Week in Review: April 30, 2010

It’s not a wedding, but it’s hard not to be inspired by all the gorgeously designed details in this baby shower on Twig and Thistle; eye candy abounds in the shots Tinywater Photography took of the Una Bella Sera event, posted here; the lovely ladies at Posh Paperie and Jackie Wonders collaborated to make these [...]

Nonpareil Issue #3

Yes, it’s that time again – Nonpareil Magazine, my partnership with Kristen of Paper Crave, has launched another issue. This marks our third issue launch, and our current theme is “Something Old into Something New”. Each issue keeps getting better and better (and we’re certainly learning a lot in the process!), so obviously I’m going [...]

Putting it on a Pedestal: Lovely Cake Stands from Herriot Grace

When I saw Oh Joy feature one of Herriot Grace‘s wood pedestal cake stands yesterday, I think I nearly fell out of my chair. Not only are they absolutely stunning, but I personally would style them exactly the same at a wedding – with a humble, homemade style cake to create a perfectly charming presentation. [...]

Lovely Letters: A Gorgeous Save the Date from Leigh Wells

I’m a big fan of Leigh Wells‘ work, and I was thrilled when she sent over this gorgeous save the date that she penned for a bride and groom. It’s beautifully engraved with gold ink on textured white paper. I bet you’ll be gawking about it like I was when I opened her e-mail in [...]

Beautiful Boleros from Bonzie

I’m not going to lie: I’m sort of addicted to the idea of brides and bridesmaids alike wearing simpler, more tailored dresses (J. Crew’s bridal line perhaps?) and accessorizing with  a statement bolero over it. If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, you know that two of my favorite things to see in [...]

Real Wedding: Jake and Katie

Emily Steffen sent me this way too cute wedding that took place in Kansas City. It’s so perfectly seasonal with the pinwheels and the flowering trees. Spring doesn’t stop there – from the flower choices to the color choices, you can’t help but feel that sense of happy optimism looking at these pictures! Emily’s soft [...]

On the List: NineCakes

Now, NineCakes didn’t put anything in our swag basket to alert me to their existance – but they certainly made quite an impression. The fabulous cake they made for my birthday so blew me away that I immediately looked them up and felt as though I was totally late to the party on this one. [...]

Site Relaunch + New Designs: Paper Dahlia

Kerry from Paper Dahlia is an incredibly talented designer that I’ve had the pleasure to come to know first through her work on Minted. As I’ve been able to continue watching her work develop over the last year, she continues to create consistently lovely work with impeccable taste and attention to detail. When Kerry e-mailed [...]

Magnificent Monograms: New Font Available from Tart Workshop!

Some of you may remember my earlier love fest post on Crystal Kluge’s calligraphy typefaces for Tart Workshop, her partnership with Stuart Sandler of Font Diner. She was kind enough to email me this morning about her newest release, Barocca Monograms, which was just released and is currently available through Font Bros. and will available [...]

On the List: Lo Boheme

Towards the end of the B List, all of the bloggers received a swag bag filled with goodies from various wedding industry vendors. While I was familiar with a lot of the participating vendors and many had already had their work showcase on this blog, there were several standouts that were new to me, and [...]
