Dessert anyone?

I am so inspired by the food photography on Cannelle et Vanille. I want the desserts at my wedding to look like this! So beautiful...

Fun Registry Gifts

How cool is this countertop water filtration system. It's incredibly eco-friendly and a lot better looking than those office-style water coolers. I also love the glass water bottles, I am definitely adding those to my registry!

Refreshments anyone?

Another gorgeous invite

Here's another beautiful invite, using calligraphy but with that great contrast of black and white (or maybe it's silver, I can't tell!) Anyway, I love it, and she used vintage stamps as well

Aisles of Style

I'm getting lots of inspiration for our ceremony aisle...these are some of my favorite.

I like the burlap with the design printed on it because you could re-use it for a table runner after the wedding but there is also something so romantic about an aisle of flower petals.

Our Signature Cocktail...

This is something I have been thinking a lot about. Mike and I have more or less decided to do a beer and wine bar. To make things more interesting we definitely want to introduce a signature cocktail during cocktail hour. Since lavender is sort of an underlying theme in our wedding I thought it might be fun to create a drink with lavender. I was thinking a lavender infused vodka lemonade served in mason jars.

Of course Martha has some fun lavender infused cocktails on her site. Specifically, a lavender champagne and a lavender whiskey sour. I'll have to do some more research on this and play around with some recipes to see what tastes good.


NY Mag has some great suggestions on how to serve your signature cocktail, like keeping the cocktails to cocktail hour only to keep the experience memorable and ensure that people don't get tired of drinking the same thing throughout the length of the reception.
