Snippet and Ink's Wedding

Last week Kathryn from Snippet and Ink shared her wedding's video and I pretty much bawled while watching it. I've been following Kathryn's blog for a little over 2 years now, so I feel a deep connection to Kathryn despite not knowing her in person {I hope this doesn't make me sound like a creeper}. Kathryn wedding is not only beautiful, but it truly celebrated the couple and their marriage.

Ok, somebody give me a tissue. I love the interview of the couple. I love hearing the story of how they met and their journey from Hi to I do! Ok, somebody give me another tissue. What a beautiful celebration of marriage.




Click here to check out Kathryn's warm {watching her video and looking at her photos makes me feel warm and fuzzy} winter wedding in San Francisco and the celebration of Kathryn and Ryan's union through the captivating photography of Elizabeth Messina. Be sure to check back with Snippet and Ink through out the week {and hopefully continually so} for more inspirations and wedding details.

Sandbox Love wonderfully captured the day on video.

Congrats on finding your home in each other Kathryn and Ryan!!!

Current Obsession: Confetti

One of my big love out side of polka dots right now is confetti. I love how fun and whimsical they are along with the many ways they can be used, see below.

I am loving these confetti wedding programs from Martha Weddings.

I love the simplicity of this confetti cake also from Martha Weddings.

I can't wait till I get a chance to make these confetti party invites. Jordan Ferney from Oh Happy Day is the lovely creator behind these invites. You can find the tutorial here.

I love the idea of putting the confetti in a book. See more of this vibrant wedding on Snippet and Ink.

This confetti garland from Kristina Marie's etsy shop makes me happy. I spotted this on Creature Comforts Blog.

These confetti washi tape {Japanese masking tape} from Urban Scarlet's shop are adorable.

How fun are these confetti presents? It put me in the mood to party. You can see the easy tutorial on Tokketok's blog. Spotted on Oh happy day.

A Pretty Palette: Blush and Peach

I am loving the color palette of blush and peach right now. I got to see this palette in action over the weekend from a wedding we did at the eclectic and modern Stoneleigh Hotel in Dallas. Here are a few low quality shots from phone.

Also check out this gorgeous party palette I"m swooning over right now on The Sweetest Occasion.

Monochromatic Bridesmaid Bouquets

I am in love with monochromatic bridesmaid bouquets. I think monochromatic {sticking to one color or color family} bouquets look so lush and beautiful.




I love these yellow bridesmaids bouquets with daffodils, double tulips, fringe tulips and billy balls.




I love that Carissa Jones {she's one of my designs guru/super star} from JL Designs finished each bouquet with a different combination of trims and buttons.




Don't you love these mix and match monochromatic bouquets? I absolutely love them. I think it would really make each of the bridesmaids feel special to have each of their bouquets different than the others.

Christine + Iaan

You have got to see this adorable wedding captured by Julie Lim on Southern Weddings Magazine blog. Can this couple get any cuter??!

A polka dots wedding cake! Yes, please!!

The bride her self is also a blogger. Check out her pretty blog here.

P.s Anthropologie new wedding line called BHLDN {pronounce "Beholden"} is giving a sneak peak to all the major bloggers {I am so jealous} today in Philly. The line will officially be debuting on Valentine's Day {how perfect is that}. I will be updating this blog with all the sneak peaks I can find {you have no idea how excited I am about this}.

This is my favorite from the sneak peak on Glamour.com. I pretty much swoon over all the dresses though. Check out the sneak peak and let me know which one is your favorite.

Wedded Bliss

There are too many weddings that I'm loving around the blogs right now, that I thought I start sharing them all with you each week.


I love this picture of the bride and her father waiting from Southern Weddings Magazine {my absolute favorite wedding magazine}. I also love the bride's elegant lace dress {perfectly southern} from Anne Barge.



Using the chopping board for your menu is pretty brilliant {I'm definitely stealing this idea for a dinner party}. Check out all the wonderful diy details from this wedding over at Green Wedding Shoes.



I don't often get to see rehearsal dinner featured on wedding blogs, so I was super happy when I saw this loving and intimate rehearsal dinner on Snippet and Ink. One of my favorite part of my wedding was definitely the rehearsal dinner. It was stress free {at least for me} with lots of BBQ and line dancing.

Also check out the Modern Green + Gray inspiration board from Every Last Detail Blog and the Vintage Rose Shoe Round Up {swoon! swoon! swoon!} over at Once Wed.

Oatmeal Lace design

I was looking around Etsy for some cute engagement gifts idea for all my recently engaged friends. While doing that I stumbled across a delightful Etsy shop called Oatmeal Lace design. I clicked on the link simply because of my interest for the name and I'm so glad I did. Oatmeal Lace design specializes in creating these simple, chic and super cute clutches that I think would make the perfect bridesmaids gift. These clutches would also be great for every day use and especially for those dates night too. If my husband and I weren't on a spending freeze right now, I would have purchase one right away.

You can purchase pre-made designs for $45 or customized your own clutch with coordinating interior lining and exterior fabrics for about $50.

Aren't these darling??!!

You also need to swing on over to Green Wedding Shoes blog to check out Mckay's {the genius behind Oatmeal Lace Design} wedding. It was simply southern and gorgeous!!!
Mckay also have her own sweet blog here.

Love and Sparklers

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

I'm a huge fan of the sparklers wedding exit {I pretty much love everything that sparkle and shine}. I love the sparklers exit even more when couples {like the one above} take their time and pause for a kiss during the exit. I mean isn't the photo above just absolutely stunning and lovely??!!

Check out some more stunning Sparkler wedding exit by clicking here.

A Handmade Southern Wedding

I came across Hannah and Chas wedding on Pinterest about a month ago and I have fallen absolutely in love with the couple, the details, the people and especially the photographers. Each moment and detail of this wedding was captured by Alea Moore Photography. I find their photos so genuine that it seriously makes me feel the warmth and bliss of the moment in time that they had captured. Though I have never met Alea and Kim {the duo behind the photos} I can only imagine that they are just as genuine and sweet as their work.

I was on the fence about mixing and matching both colors and style when it came to bridesmaid dresses, but this wedding has totally sold me on it. It is just absolutely lovely!

How cute are they???? I am now on a hunt for those umbrellas.

I seriously wish that there was a time machine for me to hop into right now and go back to before Hannah and Chas wedding date to make friend with the couple, so I can be invited to their wedding. My heart is still swooning over the handmade details, the food, the square dancing and especially the people.

You seriously need to pop on over to Alea Moore Blog and check out the rest of this wedding. After that, you should also pop on over Southern Weddings Magazine blog and give them some major love and support.

P.s Can you believe we are only 10 days away from Christmas? I am looking forward to some major family time and quite a few food coma.

A cotton inspired wedding

I have a sweet spot for cotton commercials. I especially love this version by Zooey Deschanel {adore her}, but I love this cotton inspired wedding even more.

The touch, the feel, the fabric of our lives...












You can see the rest of this wedding on Green Wedding Shoes blog {please do, this wedding is just absolutely lovely}.
