Abby Jean Invitations, Laura

Laura is a classic...with a twist. She is one part tradition, one part hip-girl-next-door. We've recently infused our Laura collection with a fresh new color palette of kelly green and pure white. What was a really sweet invitation before, is now a bit more contemporary. I love the simplicity of this look paired with such a vibrant color. ... [MORE]

Jessica Rust Serving Pieces

A few months ago we posted about the amazingly talented Jessica Rust and readers went absolutely crazy for her work. Since then, I have seen Jessica's designs all over the place...Grace at Design*Sponge mentioned them, Poppytalk Handmade features them on her web store, Jennifer over at... [MORE]

Wedding Invitations by Brown Sugar Design

I have been a long time admirer of Jonathan and Whitney over at Brown Sugar Design. Their work is always so fresh and unique, each piece perfectly coordinated, without seeming overly matched... photo courtesy of Brown Sugar Design I have also become a daily reader of their design blog, where some of their more recent work makes it onto the pages. How completely chic is the lemon... [MORE]

Wedding Details by Etsy

It's official. The day is shot. I have spent a solid four hours pouring over one of my favorite sites, Etsy. What I love about this site is that not only can you find tons of handmade wares by indie designers, you can also find some pretty amazing collectors items that are absolutely perfect for your wedding decor. Take these "vases" for example... Top Row:... [MORE]

Wedding Details on Etsy

My day is being wasted scouring Etsy for more fun reception decor ideas (thanks to the oh-so-cuteness that is happening at Small Stump). So, rather than feeling bad about it, I am just going to call it market research and pass my finds along to you. These are journaling tags that would be so cute as table cards! If you punched a hold at the top, then hung them... [MORE]

Wedding Details by Small Stump

My best friend Katie, whose getting married in a couple of weeks, decided to do centerpieces based around those perfect birch bark vases by Small Stump that OhJoy! featured a while back. They are amazing. Well, as it turns out, the whole world thought they were pretty amazing too and they sold like hotcakes. Katie eventually found a set on Ebay, but has been... [MORE]

Blog Action Day, Part II

Continuing on with Blog Action Day, you should definitely check out Polkadot Bride... She has some great ideas for having an eco-friendly affair, along with some fun resources for green entertaining that I had not seen before. Although most of the companies listed are based in Australia, they are still eye candy and are good for a few hours of inspiration. Also, if you haven't already, definitely check out... [MORE]

So, what better day to ask Emily Anderson of Eco-Chic Weddings, to share with us her own interpretation of a super chic, but environmentally sound wedding... From Emily... The two words “chic” and “whimsy” were the inspiration... [MORE]

Abby Jean Invitations, Maggie

To me, Maggie is the perfect marriage of old and new. It is engraved on superfine ecru paper using both a deep chocolate ink as well as a foiled platinum ink. The detailing is delicate and feminine. The end result reminds me so much of a beautiful antique book that has been infused with a modern sensibility... For more information on this particular invitation, please visit Abby Jean. [MORE]
