SPRINGTIME WEDDING INSPIRATION

You know the best way to beat the summer heat? Imagine cool spring breezes! My recent springtime-inspired collaboration with Samantha Nichols and a fantastic group of wedding professionals is up on Style Me Pretty today. It’s chock full of bright greens, natural decor and cool calligraphy — plus a great DIY-garland tutorial! Take a peek for more breezy loveliness…

p.s. The invitation set & menu we created will be available for customization in our shop later this year. Yay!

CUSTOM WEDDING INVITATIONS

Emily Ayer, one of our lovely custom-order brides, has been sharing the story of her Southern-inspired wedding invitations on her blog this week. How fun is that?! Emily is such a sweetheart, and we had a delightful time collaborating together. I was so doggone excited about this project, y’all! Be sure to take a looksie at Parts I and II for all of the behind-the-scenes details. (You know you want to see more!)

As creative director for Southern Weddings Magazine, Emily is no stranger to beautiful events so it’s fascinating to read about her own wedding planning process and all of the adventures that she’s having. Don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see the beautiful & meaningful day she’s creating.

Hugs, Em!

BRENTON & LAURA’S QUEENSLAND WEDDING

Brenton & Laura (such a sweet couple!) recently asked us to create a special version of our DIY seed packets just for them. We were happy to help. They printed & assembled the envelopes together at home in Australia, and then each guest left the reception with a lavender-seed-stuffed-envelope to plant in their own garden — isn’t that such a lovely way to remember a wedding?

For more ideas & gorgeous photos from their rustic farm wedding, head on over to Feather & Stone. Many thanks to Brenton & Laura for inviting us to collaborate with them, and special hugs for Seth & Tenielle (photographers extraordinaire) who shared this sneak peek!
