You may have caught a glimpse of these invitations a little while ago (I believe they were rounding the blogs when I was in Hawaii, and I’ve been meaning to feature them since then). But in case you didn’t, you’re in for a treat. Sara Hanks Giessen created an absolutely gorgeous invitation package — which featured a hand-bound book — for Christina and Mark, a couple who were married in Iceland. There are a ton more pictures on Sara’s site, so please take a look over there for more details.
And for those who don’t realize how labor intensive a project like this can be, this video will give you an idea.

I’m loving the whimsical, show-stopping hair accessories from etsy shop Wedding Aisle.
We’ve been doing a major clean-up of our apartment ever since we got back from our honeymoon, and this weekend I tackled most of my pre-wedding stuff. After going through all the piles, I realized I had stack of wedding books hanging around. Truth is I barely cracked most of them, so I can’t really vouch for the content. But I figured some of you still in the planning stage may find them helpful. Here are the titles that I have:
- The Knot Book of Wedding Lists
- Stylish Weddings for Less
- I Do: A Guide to Creating Your Own Unique Ceremony
- The DIY Wedding
- The Knot Complete Guide to Weddings in the Real World
So, first person to comment here gets them (all I ask is that you pay for the shipping.) I’ll shoot you an email as soon as I see your comment.
And on another note, if you want to get a quick, tiny sneak peek at our wedding, go here. Doesn’t tell you much, but hey, I’m pretty psyched we received the “Best wedding booth ever” title. More to come very soon!
Have you seen Jena’s (of Modish fame) wedding dress? While it doesn’t exactly fit my personal style, it truly is a work of art — the details are amazing.
You can read more details about the Elizabeth Dye creation right here.
Can’t wait to see how the rest of her wedding details come together!
It’s become a bit of a trend (a trend that I love) for newly married couples to take the idea of traditional anniversary gifts and put a modern, creative spin on them. Here’s one example. To commemorate their first year of marriage, Jerome Daksiewicz created a booklet that highlights major, minor and world events that took place over the course of the year. I’m especially intrigued by the “Lover’s Scale” an infographic that depicts all of the couple’s “most evolving” events according to the calendar. I LOVE this idea, and though Brian and I haven’t yet talked about how we’ll celebrate our anniversaries, I’m definitely a big fan of going this route.
My new favorite décor item: colorful string lights from Cable and Cotton. You can choose from their pre-selected color combinations or even create your own, completely unique mix.

Check out these perfectly adorable accessories from No 144. (I love the teal shoe clips!)
I’ve always been a big fan of plaid patterns, which is what initially drew me to Kibber’s quirky, utilitarian bags. I am in the market for a new laptop bag, so one of these may be a contender. Plus I am really feeling fall right now. so this is getting me excited for the upcoming — sooner rather than later, I hope — change in weather.
