Shabby Chic Wedding
I thought I would end this long, rainy week with something sunny and beautiful...the dress is beautiful, the bride is beautiful (the groom....) the wedding is just plain beautiful. Found this on Style Me Pretty, but the bride is actually an amazing wedding photographer in her own right (Stephanie Fay).

Dinner Party
My husband (so wierd to say that) and I are thinking about having Thanksgiving at our apartment this year. I think we both feel a little lost without wedding plans, so we are pouring our efforts into my favourite American holiday. I am thinking about dinner party table settings today. There is no better place to turn than to La Partie Events, an American Events company that totally gets doable DIY and simple tables that make big impact.

Country Loving Wedding Theme
A laid-back country vibe is perfect for long summer nights. If you're having a rustic theme, incorporate wild flowers, hand painted signs, lace accents and mismatched crockery. This theme is budget friendly if you are prepared to spend time DIYing and coordinating the look with your venue, especially if you and/or your bridal party are the creative types. If you want to go all out, a bicycle made for two theme will suit this style perfectly, stamps on your stationery and as your transport will create a carefree, nostalgic atmosphere.

Lighting
The right lighting is one of the most overlooked details of a wedding. To really set the mood and tone for your day getting the right lights is imperative-and doesn't have to be expensive. Natural light can be beautiful, especially with stained glass (ie in the church) if you get a sunny day. But my favourite lighting is candle light. I love the softness of it, and all around natural romance. There are so many types of candle holders and votives that the possibilities are endless. Another trend is paper lanterns with LED candles or strings of bulbs. Here are some ideas:

I just ate... Sweet buffet table ideas
But I came across these succulent alternatives to the wedding cake...and I want to eat them! I am not doing a traditional cake, so these got me thinking about all the sweet alternatives (pardon the pun). I love the idea of using the colour of food to compliment a theme, and I love even more how much personality can be shown from such a simple thing.

DIY Wish List
I tried to make chocolate covered strawberries last night, all in an effort to become more like Martha Stewart (part of a 'traditional housewife' phase I am going through-when I realised I am getting married in five months and can't even make my beloved a simple casserole). It seemed like a simple thing to try...strawberries are already made, no hassle there...the recipe said all I needed to do was melt some semi-sweet chocolate chips, which I thought even I could do. Turns out chocolate chips don't just melt, or they don't when you add butter to them (I thought the butter would make it creamy...it didn't). I ended up with a chocolate powder-ish, marshmallow- type structure, which needless to say is not fit for dipping strawberries in. Project failed. It is a good thing my domestic prowess is not the reason my fianc� is marrying me, and that he can cook really well! Anyways, it got me thinking about DIY and even though I would not dare try a DIY wedding project, I think people who can do it are so awesome! Here is my DIY wish list (things I wish I could do if I was not arts-and-crafts-inept).

Vase-VaAse...or however you say it
Karen and I found Etsy.com... so this most sunny of Fridays has been spent drooling over absurd light bulbs and awesome vases. Here is some fruit from our labour (my labour, Karen is busy with the bulbs).
Some of these vases are from ebay, and the white tall vases are from the Classic Bride blog (they are her own, she is selling them). You might think some of the are a bit odd, but you have to but them in the context of beautiful candleight and the right type of wedding. I think the rustic ones would be perfect for an outdoor or country themed event.Personally, I love the coloured ones, I think they would be perfect for sprucing up the 'standard' centre piece... -
October 24, 09
We decided today on our venue and date! So I guess I am really getting married! Is it weird that this commitment scares me more than the lifelong commitment I am making to my fianc�? It is very exciting but extremely scary. I have 24 weeks to put together the wedding of my dreams...ahhh the pressure!

Cobalt Blue
I love cobalt blue and this table setting is a good example of why. It is so crisp, clean and sophisticated. This shoot photographed by the wonderful Marie Labbancz would be perfect for a summer garden wedding.
