"I do", Round Two

 
Saying "I do." for the second time can bring with it a lot of mixed emotions. Here at Scout we get you, and we mean that literally. Let your second wedding be that of utter pesonality, this time around you know what you are doing and you know what the most important part of a wedding should be! This time, take the reins and take charge. Don't be shy about celebrating. It's OK to register a second time, it's OK to have a shower. This is still a big moment in your life, and there is nothing wrong with honoring it and enjoying the moment. One of the best things you can do for your second wedding is to buck tradition and do things differently. Wear a dress in your favorite color, skip the white. Skip the lace and long train, and include a distinctive fashion element such as an incredible piece of heirloom jewelry. Replace the more traditional protocol such as garter and bouquet toss with a special presentation of the bouquet to an honored guest. And don't forget the decor that Scout Supply Co. can provide for you. Your party, intimate dinner or all out dance fest you as a couple create can be made possible and unique with Scout.

Locust Street Market Design Job




 
 
We can't do much about the fluorescent lighting but we can make the walls a bit more interesting. At Scout we spent many hours folding old readers digest books into sculptural wall hangings. Time life warner's, "The Greatest Generation" books add pops of color and pattern. Yesterday I watched people walk up and down the stairs and stop to look and touch and give their compliments. Remember that not only do we have design services here at Scout but we have the ability to rent out props and décor. From weddings, parties, and even your front window for your business Scout is here and ready.

A Storybook kind of Love

 
Aren't these fall hues dreamy? I am sure that the stories are lovely inside but the colors are what get me. From the blues in the sky to the almost red clay color on the bottom, any of these colors would compliment your fall event plans and décor needs.
 
 
How can a bunch of old book tie into your big day? The way we see it here at Scout Supply Co. your story begins together and in the process of saying "yes" you are continuing your story. Your love story. As centerpieces old books can translate your feelings to the décor for all your guest to enjoy.

 
I loved the idea of not only using the books as centerpieces but also using tape in a graphic way to accent your tables and arranged seating with the numbers right on the books.

The Scout Brand


 
 

 
It was a July day back in 2003, a red barn, the rolling bluffs and hills of Root River country and there was a wedding. A DIY country wedding. Fit with a white peaked tent, prairie flowers in bell jars, white paper lanterns, and twinkle lights in every tree. It was my wedding and my vision had come together. There were many little details that I stressed and pained over, too many to mention, I did it all on my own. I found the resources and rentals and plates myself and it was tough! There were certainly no where near as many resources as there are today. I enjoyed and reveled over that experience and even though I am late to the party, that being the hipster DIY party, I still have that same vision and drive. In some ways I was early because no one had ever been to a wedding quite like it. My goal here at Scout is to bring that DIY sprit to your next event and photo shoot. Helping you to stand out in the sea of trendy weddings and looks. Thinking beyond "popular at the moment" Scout can translate your vision into a classic and timeless event in your life. Here at Scout we will go above and beyond to make sure your moments visually fit your style. Let us start a conversation today and let Scout be part of your story.

Inventory

Did you know here at Scout we have a variety of things that you may not have thought of as décor? We have many pieces in our inventory that translate well to events and vintage inspired themes. Functional pieces such as an old whimsical wooden ironing board turned bar top, to antler sheds as simple and almost abstract centerpiece accents, to bare bones lamp shades hanging from trees with Edison light bulbs, to discarded and perfectly tarnished glided mirrors to accent your table tops and candles perfectly. Here at Scout we are available to consult and help you dream up ways to infuse a little vintage and style into your next event.
