I can’t wait to try out this project! It’s a lovely way to bring personalization to escort tags or place cards - or any kind of card, actually! All you need is a set of watercolor paints, a white crayon and some stationery. Get the full instructions.

In the mood for color?  We are!  That’s one of the reasons we were totally in awe of Miriam and Brent’s Latin-Asian fusion wedding.  Miriam runs the show at San Francisco’s elite Vidal Sassoon Salon, and this creative gal DIY’d nearly the entire wedding! A special thanks to onelove photography for sending this over.  You can catch the full feature in our Real Wedding gallery this week!

There were so many rich and stunning photos from Cari and Jared’s wedding at the Korakia Pensione in Palm Springs, well, that I had to give it to you in two posts.. (you know, to savor the wedded goodness).    Their picture-perfect ceremony  is nothing short of enviable.  Thanks to Joy Marie Photography for sending this over! ♥

Stay tuned for part two!

Here’s some vibrant inspiration for your Wednesday afternoon!  Austin-based couple, Laura and Eric, had a low key, literary-themed wedding at the sunlit Mercury Hall.  Diana M. Lott captured all of the colorful details and sweet moments of the day.

I’m totally digging the vibrant and kitschy centerpieces.. and of course how the couple made their wedding.. so them.  ♥

Clean, eye-catching and playful. I was so excited to open up this batch of images from Chelsea Fuss, who created ther perfect, modern floral centerpiece for us. ♥♥♥

They are easy to make and incredibly charming! I am loving the pattern and look of these wildflower seed favors, created by the equally charming Chelsea Fuss.

For each favor, you will need:

A square of 5″ x 5″ fabric per guest, pinking shears, embroidery floss, wildflower seeds in bulk, scissors, labels, pens, and a computer or copy machine.

How to:

Type or write (and color copy) the direction from the package on how to plant wildflower seeds.
Cut a 5″ x 5″ square of fabric with pinking shears.
Set the directions in the center.
Pour a handful of seeds in the center.
Gather the fabric together and tie with string.
Tie on a personalized label.

Enjoy!
