Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam recently posted her wedding pictures (by Silvana Difranco) and I cannot get over how perfect the event looked. There are massive, lush, weeping willow trees in the background, just the right amount of pink splashes on the tables and chairs, and well, she looked like a billion bucks (per usual). There’s nothing I love more than seeing a joyful looking bride and groom!
Snack bars at weddings are pretty standard issue nowadays. However, I normally see the goodies being shuffled onto plates or into little clear plastic bags. I was so pleased when I saw these cupcake-to-go boxes on The Sweetest Occassion. Isn’t that a great idea? I think that the yellow chevron tablecloth was the icing on the {cup}cake!
Unrelated to snack bar boxes, but amazing nonetheless: these confetti invites. Aren’t they gorgeous?
I’ve got babies on my mind (no, not like that). It’s just that everywhere I go, there are pregnant women. There really must be something in the water. Anyway, I saw the cutest baby announcement on Oh So Beautiful Paper, then did some digging and found other gems. I’m obsessed. Stationary really is my favorite thing ever. I wonder how baby Pierson (here and here) will be announced to the world.
I was in Austin last week, NYC over the weekend, and going to Chicago in a few days, yet I cannot shake this feeling of wanderlust. In my morning daydream state, I remembered one of my favorite Mark Twain quotes: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
I’m in a very nautical mood, which is appropriate given that I’d love to be spending my early fall months somewhere like the Hamptons or Nantucket. See inspiration below.
And last, but not least: Sarah Vickers of Classy Girls Wear Pearls. You simply cannot do a nautical post without mentioning her.
As you already know, it’s New York Fashion Week (#nyfw). This year, my Instagram has been filled with pictures of shows, street fashion, and swag bags (so jealous, you have no idea). Emily Schuman of Cupcakes and Cashmere recently posted a picture of the Michael Kors lucite invitation, and I was so taken aback by its beautiful simplicity (and uniqueness!). I did some scouring of the internet, and found other examples of lucite (or plexiglass) invitations. What a creative idea! It’s not really my cup-of-tea since I love stationary so much, but I still think they’re wonderful.
