Invites We Love!

They are fabric invites...(!)

...and they're from Blue Magpie!

Here are our favorites!  We love that she introduces her new fabrics with a swoon-worthy inspiration board!

Beautiful right?  Here are other inspiration boards we loved!

What do you think? 

Thankful for...

I am thankful... for the new people (family, friends, colleagues, and clients!) in my life {like my nephew Abe}:

and old ones {like my nephew Gabriel}.

I'm thankful for every new day:

Puppy kisses:

The simple things in life:

Did I say I'm soooooo thankful for friends yet?  Because I am...:

and definitely this, which leads to being thankful for my health:

 
...but most importantly, I'm grateful for love!

Happy Thanksgiving/ stretchy pants day everyone!  What are you thankful for?

Bowie Bride's Rocktastic Wedding!

It's been a couple months since Britt's wedding and she has already been featured in plenty o' places.  The Rock n' Roll Bride covered it all pretty spectacularly!

Here are some of my favorite of Britt + Mike's day!

 
Britt was 100% DIY.  She hand painted wine bottles and added personal touches like this one:

Lovely how Mike looks at his wife-to-be!  This picture right here...says it ALL!

Vows always make me teary-eyed.  This one...as crazy fun as Britt + Mike are, they went straight for our heart strings!  Oh and for dinner, guests had the yummy Kogi truck come by!

After that, it was a par-tay!

Thank you for letting me share Britt and Nicole of Nicole Polk Photography.  I tried to keep it short and sweet because I know Britt's planning on showing her readers more pictures in her recap posts at The Bowie Bride.

One More...

 ...reason to love lace!

 ...as an invite liner!  Head on over to Green Wedding Shoes for more on this awesome shoot!  In the meantime, let's stare at this invitation suite!

Happy Friday!

 It's magical, almost like a painting!  Thanks to Chris for sharing!  See here for the complete post!

Lace Lust!

From Amy Michelson's dress "Lace Up" to anything pretty much lace, I will want it!  Here are a couple lace items that will go perfectly with your wedding if you're a lace lover like me.

For you or for your bridesmaids, I love this purse!  Maybe my husband will read this!

This lace bracelet is gorgeous by Justine M. Couture!

I love this idea for favors!  It can be more affordable if you order the boxes alone and go down to the fabric district in downtown.

Via WSK on Etsy

Via Orange and Blossom

These you can purchase here or do-it-yourself with the lace edge punch from Martha Stewart!

Finally, these have been everywhere and they are sooo cute!

Via Uncommon on Etsy

For favor or place cards!  Which brings me to another idea: If you find plain doilies, you can string them and hang them almost like papel picado horizontally or vertically.

Alright, done with the lace!  Don't you love lace as much as I do?
