Inspiration Board #2: Green Apples

Green apple green adds just the right pop to an otherwise classic black and white palette. Details I'm loving in this board include the centerpieces of apple "topiaries" piled on vintage glass and milk glass cake stands and the bride's snappy heels. I could see this board translated into either a spring wedding - the green lends itself perfectly to that season, and the apples would be complemented nicely with fresh grass centerpieces - or a fall wedding, if you're looking for something different than the usual brown, red, and orange scheme.

Mood: fun, fresh, classic
Palette: green apple, black, and white

Oh, My Deer!

What lovely hair accessories I spied this morning over at Snippet & Ink! The designer, Chelsea, has an Etsy shop where she sells her dreamy flower and feather fantasies. My favorite part? Each piece is christened with a name straight out of the past:


Miss Betty


Miss Doris


Miss Irene


Miss Lucille


Miss Phyllis

Best of all, Snippet & Ink is hosting a giveaway - one hairpiece to one lucky reader! Check out all the designs on Chelsea's blog, then comment with your favorite on Kathryn's post before Wednesday at midnight. The randomly selected winner will be announced on Friday!

And if you haven't yet been introduced to the glory that is Snippet & Ink, be sure to spend some time checking out the months and months of out-of-control gorgeousness that are Kathryn's inspiration boards. A warning: you just might find yourself completely rethinking your wedding color palette, or be suddenly struck by an urge to redesign your house top to bottom - her combinations are that convincing.

Just Peachy

Trusty Daily Candy alerted me to Peachypan Kanzashi hair ornaments a few weeks ago. Their punchy-elegant colors and designs immediately appealed to me, and I was even more impressed when I learned each hairpiece is made of 80 to 150 folded silk petals. They're inspired by classic geisha designs, are completely handmade, and available at the Peachypan online boutique.







I'd love to see them on a quirky bride or a girl looking to jazz up a classic white tee. What do you think?

Just married?

How cute are these "Just Married" tags by Smythson of Boston? They're a little pricey at $38 for 10, but when else will you have the option to use these - and get the perks someone who spies them might give you?

Purchase them here.

Lazy Sunday

And this is why I love the South.
