Wedding Week: Paper Polaroid

Continuing on with my paper decor theme for the upcoming nuptials, Candace of Paper Polaroid, was the mastermind behind my wedding pinwheels.

Again, I was on the hunt for a flower alternative and I just loved all the bright colours and large paper selection she had in her Etsy shop.  PaperPolaroid also does fun hanging things like garlands and cake toppers as you can see below.

Be sure to check back for a sneak preview on more vendors plus the wedding colours, later this week.

Wedding Week: Misty and Me

What party is complete without confetti?

I worked with Melissa, owner of Misty + Me to make confetti in my wedding colours.  While the confetti game plan is not 100% set in terms of whether I will be using it as decor or for the guests, I am happy with the beautiful colours from Melissa and look forward to using all 800 pieces in the venue!

How do you think I should use the confetti on Sunday?  Any thoughts?

Love This: Homako

Believe it or not, the flight that I was supposed to take to kick off my honeymoon was cancelled.  Can you believe it?  We get an email from Edreams (FYI- never, EVER book a flight on Edreams) alerting us that our flight has been cancelled to Nice and we should call them to figure things out.

After fighting with two CSRs and no one willing to transfer us to a manager (a rather simple request), we are now rebooking with a new airline/website and re-routing our plans, hotels, car rentals and plans entirely.

So bye-bye to Nice, and hello to Lyon.  My fiance wanted us to to our trip off in Nice so he could say “It’s nice in Nice,” cheesy, yes, but it’s the simple things in life that bring a smile to one’s face. Oh well. I hear that Lyon is a delicious gastronomy city, so I am happy to have the opportunity to explore France’s second largest.

On another topic, I wanted to share another great Etsy find that I found a while back while reading Freakdelafashion’s blog.

Homako is a jewelry designer who is originally from Japan who now lives in Los Angeles. I love her jewelry designs.  She uses wood, fabric and other materials to make her geometric looking pieces and they are all available on her Etsy shop.  Soo cute!

 I have never experienced travel hassle to this extent.  I hope you are having a less frustrating evening than I am having.

Streamer Love

Have I mentioned I am in love with all things streamer related?  I think streamers may be the happiest type of decor out there, second of course to balloons.  No matter their shape, size, colour, length or style, streamers, bunting, pendants, garlands or whatever you call them, are simply awesome.  If you are looking for some streamer sources, I would recommend the following sellers on Etsy- trust me, I have done my research!  Studio Mucci, Pom + Love, Frances Moulin, and Steph Loves Ben.

Dipped Wooden Bowls

How beautiful are these dipped wooden bowls I found on Etsy from seller, Wind + Willow Home?  I love these!

I am off to Dresden tomorrow to do some biking along the Elbe river, weather permitting.

Until Monday- Happy weekend.
