If you have ever visited our warehouse, you know that we are great lovers of chalkboard art. It adds a personalized touch, is a fun element for your guests and works well with any budget!  When you add a creative flair, it is no longer just a chalkboard but this humble board suddenly becomes "Wedding Art!"  Here are some favorite art pieces that we love.

Wedding Inspirations | Chalkboards

We are great lovers of using Chalkboards at a wedding.  Fancy, simple, script or block letters, a chalkboard is not only a great way to add personal style, but it also gives great directions for your guests!

Sunday Loves

Sunday is typically the day where we catch up, rest up and take it a little easy, getting ready for the week ahead.
This is a great way to start the week and remind yourself that weddings will come and go, but your love for each other should last a lifetime!

Wedding Inspiration | Chalkboard

One of our favorite trends is chalkboard - we had multiple brides who requested it last year, and even more this coming year, and the best part?  They always look different and can be used for just about anything!  Menus, Escort Board, A Photo Booth Background, Signs, Program Info, Directions, Shuttle Times, the possibilities are endless!  Here's a few examples we found recently -

In the Ames area?  Join us on Sunday from 12-3pm at the Ames Quality Inn & Suites for the Preferred Bridal Show!  More info and details here.

In the Eastern Iowa area?  Hope you've been listening to 104.5 KDAT - we teamed up with them to give away some amazing prizes!  The Iowa City Preferred Bridal Show is Feb. 17 at the IMU Main Lounge from 12-3pm.  More info and details here.

Wedding Inspirations | Signs of Love

We love weddings.  We walk, talk and breathe these wonderful events every day.
Why?  This picture [Ruffled Blog] pretty well sums us why we do what we do....

DIY Project | Signs to post

We love signs at weddings.  Not only do they let your guests know where to go and what to do, but they can be so adorable and fun, adding in personality and showing off your style.  Here are some cute ones that are downloadable.  Take them to your printer to blow up to a larger size, then mount on a foam core board, pop into a frame and you have instant style at your wedding.  Put them behind the cake table, dessert buffet, head table, guest book table, just about anywhere you need color and fun.

The nice things about is that they are just in time for Valentine's Day! To download, visit Luxe Finds
