Wheat Field Wedding

I am a huge fan of outdoor weddings. There's something about meshing nature with love that makes me giddy. I came across this awesome wedding treasury on Etsy.com by Alice from Hodge Podge Shop. If you're planning an outdoor barn or rustic style wedding, you need to check out these awesome items already collected and matched together for you. To view the treasury so you can go to the details page of each item click on the image below!

A Dash of Sparkle

I'm a huge fan of really simple makeup on your wedding day. But that doesn't mean that you can do a subtle cheek and glam up those eyes a little, even if it's just for the reception. I love this glitter eye from The Beauty Department. Best of all you can replace the gold with pink or blue sparkle eye shadow. To view the entire DIY click the image below.

Cathedral Veil

How gorgeous is this tulle cathedral veil by SIBO Designs? I love how it flows and its romantic feel. It really is a really pretty veil perfect for a fall wedding. Just imagine it flowing in an October breeze! So pretty!

Dandelion Centerpiece Idea

I found this idea for dandelion centerpieces on Pinterest and I just had to share it! I'm a huge fan of dandelions, they're so surreal and pretty, and I think that this idea is perfect for a tent or outdoor rustic summer wedding. Plus, having a dandelion or two for each of your guests, can also be a cute entrance or exit idea!

Clutch DIY Idea

I'm head over heels about this awesome DIY clutch idea from Chictopia. This clutch not only works as a bridal DIY idea, but bridesmaids can rock this idea just as well. It seems to require a lot of work, you'll even need a drill to make it, but that makes me love it even more. Get ready girls, and roll up your sleeves, get those work goggles on, and rock the hand tools. You can also purchase gems of different colors to match your bridesmaid dress or make a blue clutch to carry as your "something blue" on your big day!

Butterfly Tamer Veil

I love, love, love this butterfly tamer bridal veil by Sheena Lange of Honey and Lace Designs. It's so cute, and perfect for a spring or summer wedding, especially one outdoors! Each butterfly is cut out by hand, and Sheena personally attached each individual cutout to the veil. I love the pop of the black and white of the butterflies especially. So cute!

Inspiration Board #29: Brown, White, Blue and Orange

Nom Nom Nom!

Maybe you wouldn't automatically think that the items shown below are edible. But I have absolutely fallen in love with these cookies. Yes, that's right, COOKIES! They look so beautiful and are a great idea for a perfect wedding favor. These cookies, by BB Sweets, are individually wrapped, which means you can pair them off with some colorful thread and some labels, and you're set! Shop owner Brooke, has a bunch of nifty designs that range from classic Victorian cameo cookies to more upbeat and colorful cookies like the ones shown below, all of which look not only gorgeous, but scrumptious too!

Ello There Wedding Invitation Shop

I'm so in love with these Polaroid type wedding invitations! Aren't they so cute?! Best of all, you can copy the idea, and make your own handmade invites. All you need is a ruler, a cutting blade, and some time. Then just insert your photograph behind, and include all your other paper goods inside the packet. You'll also need inkjet labels so you can close your packet, and some nifty mailing envelopes. If you don't have the time, check out the Ello There Wedding Invitation Etsy shop.

Pillow Stories

The ring pillow is a classic addition to weddings. I love this embroidered pillow from Pillow Stories. Its square embroidered pattern is captivating and lovely, perfect for both an indoor and outdoor wedding. Best of all, although this is mainly a decorative pillow and is sixteen inches square, you can request a smaller size from shop owner Marilena Koliavasili, giving you the choice to use the pillow as a gift, as wedding decor or as a ring pillow.

Etsy Wedding Registry!

There is now an Etsy wedding registry page! If you haven't heard of Etsy.com, it is the biggest international online marketplace for the craft world and artists. People from all over the world sell their handmade items through their own individual shops. One of my favorites aspects of Etsy has always that they have some amazing sellers that centralize on wedding crafts and items from jewelry to dresses to edibles that you can use for your wedding favors. Recently Etsy added their own wedding registry page, so you can now add items that you find on Etsy, and there are some amazing home decor items available, for their friends and families to get as wedding gifts.
