fuzzy about flowers

There's something so nice about a really tactile bouquet. Something soft and delicate, like the inside of a kitten's ear. I like the Icelandic Poppies for that reason, they feel like peaches. The greenery bouquet is nice too, although after thinking on it, I've decided that it would be awesome to have a bouquet made entirely out of sage leaves and ribbon. It would be sooo soft and silvery green, and it would smell so comforting. Someone try it out and send me photos! The above pics are from a wonderful book I have called Bridal Bouquets by Jane Durbridge. The cotton ball bouquet is from Brides Magazine, the special reception issue. (Joy also likes this bouquet)

shoooooos

My sister says that I've been neglecting shoes... so here goes.
Top row: Vera Wang Jeweled Sandals, Malia by Nina, Lillie by rsvp.
Middle row: Davina by J. Renee, Flo by Nina, Jubilee by Caparros.
Bottom row: Megan by J. Renee, Pom Pom sandals by Vera Wang, Julep by J. Renee.
The Vera Wang Pom Pom Sandals in the bottom row look so beautiful on. The "Megan" and the "Julep", also in the bottom row, have just a hint of color and would be very subtle under a long dress. Think of either of these styles as jewelry for your feet! I'm also totally in love with the Jubilee, in the middle row, I'm picturing them with something tea length.

me and ro

Me and Ro's beautiful take on nuptual jewelry. Sometimes I think the dangly ring thing is tacky. This time, I don't. I love that all these pieces have slightly exotic feel without being too far afield.

lingerie please. hold the ruffles.

Marabou? No thanks. Leather? Not today. More ruffles than a bag of square dancers? Hmmmmm, NO. How about flattering, pretty, and comfortable? Yes please, I'll take 2!

random doodlings

Hi all. I just wanted to let everyone know that I've posted a new section called Sketchbook... over there, in the menu on the right. See it? I thought you might like to see what I do, when I'm not making pretty wedding invitations or blogging, or making giant paper poppy pomanders, (which by the way, are going very well since I've figured out a quicker way to make the flowers).
*Just a warning, my drawings have little or nothing to do with weddings, they're just some of my doodlings.*

blogger be damned!

Well! That was NOT cute. I just wrastled with blogger all morning. I was trying to post savor the favor! once... one time, but somehow managed to post it 9 times. I just now managed to erase all the extraneous postings. Damn it Blogspot! Why? I hate it when we fight.

savor the favor!

I found these adorable favors at White Aisle, a great stop for gifts, favors, jewelry, purses and any number of other things bridal.
I think the chopstick idea is so cute. My Mr. and I used them at our wedding. We tied them with a ribbon and a tag with our initials. The tag said, "We work better as a pair" Get it? Because chopsticks AND married people do work better as a pair! It was cute. Everyone said so.

*I just noticed that I say "cute" allllll the time. I'm trying to cut back. Call me on it.*
