While doing some research for wedding flower alternatives for a friend of mine, I happened along Estilo Weddings after not having been there for a while. I fell head over heels for this new collaboration between their shop and DK Designs. These fabulous flowers, made of clay, can be perfect keepsakes for your wedding and are available as cake toppers, ring pillow decorations, boutonnieres, single flower bouquets, and other wedding day accessories.

Since I haven’t talked favors in a little while, I scoured my favorite packaging shops for some fabulous supplies to inspire you to add some extra personality to your favors. Then again, why stop there? With such pretty things to work with, you might find yourself adding lace and ribbon to places you hadn’t originally anticipated!

After a very exciting day of shooting for the next issue of Nonpareil Magazine, I was absolutely delighted to find this lovely dessert table in my inbox from Shauna Younge. This lovely lady was the brains behind the gorgeous silver, white and purple buffet I mentioned in an earlier Week in Review post, and I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know her and her work better over the last few weeks. She so kindly offered up some pictures of this Valentine’s spread (shot by Tricia Little of Sweet Shibui Photography) that features a chic and less “expected” color palette of pink and navy. On to the yummy…
To top it all off, we’ve got a candy bar wrapper printable for you that Shauna provided if you want to try to recreate the look yourself. Want it? Download it here.

Congrats to Bethany on her lovely Valentine’s Day inspiration shoot that appeared on Style Me Pretty; Kathleen comes through with another gorgeous DIY post on Twig & Thistle – this time for an Oscars bash; one of the most jaw dropping shoots I’ve seen in a long time from Lollipop Events; love the use of the old school card catalog as a method of organizing escort cards in this wedding seen on Green Weddings Shoes.
Etsy’s search engine is my best friend. Yes, I have to sift through pages of things I’m not interested, but when it brings me back gems like today’s featured store, I just want to give it a big ol’ digital hug. Peppermint Cloud’s whimsical and utterly sweet collection of fabric boutonnieres have won my heart. Each piece has an amazing combination of colors, patterns and textures, making them little individual works of art. Peppermint Cloud also offers other adorable accessories – check out their store here.

In case you missed it, Kristen posted a fantastic do it yourself alternate to the brooch favor box featured in the first issue of Nonpareil Magazine. Instead of having to find a large number of vintage pieces, she’s created a lovely paper-based version that is incredibly gorgeous and versatile. Go try it out!
