Sunday Smile

YUMMY Sunday Smile this week from Kate Robinson Photography.

Apparently, my obsession this week is Textures....

Inspiration Board; Textures & Interest

I feel as though I am spoiling you rotten with eye candy this week!

Sometimes I think it would be several kinds of awesome to have bright, statement-making colours for a Wedding theme. But then I panic that I could never make it look as good as other Brides manage. Not all of us are courageous enough to opt for a bold, colourful palette for our Wedding, so I am pretty sure Textures are the next best option for making a statement, without your Wedding looking like a Circus Tent.

Opt for Interesting hairstyles for the Wedding Party, or different textured fabrics for ties.

Think feathers and lace tablecloths, textured icing on the cake. There are so many options, you could just go nuts with it!

What are some of your favourite Texture ideas or Colour themes?

Bookish Inspiration

I love books. I feel like I don't read enough. I try, but I can never finish a book in a week. This makes me kind of sad, since I love reading so much, but never find time to do it.

So, with another of my loves in mind, I created another Inspiration Board for you lovelies.

If Great Expectations and Suite Francaise got Married, this is what their Wedding would look like;

*sigh* Dreeeeeeamy....
Enjoy!

Flower alternatives.

I will be the first to swoon and suffer from an elevated heart rate over beautiful blooms...but I do think it is so very sad to only have your bouquet for one day before it starts to wither away.  Here are some creative, cute and quirky alternatives that you can keep forever and ever. 

Not only are they gorgeous but some of these ideas are very cost effective!

Ah, another week begins!
I hope you didn't get up to anything too strenuous over your weekend!
I have been out at various social occasions four nights in a row and have done some serious eating. I'm about ready for a meal at home!

I thought it would be nice to share a few links today!
I have been surfing the interwebs on my two days off in a row! *gasp* And I have stumbled upon some wonderful goodies.

Here are some of my favorite items from my web-surfing;

1.
MOUSTACHE MUGS!


Perfect gift for the groomsmen, don't you think?
These mugs cracked me up the first time I saw them. They make me think of the nose coffee cups.
By This man.
avilable here, here, here.

2.
Nommy Fleurs

How's about a gorgeous real wedding? Check out this beauty from Grey Likes Weddings.
I love the mix of herbs and flowers for the arrangements. Such a relaxed, romantic feel, and no panic stations required for the DIY flowers. Yum!

3.
Victoria n' Bird!

Lovely little Etsy Shop.
Lovely little Blog.
I find myself squeeing with excitement every time I find a new NZ vendor who makes amaaaaaaaaazing goodies. Those smock dresses are too cute!
Ohhhhh Emmmm Geeeeee!
Perfect little dresses for a day-after-wedding picnic, don't you think?

4.
Foxes.

I stumbled upon Victoria n' Bird as above, and subsequently stumbled upon Foxes.
Foxes = a treasure trove of contemporary design and handmade goodies by New Zealand Crafty types.
Yummo!
Below are some of my picks via Foxes;

one, two, three, four

I hope these yums have helped you through your mondayitis!
