Fabric Invites

I really enjoy unique wedding invitations (ours featured here) – the recent trend that has caught my eye is having fabric invitations and/or save-the-dates. Whether it be a screen pressed invitation, a fabric pouch for the paper, or a custom printed handkerchief, the different material adds a special element to the set. I’ve put together some of my favorite examples below, including a site where you can order all sorts of custom fabric invitations for a very reasonable price. Click here to shop.

Wedding Hair Inspiration

When I was in Napa a month ago, I did my hair and makeup trial. I loved my makeup, and at the time, really liked my chignon updo. However, after looking at photos and showing it to my friends and family, everyone has agreed that it’s not really me. So, I created a Pinterest account and started scouring the site for inspiration. The photos above are some of my favorites. How did you pick your hair style?

Southern Bali

As you may know from here, we’re going on our honeymoon to Bali in December. I’ve already bought a travel book that I’m going through page-by-page, learning about the history, food and traditions of Indonesia. I was inspired to book the trip after seeing these pictures of Ubud on Entouriste. Recently, another set of Bali pictures were posted – my favorites are below. I seriously cannot wait! How gorgeous is Vicki’s photography?

Rifle Paper Co. Hostess Gifts

Two of Mum’s friends threw me a wedding shower on Sunday, so I bought/made them little ‘thank you’ gifts. For my last shower, I went with a “Thanks a Latte” theme for the presents. However, for this shower, I was totally inspired by everything Rifle Paper Co, so I bought the Rosalie notepad and Gold Floral thank you card, which I paired with a muslin bag from Paper Source. I tied everything together with some of my favorite yard, added a monogram label (bought here) and added a gift card to one of our favorite (and local!) restaurants – Jonathan’s the Rub. I love this stuff so much!
