pretty little things: apples to apples

This placecard presentation is so perfect for an autumn wedding. I love how the colour of the apples echo the red doors standing in the back! As we transition into fall I hope to bring you more and more autumn-inspired weddings, so consider this a sneak peek!

create: hanging door monogram

These days couples are finding ways to put their monogram on everything, from their invitations to their cake, the favours, and even the aisle runner! I am particularly fond of these hanging door monograms simply because you can bring your own style in how you design and present them.

sunday feature: flittering flutterbys!

Our long-awaited Sunday feature brings you delicate transparent butterfly accents for your cake (or cupcakes!), centerpieces, or however you choose to use them. They've been made rather popular by a butterfly cake in the Martha Stewart magazine, and I can see why! These are created by the talented Kariene of Clear Cut Crafts. Below are a few of my personal favourites, enjoy!

pretty little things: woodsy and whimsical

Heather Balliet of Amorology Weddings recently posted a gorgeous tablescape that I fell in love with. Her work is incredibly detailed, every little part adds significantly to the greater whole. The cute fabric snails are created by Jenn Clark of Pincushion Princess, again, just excellent! Below is a quote from Heather that was so fitting and conveyed her passion for what she does so well:
" I love that moment after a rainfall when you step outside and the sun has begun to shine and the grass is still wet and sparkly and everything looks a little cleaner and brighter than usual. Even the flowers seem more alive! I too see marriage being the beginning of something new, as beautiful as the earth after rain, living and breathing with life, hope, and possibility."

create: vintage tea tin lighting

I love learning about creative ways to repurpose everyday items and today's example is no exception. To create these shabby chic lights all you need are: tea tins, wire, low wattage lamp kits, pretty crystals, and a drill. I especially adore the light-colored middle one, the pattern on it is gorgeous!

pretty little things: garden lights and blooms

These are ordinary yet unordinary. Rustic vase alternatives add character to a wedding.

A pretty garden setting is all one needs--imagine this place filled with soft, glorious lighting as the sun sets. Ivory candles and natural paper lanterns would be so romantic!

Lights hanging at different heights make the simplicity of this table wonderfully inviting. Note how they are all different shapes and sizes!
