1. Favorite Wedding of the Week: Safari Themed Forest Wedding – I try to highlight an array of weddings that range in budget, style, and location. This wedding features lots of cost-saving DIY tips and an unusual jungle theme! Featured at 100 Layer Cake. Photography by onelove photography.-Allison
3. Up-Inspired Floating House – The second I saw photos from this National Geographic shoot, I felt like I was being transported to a fairy tale. I love that not only did they test the idea of the house floating off with balloons in the movie Up, but the colors are so perfectly matched to the colors from the film. This must have been incredible to see. -Vanessa
4. How to Make Playdough – As a child, playdough was one of my favorite creative tools. There was something about the feel of the playdough in my hands, along with the variety of colors, that always got my creative juices flowing. This post from black eiffel has an easy tutorial for making your own playdough in colors you want; it sounds like a blast! -Vanessa
1. Vintage Sonoma Real Wedding – This gorgeous wedding, featured at One Lovely Day, features an absolutely sumptuous color palette. I love the use of gold and pastels. Photography by Kate Harrison Photography.
2. Floral Inspiration – While its still decidely feeling like winter here in California–so much rain!–this flower inspiration post from 100 layer cake is sure to get you in the mood for spring (as if you weren’t already)! Designed by Hatch Creative and photography by Jen Huang.
3. 1960s Vintage Alabama Wedding -I love every detail of this vintage 60′s inspired wedding. The bride especially–her makeup, dress, hair–is perfect. Gorgeous theme, perfectly executed! Post from Ruffled Blog, Photography 1313 Photography
4. {wedding} nick & surya, basalt, colorado – While this post is from a long time ago, I found it this past week and had to share. I have never seen an effortless, cool looking wedding done so perfectly. This looks like the celebration of the century.
5. Dinner in the Sky – Dinner parties are taken to a whole new level in this gorgeous take on the traditional dinner seen on Black Eiffel.
Even though winter is (finally!) coming to a close, this vibrant quilt from Kim Eichler-Messmer is just vibrant enough to fit perfectly into almost every season. I would love to build a room around this gorgeous color scheme! Found via Anthology Magazine.
1. Missouri Wedding – This simple, classic wedding–featured on Style Me Pretty made rich by the gorgeous vintage-style Hawes photography. Some truly inspiring images of a classic couple in a classic setting.
2. Leprechan Potions – This DIY craft from Design*Sponge is at once magical and holiday-centric–two qualities to which I am definitely drawn. Why not use this craft as a starting point to throwing a St. Patrick’s Day party that verges beyond the typical gold coin and corned beef shindig? Instead, create an elfin, woodland garden party–a whimsical and magical celebration suiting St. Patrick’s Day’s happy leprechan figure!
3. Real Wedding: Kate & Felix – If you look at anything I post today, make sure to glance over this eccentric and inspiring wedding featured on Snippet & Ink. Totally inspiring in its originality, the setting, couple, and photography is stunning. Photography by Nick Tucker.
4. Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread – There’s something about a Monday morning that seems to be unbearable for everyone. I was feeling this way today when I saw this post from Joy the Baker that immediately pulled me out of that Monday morning blues with some delicious photos. This recipe looks fantastic, and Joy’s fantastic sarcasm has me celebrating this Monday morning.
I’m ready for flowers and being able to spend evenings outside and spring lunch gatherings on patios. In short, this is enough bad weather! It’s officially March! I thought these lantern lights from Pottery Barn were particularly pretty for when the weather finally decides to come around.
