Inspiration

Surfing the internet this morning, I stumbled across a wedding that I thought was completely beautiful. The photographs speak for themselves. The couple is Sarah and Mike and photographer is Leigh Miller. The photos, the simple decor, the couple...everything is amazing! Please click on the link for more photos: Leigh Miller.

Fushia and Taupe er Tan: Martha Summer 2008

Leave it to Martha to make me want to expand our current wedding palette. Back in the naive days of a Valentines wedding, I was pretty set on pink and red for our wedding. I won't lie, Martha was responsible for that too. I saw her spread on pink and poppy last spring and really loved it. And here she is throwing in fushia and this gray/tan color!

DIY Cakestands

I saw this idea on Design*Sponge about a month or so ago and I thought it was absolutely brilliant! What an inexpensive and resourceful way to decorate your wedding reception. There is a bit of a myth that you have to drop loads of cash to have a nice wedding. To me, being creative is the key to a unique wedding. These are just vases/candlesticks with plates glued on top.

I love them for a dessert table or as centerpieces on tables. What I'm imagining is taking some florist foam balls and putting flowers in them, like a flower ball? And placing them on top of these plates. How cute would that be? The ideas are pretty endless. If you start scouring yard sales and thift stores now you can make a bunch of these for under $20! So cute.
