Aubrey Joy Photography recently sent me this very pretty wedding and I am so grateful. This wedding is full of really inspirational, lovely details. I think the idea of the ring pillow in the cutout book is my very favorite (very creative!). Enjoy!

My background and training is in printmaking. As a result, I cannot help but be smitten with all things paper! I love the multitude of ways that you can manipulate paper to create anything from high art to charming ephemera. So, to say the least, I loved it when I stumbled upon the paper-tastic offerings of Imeon Design on Etsy. (Full disclosure? I squealed. I can admit to that.) There are so many sweet offerings that would easily and a little enchantment to your wedding decor!
Strawberry favor boxes? What could be better for a Summer wedding?
I love the idea of a table setting being laced with lots of these pretty paper flowers.
If you and yours are of the foodie type (which I totally get), then these artichoke place card holders would be a perfect choice!
These cake slice favor boxes are an elaborate choice. But, they’d be a showstopper for sure!
I know it’s not paper, but who could pass up these puffy little place card holders? I couldn’t! That’s who. They’re adorable!
Let’s face it, wedding inspiration abounds and you never know what you’re going to find or when you’re going to find it. While our Etsy round-ups will oftentimes center around a theme or a particular item, today I’ve been stumbling upon all sorts of various fun finds and thought, “Just go with it!” Enjoy!

I love presents. There, I said it. No more pretending! I know that at a certain age (which I have long since passed) you should stop loving presents so much and instead embrace the greatness of the holiday spirit, and what Christmas is all about (blah, blah, blah). But the thing is…I love presents. They don’t have to be big or expensive. I just like the excitement of holding a beautifully wrapped gift in my hands and the anticipation of what is inside. If you are having a holiday wedding, your favors don’t need to be grand, but you can wrap them for extra fun. Here are a few wrapping ideas for you to think about.
