Cupcake Cutups

lilyspruce — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:14:36 +0000

I love this cupcake kit for a bridal shower from Meri Meri. It’s priced at a reasonable $11.95 which comes to about 50 cents a cupcake, not bad! But I suspect you could also DIY these bad boys if you were feeling truly motivated and use them at your wedding! Love the cupcake liners too. (You could compost them afterward!)

Bloomin’

Big fan of flower sashes to dress up a basic bridesmaid dress. All a little different, just the right amount of whimsy. See Exhibit A, below. From the preppy cutie, Emersonmade.

Wedding Isle

I’m nursing all the ills that come with traveling, but I have the wedding of this adorable couple, who got married on a Swedish island, to cheer me up. See more of this adorable couple here. Happy Monday everyone.

March Mea Culpa

And just like that, it’s March. To say that life and work have been busy is an understatement. For you too, perhaps? First order of March business: to apologize for the lack of posts–it’s been so long since I’ve cracked open my dear blog! I hope all is forgiven with this cute Do It Yourself idea for Save the Dates from the mother of multi-tasking divas, Martha Stewart. Get the how-to here.

Rainy Days & Marshmallows

Because it’s about to rain today and through the weekend, I needed this visual pick me up. What’s cuter than mini marshmallows? Apparently marshmallows shaped like clouds. By Herriott Grace.

Twigs & Honey

There are some weddings I remember very well during the course of my own wedding planning in 2007, and the wedding of Myra Kim was one of the ones that stuck. I feel like we shared some of the same design vision–natural, organic, casual but still elegant and refined. And the details! Oh, the details. She had a plenty, including her fantastic hair pieces, for herself and her bridesmaids. She began making more hair pieces and then opened Twigs & Honey, where she’s churning out more dramatic and charming headgear but also shrugs, belts and jewelry. Check out the goods at her Etsy shop!

With her bridesmaids. She made their hair pieces too!

Loved the moss, the birds resting on top of them and the escort cards that look like flags.

Cake topper. Love the sheets of music.

Just married!

Vintage Stylings

Prop and floral stylist Chelsea Fuss, of one of my favorite blogs, {frolic!} unveiled her collaboration with Elizabeth Dye and other Portland collaborators. The styling’s impeccable and the influences range from haberdashery to vintage sewing rooms. So sweet and soft and Old World. I love it. And the hair pieces by Twigs & Honey–just delicious! See more here. Exquisite photos by Lisa Waringer, who also has a blog.

It’s Heart-y Time in the City

Just a few photos I shot riding home on my bike the other night. You know we’re getting close to Lovey Dovey day when the city’s awash in red. I’m filing these images for some fun V-Day decor or some other shindig.

At the supercute clothing store, Dema, in the Mission. You can't see it here, but over the mannequins' heads were these old school see-through umbrellas.

At one of my fave Bernal stores, Heartfelt. I love the big blow-up hearts with hand-painted sayings. Be fun to replicate for a wedding, engagement party or for the reception!

Bicycle Thursday

So loving the PBR cans attached to the bike. And the Vans. And the paper airplanes. And the triple-buckle flats. From the wedding of two Etsians, Anda and Peter.
