Reception Look.

So our main colors are chocolate brown, bright pink and ivory. I want a gorgeous vintage/glam feel to the day and it's nice that the place where our reception is being held has huge tall ceilings with marble flooring, tall columns and beautiful molding all around.

I love the look of the pearls and the gold detailing on these plates!

Beautiful, sophisticated pink hues.

For a cleaner look I've thought of going with light blue tablecloths, like in this picture. We'll just have to wait and see! I think we'll probably stick with pink or bown to keep with our color scheme.

Cake Inspiration.

s

Do you see a theme here? Round, white cake, bright pink flowers. That's what we're going for and we've come up with a design that puts a damask-type design along the top edge of each tier. so 14" 10" and 6" rounds to keep a good amount of sizing difference between each tier. I'm so excited to see our cake!

Vintage Wedding Inspiration.

Is it ok to change the theme of a blog? I guess if I'm just doing it for myself and don't really figure that anyone else actually reads it, then why not? Ok, I'm switching my "whatever inspiration" over to "wedding inspiration" because that's what I'm in now: wedding mode! I'll probably go back to the whole "whatever" mode in a couple months after our wedding.

First off: engagement photos! We haven't had any taken and I didn't really think we were, but I've been pouring through wedding blogs all over and now I want to do a vintage type photo shoot! I don't really like balloons at weddings (I used to think they were cheesy and should be reserved for birthday parties) but I've seen some pictures lately that I'm loving! I love the balloons in this picture (from the Sophia Coppola-directed Dior commercial) because they aren't typical balloon shape (they're totally spheres- so cool!) and the colors! So gorgeous with matte colors instead of blaring red, yellow and blue birthday balloons.

Nordstrom = Love

How awesomely glamorous does this new Nordstrom shop window look? I'm in wedding-mode now so anything shiny/pretty/detailed/glamorous/vintage has been catching my eye lately.

I love the jewel-toned dresses and background, the hanging bubbles and the shoes in their own bubbles. Sigh.

SF Girl by Bay

In other news, this photo collage by SF Girl by Bay is totally inspirational to me and now I just want to go spend hours browse through flickr! Scratch that, I want to go take photos! Isn't it just so vintage chic?

Mystery Record Player Photo

Ok, I know I have been seriously slacking on this blog, but I've been wrapped up with wedding planning for the past couple months!

Anyway, I was browsing through some pictures I'd saved on my computer in the "Inspiration" folder and came across this awesome Record Player photo and thought that it'd be a great print to hang up on a wall somewhere. Then I realized that I was seriously not thinking when I saved it, and didn't tag it or anything with the info as to where I got it. So if anyone's seen this pic around, will you shoot me an e-mail so I can find the photographer?

Thank you!

See Mom Shop

Ok, so I'm obsessed with little kids clothes. Even girl's and so far I've only got a boy. Ok, well especially girls since their clothes are so much cuter and have so many more options than boys. So I'm sure you can imagine how excited I was to randomly stumble across this mom's blog all about her toddler daughter's outfits: Confessions from a Daughter's Closet. I'm sure it helps that her daughter is super adorable but Bekki is hilarious and I just love checking out all her daughter's beautiful dresses and matching hair accessories!
