So… no one’s suggesting you plan a Taylor Swift inspired wedding per se, but wouldn’t it be fun to sneak in a few T.S. ideas into it?
Yeah, I think so too.
Swifties get it. :)
Now, from a wedding planning standpoint, there’s a fine [RED!] line when it comes to adding a few creative touches without it looking like a full-on theme, and you still want your big day to resemble a wedding.
But you can still sprinkle in a little TSWIFT magic while keeping it subtle. And I’ll show you how to add Taylor Swift to your wedding with a little fandom.
In this blog post, you’ll see the craftiest ways to add Taylor Swift wedding ideas into your celebration: getting ready, reciting your vows, decorating, crafting your gift registry, the whole nine yards! I think you’ll appreciate these tips as you give a nod to your favorite artist, while still celebrating the most romantic wedding celebration. There’s also some fun gifts you’ll discover along the way.
PLUS, these are all made BY Swifties, FOR Swifties, all handmade with love by small businesses! Yay!
So… this leads me to ask, “Are you ready for it?” ;)

There are so many to choose from, but this Lover piano song will give you a little inspiration. His piano playing is amazing.

• QUARTET OF PAPER RINGS: Or how about this beautiful upbeat quartet version of Paper Rings? Sensational! Great for co*cktail hour, too.
• ORCHESTRA VIDEO: I get chills when I listen to this orchestra version. Granted, you probably won’t have an orchestra unless you’re Taylor Swift herself, but this is amazing anyway. :)

Do this with caution… if it looks good on you, go for it! If not, don’t try to make it a statement on your wedding day because you’ll feel unlike yourself. :)
I’ve been hearing a lot about people cutting bangs, too, after seeing the film. Don’t do it unless you are willing to commit! This is coming from someone who has cut her own bangs in the past and regretted it. ;)
But that signature red lip? It never goes out of style. And it’s a perfectly sweet, secret nod.
I did the research for you and apparently this red lipstick has awesome staying power (and tons of happy reviews):
