White can be such a striking color and is the strength of this elegant white bridal tea shower styled by Bo Peep Productions for 100 Layer Cake. As a mega tea drinker (I love a good cuppa!) I could have a tea party for any occasion and be utterly over-the-moon. Love the tea bar!

I’m really not a “punchy” color person, nor much of a yellow person, but the more yellow in weddings I see, the more I like it. Love this bright yellow in Laura & Adeel’s wedding in Columbus. Isn’t that cake fantastic?

Not only am I a huge ice cream fan (just ask my co-workers; we have a JP Licks only a few doors away from us… uh-oh, is right!), but I love themed dessert table ideas. An ice cream bar at your wedding reception is so cute… I just hope it doesn’t melt!

I’ve been looking at inspiration from different calligraphers for a Save the Date project (*more on that in a few weeks!) and came across this project by Jenna Hein of Love, Jenna & Swiss Cottage Designs. Love the simplicity and the quietness the watercolor lettering (and gorgeous liners) convey. I heart Jenna’s work so much!

Kate Spade just introduced a wedding clothing and accessories line and it’s super cute! Classic dress styles and lots of fresh colors that pop against white dresses. LOVE the accessories.

Last month I was able to work with a colleague and friend on letterpress printing her wedding invitations. Ashley designed the invite and all of the components and I love how the quirky, hand-drawn type really sets the mood for their wedding which is sure to a fun, memorable celebration. The invitation is mounted inside a diagonal enclosure, with a letterpressed cover and a pocket for the RSVP and other materials. The theme of the wedding is art and music, and the invitations were sent out with a CD inside the pocket enclosure as well. I was really pleased with how Ashley’s design printed and can’t wait to hear all about her wedding details (*I know of some but I think she wants them to be a surprise for her guests!).
If you’re interested in more of Ashley’s design work, please contact her here.
I have quite a few cyclist friends who would love this idea… getting all of your wedding guests to participate in a giant bike ride! This wedding looks like such a fun time.

When I came across these invites, my heart skipped a beat. How insanely beautiful are those Audubon book liners and handwritten typopgraphy? Check out the wedding website as well which compliments it perfectly. Fantastic work from Sideshow Press.

Gah! I don’t know what else to say, because I’m completely head-over-heels crazy-in-love with Anthro’s new wedding site BHLDN! Oh, how much I wish I was planning a wedding so I could own one of these lovelies. Everything is incredible, the dresses, gowns, accessories, lingerie, and jewelry.
I think my head just exploded. Completely overwhelmed by gorgeous things.
By the way, Happy Valentine’s Day!
