Hey Wedding Lady
Wedding tips, tricks, and straight up pretty

Odd request for an inspiration board(didn't know if you were still bored and looking for requests or not), but "The Olympics." My boyfriend and I met while obsessing over it and it brings us even closer together with more and more fantastic memories every time. I figured, since the time has come once again, maybe you could show me what an Olympics Wedding(maybe even proposal?) might possibly look like. (We're "Team USA" if it matters any.)

I won’t lie, this one was a challenge! I was actually really stumped for a bit, but I ended up talking it over with some friends and they gave me some wonderful ideas so I hope you like it!
Instead of going with the really obvious Olympic or country colors, I thought it would be neat to add in some metallic elements to represent the medals, and I love the laurel wreath necklace as a throw back to the origins of the Olympics. Work in lawn games for guests to play, and give out ribbons and medals to the winners, or come up with unique awards like ‘Best Save in Heels’ or ‘Most Unusual Tie’.
Name each table after a country you and your boyfriend have loved to cheer for and have escort cards shaped like passports to personalize your tables. While I don’t recommend having open flames for centerpieces, play with lanterns and candles on the tables to represent the Olympic torch. I love this ‘Gold Medal’ cake or you could have an international dessert buffet with some All-American apple pies to represent Team USA!
