Photos found here on Living Etc.

vintage & vibrant

One Love Photo

I love the vintage and vibrant look of these photos I came across on Once Wed.

elements of table decor

While I love the idea of more of a freestyle approach to scattering a collection of things on the tables, I like how these decorations become more of a centerpiece when placed within a frame.

How cool, too, would spray painted thrifted books used as risers be??

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this table setting via Green Wedding Shoes courtesy of Tec Petaja Photography. It has such a wonderful vintage and garden vibe. My head's spinning with ideas!

In all their shapes and forms, I just can't get enough!

candle makeover

I'm loving this idea for jazzing up cheap dollar store candles using fun, crafty supplies that I have in my stash! So great for a wedding or any occasion! You can find the tutorial on the Kenner Road blog here.

I'm head over heels

In love with this wedding!


Photos found on Once Wed

I love everything about it, the sweet, vintage style, the cluster of decorations centered by a place mat, the twinkle lights, and pom poms.

Also from this wedding, but found on a different blog, 100 layer cake, are a few more images:
I love her veil and the rows of pictures hanging from the trees.Banners? Yes please.

inspired

The instant we became engaged I knew I'd look to blogs for inspiration in planning our wedding. I'd never seen a wedding blog, but was sure they existed. The first one I found was The Wedding Chicks, then came Once Wed. After that, I don't remember the order, but I found them fast. Over time I stuck to the same group, all reliable sources of eye candy, information, and advice. I've never bought a magazine, haven't needed to. My head is so full of ideas for my wedding day and it started with this picture from this post on Once Wed.


The idea is of an Anthropologie, vintage inspired wedding and reception. The only idea I'd ever had for my own wedding was that I wanted it to be outside. Other than that I had no plans or childhood dreams about how it would be or look or play out. I consider it good fortune that I came across this in the very beginning and I could have a clear picture of what I could aspire to create for our own special day.
