welcome tote from Love Totes! The best part? They take care of everything, from designing, packaging, and delivery, so all you have to do as the bride is sit back and enjoy your big day!

Love Totes has a wonderful assortment of totes to choose from and goodies to fill each one. They will also work with you to create a custom welcome bag with any design you want and they’ll also source custom items to create a one-of-a-kind tote for your guests.

Imagine your guests opening their welcome bags and finding yummy treats like soft pretzels for a NYC wedding, whoopie pies for a northern New England wedding, or Cape Cod chips for your Boston wedding. With regional treats and memorable gifts, your welcome bags will be a hit with your guests!

Love Totes will work with your hotel (or wedding planner if you have one), to make sure everything is set for delivery. They will personally hand deliver your bags to the hotels throughout most of New England, NYC, Boulder/Denver, and Seattle or they’ll personally oversee all shipping, tracking, and delivery of your items if you fall outside of the hand delivery regions. Sounds like a pretty good deal to us! The last thing you want to worry about is assembling and transporting all your welcome bags to the various hotels in the days leading up to your wedding. Love Totes has got you covered.

Let’s grab a cup of coffee (or tea if that’s more your speed) and sit down to chat about this shoe. It’s a little edgy, right? Do you like edgy? I could see a really fun, rock and roll kind of bride wearing this heel on her big day. I also think it has some class to it with the pretty black leather and snake-embossed heel cap so it’d really transition beautifully from a bridal shoe to a night out on the town shoe, don’t you think?

There are very few design details that can bring in a modern flair and change the whole game better than a bold white and black stripe pattern can. It’s sophisticated while still being fun and whimsical. It’s easy to incorporate but at the same time you want to make sure you don’t over do it. You don’t want to give your poor guests a headache! Adding black and white bakers twine around your favors, using a chic striped table runner, or wrapping some ribbon around your bouquet are the perfect ways to use the bold detail in places where they’ll be most effective.

One of my favorite details on a wedding dress is the back. A lot of brides wear a bridal updo for their big day so they have an opportunity to add a little extra back detailing to their bridal look. Even though the first thing your to-be-spouse will see is the front of the dress, the rest of your guests will be staring at the back of you for much of the ceremony; why not give them a little romance, too, right? Whether you’re coming or going, your dress will turn your guests’ heads throughout the night and will leave a lasting impression. Plus, doesn’t it make for the loveliest picture?
