Wedding Props 2.0

We have all been there...you are at a wedding in a lovely dress. Your date is handsome in a gray suit perhaps and yes his tie matches your dress, not in that obnoxious, obvious fashion, but in a "my take a look at that dashing, charming couple over there" way and all of a sudden it happens!

You are accosted by a plastic lei or a blow up guitar...oh the humanity!

Not sure where this started or why but the thought alone makes me break out into hives. However, I have been noticing a resurgence of Wedding Props but even better...even more creative than it's corny, hive causing predecessors....

I present to you Wedding Props 2.0..

These pics show just how far a carefully thought out prop can go and how it can serve for some AMAZING photographs...

Lauren was kind enough to share her absolutely adorable and swoon worthy wedding prop candid shots!

The clown nose and pirate hat and the Darth Vader Mask....it's almost too perfect!!!
That first pic needs to go blown up and placed over a fireplace for generations to come to enjoy!!

These following lovely diddies are from my very own wedding!

We had an Old Hollywood Wedding and wanted the props to turn our venue into a vintage Hollywood back lot!

How GORGEOUS was that Casablanca suitcase!! SWOON!



Yes, that is the Coquette's grandmother in the aviator hat and goggles!
Do you see the bridesmaid in the background putting the pharaoh hat on a guest's head!!

Me imitating Audrey!! I had that all planned out!



Look at Mr. Coquette in the top hat...never mind my poker face..lol


Sailor Hats are the cat's pajamas!


No wedding is complete without a billy club.

Lawrence of Arabia!!

Hope you enjoy the inspiration Coquettes!
There are a few more ideas I would like to share but I like to keep you in anticipation!

New Obsession..




These are amazing for numerous reasons...

They are the most fabulous smelling soaps ever...
The packaging makes my heart go pitter patter..SWOON WORTHY!!!
They are from Portugal...my gorgeous hubby is from Portugal, therefore I am partial to all things Portuguese...

These would make AMAZING favors or bridesmaids gifts. If a bride got me one of these, I would pledge allegiance to her forever, no matter what her bridezilla antics would bring...
