Lovely Things

I love the different, the not-so-easy-to-find, the out of the ordinary things that makes a wedding unique to it's creators. I will confess that it means finding new uses for everyday items, looking high and low, and getting the creative juices going. If that doesn't describe you, don't despair! You have the Internet and hope is just a click away!

Wrap your cake with a beautiful wrapper and no one will forget your dessert! This particular one comes from Paper Orchid Stationery.

For the couple that loves to read, how about using old library cards as save the dates? Check out DIY Bride for more information. Too fun!! Take it one step further? How about getting married in a library? You could wrap up your favorite novels as favors as well as host a coffee bar after dinner.

Love fashion? Then show off your style with a hat instead of a veil. Let's face it, most every bride wears a veil, so take a break from the norm and show off your individuality. NYFashion Hats is a great site for inspiration. The picture below would inspire an entire vintage wedding - very Jackie O. Add a pair of elbow-length gloves and you have the start of a very romantic yet chic wedding.
