We adore this couples’ use of bottle caps to make beer-inspired boutonnieres. The hops and barley accents tie the rustic look together.

Moscow mules are an old-fashioned drink that can now be found on the menus of the nation’s best cocktail bars. The simple combination of vodka, ginger beer, and lime is a refreshing crowd-pleaser at any wedding…and the mugs make great gifts for guests!

For summer weddings, suspenders make so much sense. The groomsmen stay cool, both figuratively and literally. Suspenders fit perfectly in a mountain settings and bring back the style from a bygone era.

In 2014, burlap was everywhere from table runners to banners to buffet accents. The cool, casual, down-home vibe perfectly suits outdoorsy couples tying the knot. We have a feeling it’s not going anywhere in 2015.
