Internship: DIY

Summer, over at Grey Likes Weddings, is such an inspiration! And I have been so pleased to intern for her. It's great! Lauren and I put together another DIY for the site...Feather Christmas Trees. So fun! Check out the post here. And while you're at it, you should sneak over to her other amazing sites, Baby and Nesting. You will not be disappointed.

Wedding: Chloe & Mark

I discovered a lovely photographer by the name of Emily Johnston Anderson the other day. She recently posted this gorgeous wedding. I absolutely love the entire wedding shoot, but the very first photo of the bride has become my favorite. Way to go, EJA Photography! Check out her blog to see the rest!

Let me introduce you...

If you are unfamiliar with the store Oeuf, let me take a moment to enlighten you. They carry some of the most adorable and sweet children's furniture, clothing, goodies, etc. And, as if their goods aren't cute all on their own, Oeuf throws in a darling child in a fantastic surrounding, that just takes the cake. Why couldn't I have things like this growing up??

Internship

So, I have been interning with Summer over at GreyLikesWeddings and she literally does everything! You should also check out her Nesting and Baby sites...she's amazing! Anyway, Lauren, the other intern, and I have taken on the task of Grey's DIY projects. Super fun, I know. We created and shot this project. Go take a look, we hope to inspire you!

Fashions for the kids at your wedding...

The charming suits and darling dresses worn by the ring bearer and flower girls are always something to "Awww" over. But Zara and J.Crew take this cuteness to a whole new level.

We are talking sequence and velvet, people! You can't deny you love this too...

Holiday Inspiration

Well, it has been quite a while since Pretty Little Inspiration has gotten love. What better way to get back into motion than with a little holiday inspired decor?!

Anthropologie never lets me down, especially around this time of year. The holiday decor is a much needed accessory to every cozy home. And did I mention the adorable gift wrap they have?? Please join me in staring at this cuteness...

And of course, we cannot forget about our friend Etsy. There is always something extra special about homemade goods.

Wedding: Black, Red & White

Ok, I saw this gorgeous table setting and was inspired to do a black, red and white theme! I think it is so posh and classy. I am mostly in love with the amount and variety of flowers on the table. I think having a candy bar at a reception is such a fun idea, so I threw in some black licorice and red and white peppermints. I could see them in a bunch of glass jars of different sizes and shapes. Fun! I love this palette! What do you think??

It has been a while since I've created an inspiration palette, but what better way to come back than with a beautiful, spring inspired board? We all know how much I love flowers, and I was inspired by these floral arrangements I found on JL Design. I could see this being an April wedding with tons and tons of brightly colored flowers all over the venue. Mmmm, so pretty. :)

P.S. How gorgeous is this Vera Wang wedding dress? I love you Vera.

Wedding Dresses!

I am in love with the bridal collection at J Crew! They are so simple, but stunningly beautiful. I'm not a huge fan of the huge, sparkly, barbie doll wedding dresses, so these really appeal to me. Did I mention they all have great prices (including a few for less than $400)? Which ones do you love?

Love Birds

I have recently fallen in love with Etsy and all the homemade goodies that come with it! As much as I love a traditional wedding, nothing is more adorable than a couple who make a wedding their own. I was looking at some fun cake toppers on Etsy and started seeing a lot of birds. I have seen this done at weddings before but there is no denying the cuteness of these little guys. Check out what I found...
