That magical time of the year…Girl Scout Cookie Season! They were stars at this year’s Oscars. Why not use your favorite treat (and everyone else's!) as wedding inspiration? Here are a few chic ways to turn your favorite cookie into a hit at the reception.
CREATE CUSTOM WEDDING-WORTHY FAVORS
Replace the standard "mint to be" peppermints or packets of Jordan almonds with something that will truly surprise guests. Whether your favorites are Thin Mints® or Trefoils®, you can get a few boxes from your local troop and create small batches for personalized tins or treat boxes. This ensures that every guest goes home with a sweet memory of your day.
THE DARLING OF THE DESSERT TABLE
There’s no need to stop with favors. Use your favorite Girl Scout Cookie as inspiration for tiers of unique cupcakes at the reception, a surprising doughnut table or even your groom's cake flavor! Consult with your favorite baker or pastry chef to create something truly original. Want more inspiration? Take a look at the stylish ideas the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta put together on Pinterest.)
DESIGN AN IRRESISTIBLE DISPLAY FOR THE KIDS TABLE
Of course, adults aren’t the only ones who love these trademarked treats. Have some fun with jewel tone accents along the kids’ table to match the memorable boxes. Or, make themed place settings with cookie-shaped escort cards, printed watercolor place mats featuring your favorite cookies and coordinating, pastel dinnerware. Your nieces, nephews and friends will be charmed by your creativity. For once, guests will be trying to get a seat at the kids’ table!

White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown. Select this lovely little link to read an in-depth article featured in Brides that highlights the history of Queen Victoria’s choice to wear a white wedding dress.
Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
