1} Ribbons and bows and candles, oh my! With our short Midwestern summers, take advantage of the warmth while it lasts with a shaded, outdoor celebration.
2} For homegrown bridesmaid bouquets, tie a variety of ribbons around the herb feverfew.
3} Colored glass pairs well with tall candles for a DIY look that’s anything but hodge-podge.
4} Stationer Dena Swenson designed these Badger State-friendly invitations, featuring a sweetly soft color palette.
5} Short flower arrangements by Studio Fleurette allow guests to “ooh” and “ahh” over your décor without halting across-the-table conversations.
6} Sneak off into the sunset in a carriage fit for two.
7} A rustic desk (sand down a garage sale find for a similar look) decorated with bunting draws attention to a yummy display of locally churned cheeses.
8} Your guests will know exactly where to sit with these cute-as-a-button place cards.
9} Highlight the romance of Wisconsin’s back roads—while stealing a moment with your Mr.—on a just-for-two stroll.
10} A signature drink pours easily into glass mugs, which prompt plenty of glass-clinking toasts.
11} A bundle of dried rye makes for a subtly stunning bridal
bouquet. Who knew?
12} To encourage your guests to write down their well wishes, place a vintage typewriter at your welcome table.
13} Nothing says “Wisconsin” louder than a plate of cheese, like this arrangement by Cady Cheese. Label the varieties for easy sampling.
