Why yes, yes I did wear that!  I've been thinking on a biker jacket with my gown, this confirms it...

Our Rings Are In...

Our rings from Two Silver Moons are in...inscribed simply with 'his' and 'hers' they are light and airy and yet wide with a sleek modern feel....

One more month tomorrow...

My Wedding Inspiration

But what colour, if any, are her nails?

Yes! I Need These...

*image and product found here...

For my Yule wedding, hmmm snowflakes are apt...The flock of birds just keep showing up everywhere...but the follow me, cheeky ;)

Holy Hannah I Won A Contest!

Yay, me and especially hooray for inspiring blogs like Simply Hue and jewellers like Simply Me Art for doing what they do so well and putting it out there....Now I have to select a piece of jewellery...something for my wedding I think.

A Post Looking for a Sign

* image found here

So while on the hunt for our wedding bands, engraved, sterling and with any luck some custom tweaks, I came across the above Etsy site.  When I look at an Etsy site I specifically search an artists profile and/or blog if applicable.  This particular blog happens to have a contest every month!  So, as part of the contest AND as an omen to myself I am posting about Trudie's blog, one to increase my chances of winning those sweet little stacking rings and if I do win I will have my sign as to what shop I need to buy our rings from...yes, I know it's superstitious.

Wedding Bands

Wedding ring porn..  The engagement ring shown is just like mine except mine has a square back (the one shown is found here).  H's ring is titanium and found here . 

Again with the beautiful food...

I have a one track mind right now it seems, the tangling of beauty and food...I found this lovely creation on one of my all time fav. wedding sites http://earthfriendlywedding.blogspot.com/

Wedding Details

Well, the details of our wedding are falling into place. Drinking out of mason jars is something I always thought was perfect for a backyard bash and these lanterns from IKEA are perfect for decor and to take home as a favour. Simple, elegant and unique...

Wedding Favour thoughts

Martha Stewart again, this with a little jar of flavoured sugar...perfection.

Parasol Dreams

Just a bit of beauty from Martha Stewart Weddings, this monogrammed parasol is lovely but I'm not a saver, in fact I'm a ruthless declutterer so what on earth would I do with later...I'm not a fan of decorating the house with wedding memories....still it's a picture that inspires.

Our Wedding Song

Here's to bikers, adventurers and free spirits everywhere! This song is by Stereophonics and featured in the amazing Long Way Down documentary with Ewan McGregor...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnmHSpZ6StA

Flowers

Flowers by Nicolette Camille, stunningly done but undone...

The modern day princess, by Jade Daniels. Love the fabric, it looks like the grown up version of a worn out paper bag, The Paper Bag Princess dress...not a bad concept to build your wedding on.

Wish Trees

Wish Tree's, I can't think of a better alternative to the traditional guest book. Whether as a centre piece or a fully grown tree outside. There is power in words "Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think." ~ Lord Byron

I think the colourful ones covered in post it's are a riot!

Although I still have to order them, this will most definately be the wrappers for my wedding cupcakes! http://www.paperorchidstationery.com/index.php

Wedding Card

This is so well done, and marriage really is an adventure isn't it...I must tuck this away and see if they can do a vintage Harley...another great Esty find of course, digitalpaperie

My Kind of Wedding

Beauty is all about contrasts, a pretty dress and rugged boots for example...yes something to keep in mind...This dress is by another Etsy seller, Ktjean.

Flower Girl Dreams

If I was to have a flower girl I would seriously consider this dress, heck I want it myself. It's created by Etsy dealer ILuvTutuMuch.

Today I'm cramming in a few goodies as I suspect I'm going to be quite busy for a bit. PeaceKeeper Cosmetics has long been in my periphery so today I'd like to point out their fab. Kiss Museum http://www.iamapeacekeeper.com/kissmuseum.htm. I love checking out what everyone is grateful for, it reminds me that I have some people I need to pucker up for!

As always I have weddings on the brain right now...how I can obsess so much about a simple backyard bar-b-que is a testament to my love of well-researched details I guess. Sweet Romance online has a decent selection of jewellery but this bee hairband would be adorable at a garden party/wedding.

And finally there's Martha, her poetry wrapped box is adorable and I fully intend to use this template with my own wedding favours. It will definately be re-usable!
