Maggie + Charlie.

Just dropping in to share another beautiful wedding that incorporated my scalloped circle table numbers into their reception. I love the way Maggie & Charlie's wedding is sophisticated and sweet all at the same time. Be sure to click above to see the entire gallery of photos by Kortnee Kate Photography at Style Me Pretty. I especially adore the giant "E" they used as a photo prop. Congrats Maggie & Charlie!

Amy + Brett.

I'm flattered to be part of Amy & Brett's beautiful wedding as featured on Style Me Pretty! Amy asked me to create navy scalloped circle table numbers for her, and I think they fit into their reception decor just perfectly. Be sure to take a look at the entire gallery photographed by Orchard Cove Photography (linked above). All of the photos are so lovely. Congrats Amy & Brett!

Etsy find: Props.

Since it's Friday, I can't think of a better time for a fun Etsy find! Little Retreats sells photo booth props to sass up any wedding or party. I particularly love the glasses and mustache combo. Think I'm going to find a way to work them into this year's holiday party... Have a great weekend!

Etsy find: Bunting from Big Day.

How darling are these mini flags from Big Day? Imagine decorating a cake with them, stringing them along the front of a candy buffet, or just holding them in photos... The possibilities are endless!

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!

Looking for cute + affordable placecards?

I'm excited to share a new batch of goodies with you today. These placecards are a great solution for couples working on a budget. Simply order the design you like, grab a nice pen and write your guests names and table numbers... or hire a calligrapher to do the dirty work for you. Guest names and table numbers can be digitally printed for you for an additional fee. Contact me for details. =)

High time for pie.

Not a fan of cake, or do you have a family recipe you want to share with family and friends? Why not serve pie at your reception? Here are several cute ideas for displaying and decorating your big day treats. I especially love Lily's Apple Pie Pops. Yum! Have a swell weekend!

November.

Well, it's November 1 and here in Seattle, it's pouring outside. I'm never a fan of this month as it tends to rain non-stop and can feel a bit grim as a result. I hope to have my hands full with a few projects to create a distraction. =)

Anyhow, wouldn't a fall-inspired dessert buffet be lovely for a November wedding, or even Thanksgiving? Sweet Table Chicago put together this stunning look. I just love the pie-inside-of-a-dome, the sweet glasses of cider and the macarons. It's all too tempting and pretty.

Marshmallow favors.

When I was in Paris this spring, I purchased many a handmade flavored marshmallow. The verdict? They're delicious and fun. When I saw Oh Yum's cute shop earlier this week, I thought that these tasty treats could also make great wedding favors. Take a peek and decide for yourself... and have a great weekend!

Banners by Earmark.

I love these fun banners by Earmark! They could be used in so many fun ways at a wedding (I'm thinking thank you cards), or could be customized for a shower or engagement party. How would you incorporate one into your big day?

A London bride.

Daf & Alexa's darling London wedding is the kind of wedding I covet (and not only because it occurred in my favorite city!). This cute couple incorporated lots of fun, personal touches and bright colors. I adore the double decker bus they hired to transport guests, the bunting that decorated their chic pub setting, and the sweet heart-shaped chalkboards used around the reception as signage. Be sure to check out the link above to see every last detail as captured so wonderfully by photographer Jodie Chapman. Have a great weekend!

Cake stands on Etsy.

Etsy seller Jeanette Zeis creates soft and lovely "vessels and wares" in all shapes and sizes. I particularly like her pretty cake stands. Wouldn't a collection of these be lovely at a wedding reception?

A different kind of floral arrangement.

Christina of Flores del Sol is creating exciting and modern arrangements that would add a fun pop of color at any reception or event. She incorporates texture in a way that is so unique, and each resulting piece is sure to be a conversation starter. Take a look at her shop for the entire of selection of designs.

Fun ideas for DIY paper lovers.

Martha, Martha, Martha. If only her website had been so robust when I was married six years ago. This set of DIY tutorials for paper lovers is to die for. Fortunately, I can always carry these ideas over to a fab party today. Hope you all have a great weekend!
