What could be more fun on a Thursday, than a round-up of lovely little accessories?

These first two pretties are by Lolita…

Wouldn’t these tiny flower posts be so cute as bridesmaid gifts?  The vintage rhinestone hair pins below might be the perfect touch of old-fashioned glamour. Layers of circle cut silk organza make this BHLDN shrug an absolute stunner!  There are so many romantic headpieces in Sheila Bobeldijk’s Wedzu shop, SIBO Designs.

…and these gold charm necklaces?  From one of our fashion faves, Emersonmade.

{another goodie for the maids}!
…If you haven’t yet met Whichgoose, allow me to introduce you to a world of woodland whimsy. They make things like natural, dried, keepsake boutonnieres… and ethereal, floral hair adornments. 

So many small wonders to behold…

One of my very very favorite things is lavender.  (I can’t believe I haven’t shared this yet)!  It all started when I ate the most blissful lemon lavender scone at a café one day.  Ever since then, I can’t get enough.  I love the way it smells, tastes… the look of the beautiful tiny flowers… the color… everything.  There are so many fun ways to incorporate the rustic look and aromatic essence of this herb into a wedding.  Here’s a round up of some ideas!1. Hand-tied bunches 2. Organic lavender + herb boutonniere by Emily K Botanic Studio 3. Bouquets via {here} and {here}.4. French countryside-inspired tabletop décor 5. Lavender honey lemonade via {here} 6. Lavender jar favors by ACME Party Box Company 7.  mmm and a sneak peak from next week’s real wedding of the week by Anjuli Paschall! (hanging lavender bunches)

Have a happy weekend!

P.S. If the thought of eating a lemon lavender scone sounded like the most perfect, blissful weekend plan… you can can make them!  I tried {this recipe} (without the clotted cream) and they were de-lish!

When we caught these pics over at Kiss the Groom yesterday, we thought this was a love (and collection of gorgeous images) that had to be shared. Elizabeth Messina captured the engagement of the talented and extraordinary wedding documentarians, Jose Villa and Joel Serrato. Perfection.

Sending our love and congratulations, friends… Thanks for sharing this blissful shoot! xo

This is one of my absolute favorite recipes from our archives, and I think it’s just perfect for the upcoming 4th of July holiday, or, of course, for a summery party or wedding.  These delish raspberry and pear mini pies were dreamed up by culinary genius Aran Goyoaga of Canelle et Vanille.  Get the recipe {here}!

I came across the cutest etsy shop today: stephlovesben.  Totally totally adorable.  Stephanie, the crafty gal behind this shop, makes all sorts of buntings, signs, poms and fun dessert flags.  My faves:  mini vintage fabric cake bunting, felt poms, and  the gold glitter cupcake flag.
