I am crazy about these DIY chandeliers made of reclaimed wood, mason jars and sailors rope. This Napa farm wedding was inspired by Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree, so it’s hard for me not to love everything about its rustic charm. To see the whole wedding go to Style Me Pretty.

Irish Wedding...


Welcome back! I thought I'd kick off the re-launch of my wedding blog with this perfectly styled Irish themed wedding shoot, set in one of my favorite locations. Manka's boathouse in Inverness. I adore this place and it's so special to me. The rustic feel of this scene is beautiful, fresh greens against the backdrop of burlap accompanied by delicate white flowers. I could definitely insert myself in this place and have a March wedding. Cheers to being Irish & Happy St. Patrick's Day! {images via style me pretty}

Herbal Boutonniere...

I love the idea of aromatic simple boutonniere, check out Once Wed's DIY.

Faux Real...

As a wedding favor, this couple recorded three of their favorite song covers (doing all the cheesy instrumentals and vocals themselves!) and burned cds for the guests, using designs from Steep Street for slip covers on each album. Each cd was titled 'Faux Real', to give a sense of their playfulness in general, a hint what the wedding would be like, and a way to describe the art pieces that they’re living in together. {via Once Wed}
