While it’s true that Instagram is one of our favorite places to hang out these days, it also happens to be where I spend a lot of my APW time: finding the most awesome non-cheesy wedding stuff the team can track down, and then sharing it with you. Last month, Maddie pulled our faves for you to enjoy and you guys liked everything so much that we decided we’re going to keep doing it each month. Because some things, like this drool-worthy creation that is both donut and cake, deserve more than a double tap. P.S. You’ll be real mad at yourself if you don’t follow this link to the whole shoot on Alanna Jones Mann’s blog where you can learn make things like pizza cake and basically fall down a cake-hole into DIY baking dreams.

There’s no shortage of #Proposal stories on Instagram… but every once in a while I see one that makes me stop in my tracks. She shaved a ring into her HEAD. Listen up, diamond rings, because you just got served. (Photo by Go West Photo via On A Bicycle Made For Two)
I’ve quickly learned (and become a fan of) the APW one-and-done decor philosophy (aka using big impact decor instead of lots of tiny things that take hours to complete and then tossed aside as soon as your guests sit down). But one-and-done that you can also keep for your living room? Yeah, that sounds like a good way to justify spending some of that wedding money on buying cool stuff for your house. I mean, if you’re gonna be spending it anyway, right? Wink wink. (Chairs by Paisley & Jade; photo by Stephanie Yonce Photogaphy)
Is it just me or does this wildflower beaker setup feel like an awesome centerpiece idea? Bonus points if you’ve got wildflowers near your venue that you can pick the day of. (Photo by With Lavender and Lace on Instagram)
These napkins are both functional and entertaining. The one on the bottom will guarantee all the veggies get eaten, no? (Photo by Corinne Krogh)
OK, I know these aren’t explicitly wedding related, but they’re basically like a bouquet for your phone and that feels close enough. Also, they’re super cool. So there’s that. (Pressed flower phone cases by With Lavender and Lace via Moorea Seal)
The colors of these rock candy cake stands are giving me ’90s flashbacks in the best way. (Cake stands by Imm Living available via Burke Decor)
APW sponsor Winston & Main made this floral heart backdrop for a recent wedding, and I don’t think I’m alone in wanting to know… when do we get to see this wedding? And also, where do we get one of these? (Photo by Winston & Main on Instagram)
When we started #Weddingpetwednesdays, I figured dogs in flower crowns was as awesome as it could get. But nope. Even bunnies get flower crowns. Pro-tip: all bunnies should wear these at all times. (Photo by The Forest Cantina)
