Floral trends come and go, but every so often a new bloom (or branch) steals the spotlight. This season, smoke bush has become the unexpected star of wedding design. Its dreamy, cloud-like texture paired with statement flowers like lilies creates lush, dimensional arrangements that feel both modern and romantic. While roses and peonies will always have their place, smoke bush adds an edge that feels fresh, original, and unforgettable.

The ceremony may be about tradition, but the reception is about freedom, fun, and personality. That is exactly why more and more brides are swapping their gowns for a second look, and loving every minute of it.

We love a good guest favor, but only if it’s useful. Skip the trinkets that end up in junk drawers and think about favors that tie to your story.
