A couple's engagement session is usually the beat that sets the tone for everything else to follow and when it is created with love and great style then you know the upcoming nuptials will follow suit. If you remember our sweet couple Sarajane & Nick's Charming Oregon Engagement Session photographed beautifully by Captured by Corrin, you will probably remember balloons, balloons, and more balloons paired with a very happy duo and perhaps a hint of blush & beige that foreshadowed their upcoming 'I Dos' then you know exactly what we mean when you see how amazing their summer nuptials were.

Pastel colors are always a spring to summer trend that doesn't overpower, so it can translate throughout the entire wedding. In this case- the couple opted for a blush, beige, mint color palette used in the lush blooms for the bridal bouquet + centerpieces. These gorgeous hues were subtle with the perfect twist of masculine to incorporate in the groom's look along with our favs, the candy buffet and cake.

Secret fact- this is actually a DIY wedding created by the bride and her mother. This fun fact probably made you look twice, but that is a great thing being that the details are too well crafted to be seen as DIY. So how do you get the look?

Chalkboard Details
Chalkboard details are one of the most sought out trend. Why, you ask? Because they can be incorporated into any theme with the help of a few details. For an outdoor soirée like Sarajane & Nick's a thick wood border and some burlap details will do the trick. Of course, these materials can be found at your local arts & crafts store so they're stress free and easy DIY projects to bond over with your gal pals.

Take this look a step further and do without the chalkboard and only incorporate the frame as a way to hang engagement photos.

If you're looking for style and beauty without breaking the bank then you might want to call out the frugal goddess within you because we've got news for her.... baby's breath is making its comeback and it's doing it with stride. S + N incorporated baby's breath throughout their big day, which gave their ceremony and reception a cohesive-stylish vibe. But, it wasn't limited to just ceremony decor and centerpieces it was always incorporated into the bridal bouquet + bridesmaids bouquets and the stunning wedding cake.

Cost efficiency is key when planning a wedding. Reduce the cost by adding cupcakes to a smaller tiered cake. Both economical and totes adorable.

Burlap is another hard hitting trend known to suit every style and theme. It can transform any room from ordinary to fabulous all you need is a little creativity. Burlap is a great detail that will look amazing being carried throughout your big day, just like this lovely duo incorporated burlap into a wedding bouquet wrap and the decor details on guest tables. This is of course, a trend we absolutely love so check out a few more bits of inspiration here.
