I absolutely adore the vintage charm of these embellished Valentine’s Day straws designed by Livy of A Field Journal.  If these don’t get you into the Valentine’s Day spirit, I don’t know what will - and not only that, but these could easily be translated into wedding decor, favors, or even creative save the dates.

A full download and tutorial can be found on Papermash - download available here.  Too much cuteness, yes?

I sent out the last save the date this morning!

I’m surprised they were all able to escape Nala’s teeth.

She’s like a ninja! I was trying to take an “in-the-process” shot and she just hopped up with a swipe of her paw. What a pup!

Although the design is old news, I did want to share one little thing that I did that made my life easier. Might be pretty common sense, but hey, if it helps make another bride’s life easier than it’s worth it, right?

Two of the amazing qualities about this thing we all call inspiration is that it can 1) come together from anything and 2) be interpreted in different ways by different people.

The top left photo below, fabric flowers from Twigs and Honey in jade green and ice blue, was originally posted by Cyd on The Sweetest Occasion. It was instant love!  So Cyd and I decided to collaborate and show you how you can take your favorite photo or object and build elements of your wedding around it.

First up, the inspiration board that I created based upon the photo…

Simple and classy - black and white weddings will never go out of style, but you can spice it up by using the colors in unexpected ways.

A black and white dessert table? Yes, please!

Black and white bridesmaids dresses are the perfect accent to the bridal gown.
