Finding Your Personal Style

Our clothes can say a lot about us. It represents who we are and how we’re feeling. One thing about our style is that it grows and changes as we do. Every day we wake up and pick out something to wear for the day. Without even thinking about it, we are showing the world our own personal style. Finding our own style can be challenging at times, but it’s about having fun and experimenting to find our identity. 

So, what’s your style? If you are having trouble finding it, here are a few tips to define your style and love your wardrobe! 

Get inspiration. First things first, research. Go through different magazines, blogs, and social media accounts to start figuring out what works best for you. Some of the most famous looks were inspired by someone else. By taking a look at the world around us, we can learn even more about ourselves. 

Experiment! This may be the most important tip of them all. Keep trying different styles, even the ones you may think you won’t like. Taking a step out of your comfort zone can lead you to discovering something you really love. If you are not finding anything that speaks to you, don’t get discouraged. You will find it! 

Focus on you. The only person that matters when it comes to finding your style is you, no one else. Focus on finding clothes that make you feel confident and powerful. Always trust your gut and go with what makes you feel your absolute best.  

Unique Wedding Guest Book Ideas

Are you tired of the traditional pen and paper guest books? You’ve come to the right place! Wedding guest books are a great way to memorialize your special day. Recently, brides have been moving away from the traditional guest book, wanting to provide their guests with something fun and unique. Keep scrolling to see different guest “book” ideas to represent your big day!

1. Polaroids

Polaroid and film photos have become very popular in recent years. Provide one or two polaroid cameras for guests to take photos. Make sure to have sharpies laying around so guests can write a note at the bottom of their picture! You can then take all the photos from your wedding and put them in a scrapbook or frame.  

2. Shadow Box

This guest book idea can also be used as a decoration. Anything can be used to fill the box, be creative! Guests can sign corks, hearts, or even bottle caps. Once everyone has filled the box, you can hang it or even keep it in on your dresser at home. 

3. Balloon Canvas

Instead of having your guests take photos or write a memory, have them engage in an activity! Fill balloons with paint that represent your wedding colors and attach them to an empty canvas. As guests arrive to the reception, they can throw a dart at a balloon. The paint splatter will then decorate the canvas, providing you with a new art piece. 

 4. Electronic Book

This idea is a great way to interact with your guests while leaving you with sentimental videos to look back on. No need to buy any fancy devices, any recording device you have would work. You could also have guests use their own cell phones to take pictures or videos. Create a wedding hashtag so guests can share their photo with you on social media! 

5. Furniture

Provide a piece of furniture you wish you have in your newlywed home. Make sure you pick a piece you don’t mind guests writing on. This is another great way to personalize your wedding while having something functional to remember your big day.
