* DIY Flower Power

Tulips are one of my favorite flowers — and I heart this arrangement because it is unique, simple, yellow, affordable and best of all … I could possibly do this myself!

The talented Jesi Haack is responsible, and blogged about this beautiful, yellow-themed wedding on her blog - check it out! Speaking of yellow, we are featuring the hot hue in our guide - in another sunny event!

There is something just so quaint, magical and heartwarming about a barnyard wedding. One Love Photo captured this elegant yet down home event — and I especially love the pie — naturally!

* Custom Invitations by Emily Charette

Posted on July 1st, 2009 by Kathy. Filed under Wedding Invitations.


Awhile ago, Margaret posted about these super cute tea-bag invitations for a baby shower.  Well, turns out that the new mom is also a super talented designer that makes fabulous invitations of her own!

Check out Emily’s portfolio at her website here - you may notice that she also designed Grammy-award-winning album cover art for Metallica.  Talk about versatile!  She really can do anything, and will definitely make your dream invitations a reality.

I am always on the lookout for unique bridesmaids gift ideas, and I just love these Marc by Marc Jacobs Star Totes! At $63, they are a steal! You could even fill them with goodies for the girls if you like!
