Men's Clothing

So we may try (*may*) have the men wear different blue shirts but with the same tie. The tie on the left looks like it'd match pretty well (pretty well ish) with what the women are wearing.)

We're trying to keep what we buy low but if the men can just use a shirt they already have...it may work. It also may not.

I'm so (soooo) that person who's at the back of  a wedding going, "They tried..and it didn't work." I'd hate to be at my own wedding! :)

Tuesday's Bounty

(Bounty seems like strong word. More like the source of my currently very very tired forearms.)

All right. Red wine? Check. Painted test vase? Check. Stash of hot glue? Check. Hot glue gun and scissors? Check. Hours and hours to make 15 tulle half poms? Hell yeah check!

Here we go. Seven weekends between us and the wedding. Amazing. Amazing excited and amazing holy-wow-there's-some-work-to-do.

For the next two weeks I'm focusing as much as I possible can on floral centerpieces. If you stop by our apartment, I apologize in advance for the absolute chaos this is causing.

So here are my floral goals for this week: (Finish hearts, half poms, Paper cone flowers, vases, centerpiece designs)

Monday:
   Complete 30 hearts (TOTALLY Got this finished!)

Tuesday:
   Finish 15 half poms (This took forever. I love them)
   Paint 100 half circles (Instead I painted 80 and then assembled the 5 cone flowers it made. Hmmm...)  

TWO MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why yes, there was an absolute panic last night as I tried to fall asleep. We're deep in a work project and have been putting in 10 hour days on both the weekends and the weekdays for the last 5 days so my list of "things I haven't yet done" collides into my list of, "oh my God the house is trashed" and "when do I get to exercise again?"

Those aren't really lists, but yeah. Yeah.

So I'm pushing it all out of my mind for 2 more days and when work has subsided, I will put my nose to the ground? the stone? Wherever noses go to get major shit done before diving into another week of 10-12 hour work days right before marriage.

So, all who read this, please forgive me for taking a bit longer to get back to emails. I think we're entering home stretch territory.

Tables and Cakes (by Amorology)

Such pretty table settings!! From the people at amorologyweddings.com


This is from a photoshoot. I'm never sure if that makes me feel better or worse. Still pretty incredible.

Go here and look at this: cake.

Milk Glass (Stylish Soiree)

This table is modern in a way I am not but totally love. Simple palette. Bold stylings. *sigh* So lovely. Also part of the milk glass rage that may or may not be abating?

This is the work of Stylish Soiree for a Chanel photoshoot.

Pretty flowers (different angle from the shoot)
Another pretty angle: here.

Beautiful Table (by Carla Ten Eyck)

This is so lovely. Combines two things I delight over: patterned plates and rectangle tables.

So much cute (via 100LayerCake)

Wow. Wow. That's all I got. No wait, no it isn't. Check out those bookshelves! So adorable. Table numbers! It's a photoshoot, I know. They get to spend hundreds of hours on a few select pieces but this shoot designed by Honey and Poppies is stellar. Go check out the photos on 100LayerCake. Delightful.

Program/Bout (via Once Wed)

I'm now obviously thinking about programs and boutonnieres (DAMN YOU FRENCH SPELLING.) These images are from Alix Klingenberg Photography of Sarah and Israel's wedding. I've seen some lovely wedding photography perusing the blogs, but I have never seen someone catch the moments quite like Alix. I know the couple must just be this way, but the photograph of Israel putting the ring on Sarah's finger or them looking at each other as the walk down the isle. You know, who cares about anything else when you have that.

Cranes! (via Once Wed)

A lot of love and hard work went into this installation of cranes at Clover and Trae's wedding. What an awesome shot by photographer Jenny Ebert Photography.

Pom Bout (via Wedding Chicks)

At some point, we will actually have an idea for what the men are wearing. (Oh that.) Until then, it's time to start assessing boutonnieres. (Which, btw, is the hardest word to spell in the entire wedding language.)

This boutonniere is from the lovely backyard wedding of Lauren and Keanan. I could make something like this out of a string pom.

Sometimes

Sometimes you see something online and think, "I really like that. I should get that." And then sometimes you do!

Good story, huh? This lovely print by Olivia Jeffries is heading my way.
