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.

Spring things.

We got our first taste of spring here in Seattle yesterday... and I want more! Here are some inspiring images from Martha Stewart Weddings to inspire a little spring fever in brides-to-be out there. You can view the full gallery here. Enjoy!

A wishing tree I'd make a wish for.

So, you know how I just blogged about Mrs. Post and all of its cuteness on Monday? Well, they went and uploaded an adorable photo to their facebook page. Check out this sweet party based around a wishing tree they sell. What lucky person was the recipient of this sweet shindig?!

Vintage wedding style done oh-so-right.

I just ran across an image from Heather & Andrew's vintage-inspired wedding and had to revisit the whole album as shot by the talented Julia Newman. The level of detail these two put into their reception is amazing. I'm particularly fond of the brightly patterned vintage napkins you'll see below. Nothing is matchy matchy, yet everything looks just perfectly put together. Enjoy!

Le Wedding Party.

Just wanted to alert you to a sweet new blog, Le Wedding Party! The bride-to-be, Elsie, is very creative, so watching her big day come together should be good fun. Enjoy!

Wow.

How insanely inspiring is this editorial shoot from Jose Villa? The colors! The patterns! Yet, it somehow feels so natural, too? I simply love it.

Orange + Gray.

I just love this orange + gray inspiration board found at Snippet & Ink. It's bright and cheerful, yet sophisticated. And, if you're lucky enough to find a venue with these wire Eames chairs? Sigh...

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.

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!

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.

A simple + lovely cherry-inspired wedding.

I could stare at these peaceful photos of Cathleen & Eric's rustic wedding for some time. The setting is gorgeous, the decoration is simple but sophisticated, and I love all the cherries! It's just amazing.

Maida Vale on Style Me Pretty.

Recently featured at Style Me Pretty, Sherry + Jed's wedding came together so perfectly. They chose a palette of yellow and gray, and mixed in many modern, handmade elements. The flowers, however, leave me speechless. They're so colorful and sophisticated! I'm honored that my table numbers could play a small part in such a gorgeous event. Full credits (and many more photos!) follow at the above link. Congratulations, Sherry + Jed!

Embroidered Converse? Sign me up.

What isn't to love about these embroidered Converse for a bride and groom? I also adore the cheerful (and sweet!) favors turned escort cards that newlyweds Victoria & Dave chose for their wedding day. Judging by these photos, they look like a really fun couple who put together a wedding that really reflected their personalities. Bravo! Photographer David McNeil has many more images up over at his blog. Enjoy!

Color combo: Moss, Robin's Egg + Powder.

I know I blog a whole lotta blue, but it is my favorite color after all. I shared this great MS paper project last week, and it inspired the following color combination. Yum, yum!

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!

Etsy find: Pixel + Hank.

I love when the front page of Etsy turns me on to a new designer! Yesterday, a fun boutonniere popped up there and I found Pixel & Hank. Lovingly handcrafted by owner Daisy, Pixel & Hank's boutonnieres and headpieces are simply magical. Daisy also has a blog that showcases some of her work as used in real weddings. Go sneek a peek to see how fun her work is. Enjoy!
