Big Corally Pink Peonie Wedding Bouquets

There are few things that make me want to plan another wedding. Mostly because ours was so special and also because it was very "us." BUT... every now and then I do come across some images on the ol' net that really make my heart hurt with full blooded wedding lust.

That being said (and I absolutely adored our wedding flowers) these here giant pink peonies make me want to redo our entire shindig. Possibly its just the place coral florals holds in the soft spot of my heart... but more likely its just because these flowers are AMAZING.

It's OK if you cried a little... just pretend you had to sneeze, I won't tell.

My Lil Sissy

Lost her front tooth and is cuter than ever. If that doesn't make you want to start your babymaking, I sure don't know what will. :)

Life is sweet.

OMG Shoes... All Under $10

No you don't need to check your prescription! You read that right! Next time you have a hankering for a pair of new trendy shoes but already spent half of that crisp ATM-fresh $20 bill on starbucks, no fear my friend, just head straight to Target.

$9.98 gets you a work appropriate pair of new brown "leather" slip-ons with TOE cleavage included in one low low price. Way too cute.

$6.75... (No seriously, can you handle that?) and a brand new pair of trendy red tennies are alllllll yours. The perfect summer sneakers for the singing patriot in you... All for under $7 bucks. Redonculous.

$9.00 for these very florally ballet flats and you will be dancing in the aisles. I'm not sure how comfy these would be but THIS my friend is how to work a trend, ON THE CHEAP. Loves it.


Happy shopping... Have a great weekend!

Beautiful Adobe Illustrator Wedding Programs

The programs for our wedding are one of the DIY projects I am most proud of and most cherish as a keepsake. I put a lot of heart and care into them. I was so completely beyond happy with the results that I am now selling these wedding program templates on my Etsy site!


When searching for unique ideas I stumbled upon these amazing programs I saw on Green Wedding Shoes and was completely inspired.

How different and still personal are these? Those were the two words I was hoping to embody and I think this bride hit a total home run with her own wedding programs.

It was fun for me to put my love of my family and friends, photography, graphic design and paper products to use on something so personal.

Was there a DIY project that brought together all of the loves in your life?

DIY Detail: Etsy Ring Bowl by Paloma's Nest

One of the most personalized elements of our wedding that we did not make ourselves was our Paloma's Nest ring bowl. You may have seen these in Martha Stewart Weddings, or on any number of wedding blogs, and we totally heart them.

If you personalize one of these, they aren't exactly cheap. We debated whether it was worth the dollar bills for something that would be used and barely seen for all of 30 seconds. But you see, the hubs and I are major Christmas freaks, and this here ring bowl officially turns into an Xmas tree ornament as soon as the wedding is over.

We. Were. Sold.

You can personalize the bowls with as much or as little word magic as your heart desires. Jonathon and I did not use the ever-present 1 Corinthians 13 "love quote" during our wedding ceremony but we still wanted to incorporate those perfect sentiments of what love truly is into our wedding in a more subtle way. Thus, our patience, kindness, faith, hope, love ring bowl. I know its hard to see in the pic, but there is also a little stamp of a house and then the word home at the bottom.

I'm about to get all corny on you so if you're squeamish look away... but all of those words in one way or another mean to us, trust. To me, that is the most essential part of my friendship, love and marriage with my hubs and I am so glad to have the keepsake to remind me what's truly important in this crazy life.

Did I mention it is gold-plated? Christmas status!
