Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer and the official start of BBQ and picnic season! While many of our couples opt for formal weddings, there is a trend towards planning more casual wedding celebrations. No matter the formality, we love working with couples to plan their perfect and personalized wedding in the Washington, DC region. Picnic weddings are especially timely if a couple is planning to celebrate their wedding over Memorial Day weekend or during the summer. Today we are sharing picnic wedding inspiration, our work was recently included on Inspired By This, 17 Picnic Inspired Weddings Perfect for Summer. Today’s post has us ready for summer and picnic weddings!
1. Is there anything cuter than these individual dessert mason jars with red and blue labels?! It’s a great option for dessert or a take-home favor at your wedding celebration.
