DIY

I love this idea...Jen from Purl Soho (one of my favorite fabric and knitting shops in the city) recently got married. Since she has an AMAZING fabric hook-up, she began collecting fabrics to make linens for all the tables at the reception.

She became worried at one point when she realized she was going to be left with several orange and green napkins after the wedding. Luckily many of her guests wanted to take theirs home with them, and with the ones that got left behind...she made this amazing quilt! What a great momentum from the wedding!

The pattern for the quilt is available in Joelle Hoverson's book, Last Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts

The reveal...

I love these photos of couples seeing each other for the first time right before the wedding.

Cute

I couldn't resist posting this adorable dachshund. I'm starting to look for wedding photographers and came across this pic from a couple's engagement session, taken by Kara Pennington. So cute.

Lantern Love

One thing is for sure, as soon as I saw the wedding location, I knew it would look beautiful at night with lanterns strung everywhere. Which is where the inspiration for this post came from. Can I have them all?!

Planning the honeymoon...

is proving to be more difficult than finding a location for the wedding.

We originally wanted to go to Thailand but then we thought maybe the Maldives or the Seychelles would be nice. Now we're back to Thailand. I want everything to be perfect which is just making it more difficult to plan!

I could literally sit on a deserted island with Mike and have a blast so I know I'm worrying over nothing but this has seriously been the most difficult vacation I have ever planned!

So today, instead of pouring over hotel web sites and reading trip reviews, I decided to have a little fun and put together a post on things I want to take on my honeymoon!
