Coffee Filter Garland (by Pam Garrison)

I knew I'd seen something similar. This is really lovely too! Similar to the feel (the fantastic feel) of the cupcake liner garland.

Fantastic work of Pam Garrison.

Cupcake Garland (by 100Layer Cake)

Oooooh lovely. Lovely! These are going to COVER our Christmas tree next year! Did I mention lovely?!

There's a tutorial over at 100Layer Cake.

Pocket Fold How To (by Miss Cola of WeddingBees)

I'm linking to a lot of tutorials this week. Lots of good stuff to remember for later.

This one shows how to make an inside pocket on a card. I will totally use this! Maybe not on wedding stuff, but limitless possibilities!

This is from the super clever Miss Cola over at WeddingBees.

Hitty Book Cover (via WovenPlay)

Something really appeals to me about the straight forward invite. Something like this (this isn't an invitation clearly) where it's a pretty pattern and then the names. Maybe names and date. Simple.

Alissa and Ryan 2 (via Design*Sponge)

I couldn't not post these images too. Also from Alissa and Ryan's wedding. Also from Design*Sponge. Look at the colors in that bouquet. And the light fixture above the cake? *sigh*

General Wedding Feel (Alissa and Ryan via Design*Sponge)

I love inside furniture outside. This entire wedding is gorgeous. It's one of my favorites from a design standpoint. (Top 10 I've seen online.) Go check out their flowers. Such beautiful colors.

This is from the beautiful wedding of Alissa and Ryan. Check out their store Horne.

Awesome Envelope (by Miki Sato)

I normally go back to the same, oh 15 or so blogs. In my browsing a few days ago, I book marked two new ones. Designalicious and Polaroid Cupcake. I began going through their archives today and wow. Totally great. Designalicious had a link to another promising blog, Magazine Junkie. And that's where I saw Miki Sato's work. She's one of those artists that really speaks to my design sensabilities. *Squeal*

Also, how cool would this be for the outside of the wedding invite? Go to the last image in this here link and you can see she's sewn in a card on the back. Perfect!

Miki Sato: website, blog (with a ton more of her work)

Freezer Paper Silk Screen (by Mrs. D'orsay of WeddingBee)

Lights Under Table (by Gourmet)

This is really really pretty idea. Lights under the table cloth. Yay!

Note on the gourmet article: They have a link off to Czech Kolaches!! I lived in Slovakia for a year during high school and I fell in love with the Slovak Kolac, which is basically the same thing. Makes me really happy every time I see anything from this are of the world mentioned.

Doily Tote (by Ashley Ann)

Yay for doilies! So feminine. So pretty. So useful as stencils. This is a cool tutorial from Ashely Ann by way of Design*Sponge.

Also, I should note that Ashley Ann's blog is super cool. Check out her DIY category here. I think this plate project could come in really handy as a wedding decoration. I could find white small plates at Goodwill and do this. Oh damn. I may have to go do this right now.

Wrapping (by Holly at Decor8)

One of the things I've been trying to analyze while browsing potential wedding stuff is wrapping. I've never been very good at wrapping gifts. That and flower arranging are two things I've just never been very good at I still don't really care about the latter, but I want to be able to wrap something. It's the kind of detail work that really appeals to me.

This image is from Holly of Decor8. I love the doily (paper and knit) and the layers. So lovely.

Horse Ribbon Tutorial (by Design*Sponge)

Horse ribbons are kind of everywhere right now and I love them. I know it's one of those things that will soon go out, but I'm thoroughly enjoying them while they last. (Also they may pop up at our wedding :)

Design Sponge had a really good tutorial. I think I've seen other tutorials but this one involves a stapler instead of sewing. I'm a sucker for stapling.
