Project Wedding Blog

Things we heart: Anything eco-friendly to do with your big day! We just posted this precious flower favors article on PW - I think it really is the way to go if favors are a must-have on your list. Enjoy!

If you’re a fan of Project Runway, you might remember last season’s winner from Portland, Leanne Marshall.  If you’re searching for an architectural, eco-friendly, custom-made gown, look no further!  Her bridal shop website pretty much guarantees a relatively affordable wedding dress made with some Leanne love.  Also, check out her blog!  She’s so sweet.  LOVE her! <3

There’s nothing I love more than cupcakes and adorable pups! These latest, playful engagement photos from One Love Photo caught my attention, and you’ll see why!

The cute one in the middle? Apparently that is Bella!

Today’s palette is a peachy pink that makes me think of pink grapefruit, balanced with a soft moss green.

Martha Stewart always provides lots of wedding inspiration for me. Today she’s responsible for:

• The ribbon and floral boutonnieres
• The ranunculus bouquets (you know how I love ranunculus bouquets for weddings!)
• The bouquet of dahlias
• The pink table setting in the center of the board
• The pink grapefruit mojitos that I am dying to try
• The green stationery
• The pink dogwood flowers
• The cutely packaged pink and green wedding favor

The pink table setting in the top left and the gerbera daisies are both from The Knot.

The bouquet of lovely pink roses are from Costco of all places! I think they’re one of the best deals you can find on roses.

The fantastic pink candy buffet is by byrd + bleecker. They have another great pink grapefruit addition – those pink grapefruit candy slices. I love those things!

The Marilyn style sage green satin halter dress is on Amazon. It’s available in sizes XS-3x, so it’ll fit almost any bridesmaid!

The fantastic star paper lantern is by Luna Bazaar.

Don’t forget to check out my blog at Keen To Be Seen for more of my inspiration boards, ideas, and the wedding song of the day!

I love the new guide article about decorating for your wedding/shower or any event with fruit – it’s simple, elegant and energizing all at the same time! Who wouldn’t want a basket full of ripe cherries as a favor?

I am in love with gourmet cupcakes for weddings, showers, birthdays … or just because! The Cupcake blog  is amazing because it not only features every possible cupcake flavor imaginable ( the one pictured is grape) — it also contains step-by-step instructions for how to create every sweet little treat.  Why waste hundreds or likely thousands of dollars on a wedding cake? Give yourself a practice run, maybe even enlist any culinary-minded pals or bridesmaids, and you may save yourself a fortune.
