Real Wedding by James Abel, II
I wanted to share more pictures from today’s James Abel designed wedding! How cute is this…the bride, loved feathers and all things glittery, the groom loves test tubes and beakers as he is getting his PhD in Microbiology. James took their two loves and came up with this…
James never fails to surprise me. Each and every event that he crafts is totally unique…capturing the couple’s personalities to perfection. All of the stunning photos were captured by Angelica Glass Photography…and we have so many more on the way!
DIY Project - Custom Centerpieces
Our next DIY project is all about chic, but approachable style. On a limited budget, this bride set out to make centerpieces that really stood out and looked both expensive and completely style savvy.
Materials
Clay Pots Black & White Spray Paint (or whatever color you like) Branches of varying size and height Rocks Cardboard Toilet Paper Rolls Fabric cut to fit rolls Hole Punch Wire Fabric Glue Decorative Ornaments like feather boa, gems, beads, etc. Silk Orchids or other Silk Flowers Green Moss or other flowers
Table Inspirations by Hatch Creative Studio
Another incredible table inspiration by Barb at Hatch Creative Studio…
From Barb…
I’m always thinking about what a Hatch Inspired table would look like. While I could come up with 100 different designs, my first of many Hatch inspired tables began by using elements we like to consider Hatch signature elements. From mini nests, moss and tree stumps we feel right at home at this table. Stay tuned for future Hatch inspired tables. If you have any ideas you’d like to see us try please let us know!
There are three reasons why I am completely obsessed with today’s real wedding feature. First, the photographer is one of my favorite Little Black Book members, Amy Squires…her work is so pretty, I just love to brag on her behalf.
The second reason is that the bride, Karrie, is launching a new custom invitation business, called Posh Paperie, that is just too cute for words. I love to support up and coming businesses, so writing this post was a lot of fun for me.
Color Palettes Questions - Peach or Orange?
Another reader question….I’m getting married in April 2009 and wanted to use orange and white for my wedding. However, after changing from a white dress to a different colored dress — the official name of the color is shell — I’m wondering if the bright orange is still a good choice. I was thinking perhaps a peach color might work better but I’m at a loss. Any ideas?
Here is a pic of the dress that this reader has chosen…
What do you think…does orange still work as an accent color or should she move more towards a peach hue?
Real Wedding by Lisa Lefkowitz - Gloria’s Wedding, Part 1
I have been saving this wedding for a day where I could focus solely on the beauty of the affair…on a day where we had no business to take care of, no other scheduled postings. A day where we could just soak up this lovely wedding and find inspiration in all of it’s gorgeous detail…
This wedding was sent to me by the incredibly talented Lisa Lefkowitz, whose work I have always admired. She has been sweet enough to share some of the details with us…
Do-It-Yourself Wedding Projects
I am so excited to feature these DIY projects. These flowers are absolutely amazing and so professional…
To Make the Flower Arrangements…
I purchased most of our flowers from Costco. The centerpieces were created using large square vases purchased at IKEA. The space between the stems and the vases were filled with limes, then with pink, green and white flowers. We made the centerpieces the night before then placed them outside in the shade.

Do-It-Yourself Wedding Projects
These adorable DIY projects were all done by one bride, who clearly has an eye for pretty things and the creative talent to really make it work! These beautiful pear favors prove that a perfect gift is one that is simple and lovely…
These flower cones are such a great way to bring a little color to your ceremony. By using different patterns on the paper, the overall look seems thoughtful but whimsical…
I love the detail on these cupcakes…each one is different, elegantly mismatched…
Last week, when we were oooo-ing and ahhhhh-ing over Avalon’s gorgeous wedding, someone commented on where to find inexpensive, but pretty vases. So, when I stumbled upon this feature in the Fall 2005 issue of Martha Stewart weddings, I knew that had to put it up. The article talks about clustered centerpieces and is filled with beautiful ideas on inexpensive floral arrangements, along with some great resources on lovely vases…
Samantha and Ryan, Fashion and Flowers
Honestly, the most stylish part of this wedding was the fashions and the flowers. Each dress, each centerpieces, each bouquet complimented one another to perfection…all without seeming overly matched or coordinated.
First, the fashion…the girls wore butter yellow dresses from Simple Silhouette, with the maid of honor simply tying a navy ribbon around her waist. The boys were in classic black tuxes. I will see if Samantha will give us the full run down of vendors when she is back from her honeymoon.
