Cake (via Martha Stewart)

Wedding cakes kind of scare me. I'll admit to that. something about something so big and so expensive that you can't really taste until the day of. I guess this is showing the true colors of my micromanager self. Like the dress at least you get to try on. And the dress you try on is the dress you'll wear so that's that. Cake?!?! I don't really have opinions on cake. My favorite cake would be a stack of baked lays or chocolate chip cookies in a cake stack. But I have people in my life who have strong opinions about cake. (Yes I am talking about you Miss. R, but also my Mom :)

All of that said, this cake rocks. Thanks Martha.

Birds (by Spark letterpress)

I joke about having love birds as a theme until I see something as great as this. I simply love this. Love love love. Such great design by Spark. *sigh*

I will be spending some time at their blog.

Cat (by PenguinAndFish)

I love this! It isn't a card but instead a fabulous notebook by penguinandfish. I'm sorry. This is when I have to fully admit my love of cats. So cute!

Painted CD Stands (by Lena)

Oh neat! The bride, Lena, found some CD stands and spray painted them in her colors. I love how she added the yellow and gray poms, and invitations. She clearly has an eye for design.

Have I mentioned my love for adding furniture outside yet? And here is a great example of making something really designy but within budget.

The photography is the work of Andrew Lin. He has more great shots of this wedding on his blog.

Invite (by Simplesong Desin)

What a pretty invite! It's the first I've seen like that. Very cool work of Simplesong Design. Photographs by Kate Headley.

Also, I love when people incorporate fruit/vegetables into their decor. It's one of those things I'm not interested in doing; it's not my style. But it's a style I really love. And every time I see it I just think, "Wow. So neat."

(Note: I realized the fruit/veggie comment made no sense. Click on Kate Headley's blog and you'll see what I mean! :)

Plushy Owls! (By cynicthelamb)

Owls! These are the really cute work of cynicthelamb. Is our theme going to be birds? Love Flocks Together. OK, now I'm making myself laugh. *sigh* Did I tell you I bought a bird cage at Goodwill today? (Right before I locked my keys in my car.) Don't tell Z about the bird cage! (Just joking!)

Necklace by spinthread

I love this idea. I've seen lace necklaces (beautiful), and I hope jewelry goes more toward this trend. This is the lovely work over at the Esty shop spinthread.

Fabric Lables (from Make Something via IDIY)

My first thought was, "How much does a typewriter cost...hmmm..." but then I remembered I have a stamp that's the same type face. I mean, it doesn't quite look *this* cool but it's the right price.

This is from the always great Idiy and from Make Something.

Table Piece (via Style Me Pretty)

This is exactly the type of piece I love. LOVE! In fact I'm starting a new tag for it. So great.

I can't find the name of the bride anywhere, but wow. Nice work couple!

There's a ton more pretty at Style Me Pretty.

Folded Invites (by Elise & Patrick via Design*Sponge)

This seems like such a happy wedding. Wow.

I'm thinking about invitations again. Here's nice example of something folded. I like the long envelope because I think it looks nice. Cards are loose inside. Something to think about.

Boutonnieres (by Mrs. Sunbeam of Wedding Bee)

Mrs. Sunbeam over at WeddingBees blog has a great little tutorial about how to make lacy boutonnieres (<--- damn those french words are hard to spell!).

I haven't even thought about boutonnieres at all. At all all. I'm still in the "oh those are cute/pretty/insert adjective here" stage. Soon this will be followed by the "Oh no, this or that this or that?!?!" stage.

Anyway, *cough* boutonnieres!
