5 Ways to use a swing in your wedding

Wait what? A swing? Like the ones you swung on a playgrounds with? Yup- a swing may just be the hottest new wedding accessory for 2015 (ok fine, actually wheelbarrows are the hottest new wedding accessory but we will come to that at a later time) . Considering that there are only two types of people in this world- those that love swings and those that like swings, we think its a great little detail to include in your wedding day decor.   #1. Use it as a bridal jhoola on your mehendi

Mehendi jhoolas come in all shapes and sizes but we loved the ultra chic, wrought iron circular jhoola above.   #2. Drape it in florals and hang it from a tree for an ultra romantic photo op   Left: Photo by Madeline Druce. From the Album: Fairytale Engagement .

You may have to steady your hands a bit while cutting through but swinging cakes? Yes please.

  4. Use it over the main dining table

Hanging installations are all the rage and when a bunch of florals are put atop hanging swings above the dining table, it paints a beautiful picture

5. Use swings for seating

Having a small beach side mehendi or pool party? Get rid of formal seating and create large beds on wooden swings for your guests to rest on
