Need inspiration? Take a peek at this.

Remember my mention of Australia's Wedding Style Guide last week? Well, the full issue is unbelievably creative and worth purchasing if you're in need of inspiration. The featured weddings range from sweet to schoolhouse chic, and I adore every one of them. You can purchase the full magazine here.

The Wedding Style Guide.

I'm thrilled to share these images from the newest issue of the Wedding Style Guide with you! My scalloped circle table numbers have been featured, and the reception table the editors put together looks so soft, fresh and pretty.

The magazine is printed in Australia, but brides-to-be can purchase a digital edition online. There is also a beautiful (and free!) look book worth checking out. Love that it suggests Pimm's No. 1 cups as a signature drink. They're my fave. Enjoy!

Ever since I upgraded to a big beast of a vintage letterpress this winter, I've been cranking out the goodies. Can you tell?

Personalize your cakes + cupcakes.

How great are these cake and cupcake decorations from Andie's Specialty Sweets? I've been wanting to make a gnome inspired cake for awhile now and think her little toadstools would be the perfect addition. You can also find gorgeous sugar daisies and vintage buttons that would be oh-so-lovely for a wedding cake. Take a look...
