Give your wedding some modern flair with a trend that brides are going crazy over: Chevron. If you’re not familiar with this decorative pattern, chevron consists of zig-zags and are found in a variety of colors. Brides love the versatility and fun twist this can add when incorporated into the big day. Whether you go chevron crazy (I wouldn’t blame you) or go with just a touch, it adds the perfect finish to any decor and can be used in SO many ways!
Table runner
Opt for a chevron table runner to give the head table a unique splash of color! The subtle and simple design of the pattern will slip perfectly into the background and coordinate perfectly with virtually any centerpiece – whether it’s flowers or fruit.
Napkins
If you go with the chevron table runner, well you must go with chevron napkins as well! They help to really pull the look together and provide your nuptials with that extra touch of stylish energy. People will think they’ve walked straight into an Ikea or Urban Outfitters magazine.
Invitations
Give guests an idea of exactly what they can expect at the wedding when it comes to decor – chevron, chevron, chevron! (Can you tell I’m a fan?). I especially love this So Chevron invitation. The pattern provides the perfect backdrop for either a formal or more casual affair.
Cake
Okay, you really can’t go wrong with a patterned confection. It’s amazing what bakeries can do with chevron. Whether you opt for only a touch of zig-zags or a sweet treat filled with them, you and your guests will surely be impressed with the final result. If you’re more into cupcakes, top off your decadent desserts with a chevron-inspired heart to show your love. And don’t forget about chevron cookies! (I told you this style was versatile!)
Favor bags
Send your guests home with a little piece of your chevron-inspired wedding by giving them favor bags! Print you and your groom’s name on them with the date of your special day and add a touch of chevron in a color of your choosing. Now what you fill the bags with is entirely up to you! Brides have filled them with mints, coffee or even personalized M&Ms!

Unsure, where this should be commented but I have to share it. My fiance proposed one night after we had been at a bar drinking and during drunken sex. At first I thought he was just drunk he won’t remember in the morning. The next morning he asked me again to marry him. That is when I knew he was serious. To me it will be the funniest story ever!!!
