Bow Ties

How cute are these place holders? I saw this inspiration in a wedding magazine at the airport and took a photo of it. I sent to my wedding planner and she loves them too. SO...with Robert being a menswear designer said that he can make them!

His tailor Anna made these for us...HOW CUTE!!! I'm so excited!

Brimfield Antique Show

Last week Robert and I took a road trip to Brimfield, MA for one of the largest antique shows in the nation. It was raining (which is good b/c that means no people) but that didn't stop us. I wanted to get up at 3 am to get there early but Robert (as he often does) knocked some sense in to me. I sometimes get very tunnel vision when I want something. Any how, I wanted to go up there to get some cool things for our wedding and he wanted to shop for a few pieces for our NEW store!!

Coffee grinder...so cute but we don't drink coffee so we decided no.

I was thinking this would be so cute for our photo booth back drop! But then I thought how the hell am I going to ship it. 

This is a table Robert was looking at for BRJ

I got this fan. LOVE!!

I bought a few umbrellas for myself too. Not this one though. 

Overall we had a GREAT day (minus the torrential down pour on the way home)

Say it simple

I love these wedding thank you postcards using photos from the wedding. I'm thinking black and white would be really cool. Martha Stewart says to glue photos to a piece of paper and then make a photo copy but I think it would be much easier to just get postcards made however postcards wouldn't have that cute edge around the corners. Check out the blog here that explains how to make your own DIY thank you postcards.

Vintage Rental

I found a vintage rental website here. SO CUTE!!

Vintage Photo

There's something about this photo I just love. The dapper dressed man, the elegant  flow of her dress or maybe it's the look in her face. She's about to embark the adventure of her lifetime. 

Obsessed- Vintage Wedding

I'm OBSESSED with this vintage wedding feel and I love the couple....they remind me of Edward and Bella..HA! The photos were taken by Three Nails Photography. I called them to see if they were available on 11.11.11 but they were busy...bummer.

I got so inspired by a lot of the things they did in their wedding. Coke bottles...YES!

I like the colors of the bouquet too. 

Check out ALL their wedding photos on my new FAV blog:
