Hi brides and grooms, it’s Lauren here from I Love Love Events, and I’m so very excited about this post today! Of course here at Something Turquoise, we are OBSESSED with personal details, and at I Love Love Events, that’s just the kind of thing we specialize in, so it’s a match made in heaven! Everyone has a place that’s near and dear to their heart, and today I’ve rounded up 15 ways to display your state pride at your wedding. Whether it’s your home state, the place you met, or the spot where you’re building your life together, (or maybe all three!) we all have that connection in some form, why not call it out and use your decor to tell your story. Your day can be just a little more special and a little more personal when your details are all about you. You don’t have to have an entire state themed wedding to pay homage to your favorite place, you can add just one subtle detail to make an impact… which of the ideas below is your favorite?
