* Sweet Little Bunting Favors

Posted on November 23rd, 2010 by Jeannie. Filed under Do It Yourself, Favors.


Here’s a sneak peek at a new project created for us by Victoria Hudgins! The idea? Giving guests a little piece of your wedding palette in the form of tiny bunting favors! Obviously this appeals to me, since I used them on a cake at my wedding. They are just adorable and clever.

* I ♥ this.

Posted on November 23rd, 2010 by Kate. Filed under Things we heart.


So, after I heard about Wedzu the other day… I’ve been hooked.  It’s an awesome online marketplace for wedding-related handmade goods… brilliant!  I was poking around and just loved the stuff in Crafty Clementine’s shop.  This artist creates cake stands from eclectic pieces and fabric-wrapped votives that make for very pretty favors…
