For anyone that knows me...a white on white color palette is pretty much as good as it gets. My mother in law even gave me a white poinsettia this year while she gave everyone else the traditional red variety. I literally own 20 or so little white t-shirts, I wear a white winter coat, I only own white linens and china and am currently bursting out of my 4 year old white sneaks that I can't seem to part with. In my book, a pretty white wedding is just about as good as it gets.
So...
This is possibly the most gorgeous feature ever. I am always head over heels for anything that Summer of Grey Likes Weddings does, but this one just might take the cake. She's put together some of the most lovely holiday gift wrap inspirations you've ever seen and aside from being perfect for the coming weeks, they are also pretty incredible ways to package up wedding favors. Oh and not to fret...we are including some...

We are totally smitten with these new DIY Garland Kits made especially for your vintage wedding car.

1. The chairs. These are the shining star of the entire event, right. Well, Chiavari rentals can cost a pretty penny so although this is definitely the easiest route, it's also the most expensive. If you are already renting chairs though, take this shoot as the...
Being a bit of a stationery snob, I was kind of over the moon to see the stationery pieces that were included in today's shoot. Designed by Sara Fitzgerald O’Brien of Griffin-vites Stationery they were actually one of the elements that I loved the most...and in a room this gorgeous, that says a lot. Who knew that roosters could be so freaking chic. Sara is an absolutely awesome designer who clearly took...

I always get a little giddy when Heather over at One Love Photo sends us one of her weddings. And that giddiness turned to pure glee when I saw this one. This wedding, in Westchester New York, just might be the prettiest wedding ever...with the prettiest dress, the prettiest bride, the prettiest pictures. And a dream boat of a groom.
I had always had a bit of a crush on New York City. Growing up in...

And the very best part is that you can change up the letters and make the most adorable favors EVER. We heart BOTH Hello! Lucky and Shana Faust a lot and are tickled pink that they would put...
This is one of those weddings that is just pure prettiness. Photographed by Carolyn Quilici for Lisa Lefkowitz it's total girl and total gorgeousness. The affair was held at the Annadel 1880 Winery and Garden and was just enough to make me squeal with girly glee. Even more notable, it actually shut me up for a few minutes and instead I just devoured all of of the gorgeous photographs...
Vendors Involved:...
We are kicking off the week with one of those DIY project that I just know will find it's way into so many of your weddings. It was crafted by Kathleen at Twig & Thistle and is about as practical as it is completely gorgeous. A perfect fit for any wedding...or any holiday table! This is an idea for inexpensive centerpieces with high impact. Old glassware and paper weights take on a whole new look with a little paint.
