NestaHome Pillows

I'm loving on these fabulous pillows from NestaHome on Etsy. They have that rustic chic quality to them, they are personalized, and a little bit quirky. I could see them on the bride and groom's chairs, in the cocktail lounge, and wouldn't one of these be great as a gift? Love 'em!



Love, love, love!

Custom Comics

I'm a fan of anything interesting, original, and personal, and even more so if I can incorporate it into a wedding, so when I saw these custom comic strips from Mark Weber on Elsewares all I could think about was how to use this for a wedding! Your proposal story as a comic would make a great save-the-date. Or, if you know a couple well enough you could have their story told in a comic and give it to them as a wedding gift! The possibilities are endless! Neat!

Ringpillows + Headbands

Oh so pretty! I love flowers. Real, fresh, beautiful flowers. I'm not entirely fond of a silk flowers, unless they are of unbelieveably incredible quality. I quite like paper flowers if they are spectacularly simple. And, I now love felt flowers. You will too...

Amy Atlas Dessert Table

A little while ago Amy Atlas of Amy Atlas Events contacted me to let me know she had added a link to my blog from hers. Eeeep! I was so flattered with the lovely surprise! So thank you Amy! I’ve returned the favour.

In case you don’t know, the incomparable Amy Atlas is an event planner from New York City that specializes in candy and dessert tables. I did a feature on Amy back in October which you can revisit here :: Her Mod, Candy Shop, Birthday, and Bridal Brunch dessert tables. ~sigh~

I visited Amy’s website yesterday and noticed she added some photos to her gallery and naturally I couldn’t resist posting them! This table was created for Claudia Hanlin’s The Wedding Library.

How sweet it is!

Detail :: Boy's Ring Girl's Wrist

I came across the loveliest idea! This comes from the wedding of peonies.and.polaroids. Determined to do what felt right, she and her betrothed liked the idea of each looking after the other’s ring until the ceremony. They were never able to understand how or why the best man* came to be in possession of the wedding rings, or a four year old boy*, or a dog for that matter*!

As there weren’t any pockets on her dress trying it around her wrist seemed like the best idea. She had someone tie it on just before the ceremony so there wasn't time for the knot to come undone and for her to lose it, then when we get to the ring exchange The Boy helped her untie it.

*Forever diplomatic I would like to state that there is nothing wrong with these ideas! Just one girl’s opinion.

Ribbon Wands

Close your eyes and remember back to when you were a little girl. You were dressed in one of your prettiest dresses; you looked down and noticed a wink of sunlight dancing on your new patent leather Mary-Janes. There was a slight breath of a breeze, the air smelled like sweet peas and you were twirling and twirling until you fell to the grass, giddy and giggly.

Do you remember that frolicsome and frivolous, precocious and pure, sweet and simple fun? That is what these ribbon wands remind me of.

What a wonderful gift for a little girl you know. Perhaps you have a flower girl or two you need the perfect gift for. Perhaps you need one for yourself, or the little girl in you.

The Ribbon Wand Shop is the creation of Nikki Workman. You can check out her shop on Etsy or visit her blog. She took a little break over the summer but her shop re-opened September 1st. Stay tuned for new and fabulous designs!

Wonderful Graffiti :: Ideas

In browsing around the Wonderful Graffiti website I found wedding inspriation almost everywhere, in every product line and gallery ::

Photobucket

Graffiti Monograms can be used in so many ways for your wedding :: they've used them here on clear acetate boxes to house your favour treats; they used them on a window in my earlier post about the New Chocolate Collection; I think they would also work well on wine glasses; on a charger if you had a clear plate to place over it...

This second image came from the Wonderful Graffiti Walls of Fame gallery, a selection of their favourite customer photos. This picture really stood out because this was the First Dance song at a wedding I was at recently. Wouldn't this be fantastic on the wall near your dance floor, or on the dance floor! {The song is Lullaby by the Dixie Chicks.}

Photobucket

This wordsearch from the Chalkboard Graffiti collection is my newest favourite thing. Love, love, love! {I want it for my kitchen.} This board has 'welcome' in red and then the thoughtful people at Wonderful Graffiti will work in the names of your friends or most likely dinner guests. Fantastic no? I'm thinking this would be an adorable surprise for your wedding guests if you had their names hidden in this word search - perhaps if you had a small guest list? Super sweet. I wonder if you could work in their table number... hmmm...

The big "Hello" is from Wonderful! Designs. And Wonderful! they are! This big "hello" or perhaps "welcome" could also greet your guests as they enter the reception.

Photobucket

This is another Graffiti Monogram on the chair. It would be great with your monogram. But wouldn't it also be great if you put your guest's name on their chair? Or on their wineglass? Very sophisticated place 'cards'!

The last image is a Blank Canvas. Wonderful Graffiti will print anything that you send them and create a canvas for you. The best thing about this product is that it's more permanent than the rest, whatever you choose to create can become art for your home.

This canvas has a recipe on it, which I love {of course} but I think the most "Wonderful" thing you could do would be to have your vows printed and put on canvas. Especially if you hand write them. Should you and your groom be keeping your vows a secret you could send them in separately and have the finished product sent to a trusted friend or your wedding planner. They would be great hung up at the welcome table, or behind you at the head table. Then, they can forever hang in your home, reminding you of those very precious words of love you spoke the day you were married. I'd love to have this done with our vows and have them hang in our bedroom.

I hope I've provoked some ideas or inspiration for you :: how would you use Wonderful Graffiti?

Wonderful Graffiti :: Graffiti 3D

Wonderful Graffiti has more than just weddings items. I spent quite a bit of time browsing around their entire website and fell hopelessly in love with numerous items. My very, very favourite item is in the Graffiti 3D suite, the Dots Monogram. The design is made up of several brushed aluminum dots {pictured in the centre} ::

Wouldn't the 'Cocktails, anyone?" be perfectly fantastic for your cocktail hour?

I Heart Knubbig.... What?

Who doesn't love Ikea? And all of the wonderfulness you can find there?

My current objects of affection are these resplendent little table lamps – Knubbig. They come in two different sizes; the little one is the size of your two hands together. They are about $10 and $17.

I would really like to use them on the patio at the wedding I’m doing on the 13th of July. Then I don’t have to worry about the candles in the wind. Hmmmm….

Photobucket

And, if one could remove the electrical, you could put a candle in there as an alternative. Hmmm....

Heart-y Place Card Holders

Aren't these sweet? They come in a set of four heart shaped magnets; two connect to hold a place card. Wouldn't these chrome lovelies be perfect? Daintily marking the top of each place setting at your wedding?
