Here is my latest article for Project Wedding. I was excited to find these mini lanterns and thought they'd be great for escort cards/favors/centerpieces. The idea is to create a reception awash with gorgeous candlelight. How pretty would it be to have all your guests carrying lanterns to their tables?
Also, thanks to Amber for modeling!
When I was in Greece, I jumped at the chance to put together a super simple wedding/elopement story for Project Wedding. I love the idea of spending your dollars on a pretty location, finding an inexpensive dress (My friend Amber and I bargained for this dress and it ended up costing just 20 Euros!), and just celebrating with only your closest friends and family. This could definitely be done on the cheap!
Thank you so much to Amber and Gary for modeling and my friend, Jenny for helping! Also thanks so much to Kamares Apartments for letting us take the photos at their lovely hotel in Fira, Santorini. See full story on Project Wedding and more photos on Flickr.

I am loving these details from artist, Jamie Bertsch's wedding. Here's what she says about the decorations:
We made the arbor together, it was our collaboration installation! (we're both artists). The decor was based off of the pieces that we've collected over the years we've been together (with the addition of a few family heirlooms). We wanted every detail to be personal, and to have an overall setting that really captured "us".
Update about the dress: "My dress is my mother's wedding dress. We altered it together for my wedding day (we were the exact same size!).
More lovely photos on Jamie's Flickr.
I did a guest post for Kelly Oshiro about styling tables. You can check it out here. Also there's a guest post from me over at Pretty, Pretty Paper!
Thanks!

Emily's posts on Design Sponge this week have been phenomenal. This engagement shoot, "At The River" is so fresh, unexpected and simply beautiful. If I ever get married, that is what my wedding will be like. And, I never say that when I look at wedding photos (particularly staged ones!).

I love these boutonnieres from Small Stump.
I made these little teacup flower arrangements for Project Wedding. They could be used for a shower, a luncheon or any girly sort of party. Full article and instructions here.
As you know, I am always a sucker for farm-inspired anything! I had a lot of fun with this table for Project Wedding. I was able to use some of my new finds from this amazing second-hand shop in Stockholm. Hope you enjoy!
