Sponsored Post: Feathers & Frills

As much as I absolutely love veils, lately I'm finding myself drawn to pretty headbands and flower headpieces, like these lovelies by Krystle of Feathers & Frills. She calls them confections, which sounds so perfect for such sweet and charming pieces. Here are just a few of the pretties you'll find in her Etsy shop.











Hop over to Feathers & Frills' shop to see all of the other bridal adornments that Krystle has listed - there's plenty more where these came from. And if you're anything like me, you'll have the hardest time choosing just one!

Board #495: Champagne and Cake

Board #495: Champagne and Cake

The other day, I was revisiting one of my very favorite blogs, Faye & Greer. It was one of the first blogs I read, and it was one of the reasons I decided to start Snippet & Ink. Though it's been "out of service" for nearly three years, I still find ideas and inspiration there when I stop by and browse the archives. On this visit, I came across an inspiration board they made for a champagne and cake wedding, and I thought I'd expand on that look and idea for today's post.

Having a champagne and cake reception is such a sweet and sophisticated way of saving money on your wedding. Though I imagined a venue with a rustic feel to it, this type of wedding could easily translate to a garden setting, church hall, or historic building. Splurge on two or several gorgeous (and delicious) cakes, and buy champagne in bulk (some places will even let you return unopened bottles). Fabric rosettes appear on the bride's dress and the table linens, lending a feminine and romantic touch. Not that good wedding cake needs improvement, but vintage forks with mother-of-pearl handles are a glamorous detail. Send guests home with pretty packages of chocolate truffles.

Mood: romantic and warm (with just a touch of rustic and vintage)
Palette: champagne, sugar, rosé

A swoonworthy vintage wedding
I'm swooning over the vintage wedding of Zola and Derick. Her dress is one of the prettiest, well-fitting vintage gowns I've ever seen, and I've been loving this new trend of the photo frame wall (anyone want to build me one of these?).
The wedding is posted all across the blogosphere here, here and here.

San Francisco: The Sights

por | | 0 comments

Because I'm a crazy person, this is a very picture-heavy post, so I'm going to keep the words to a minimum. Just know that San Francisco is a beautiful city, with some of the most gorgeous parks and free, public spaces I've ever seen.

San Francisco: The Sights
San Francisco: The SightsYou can cross the bridge, which is about a mile and a half, but we just walked halfway out and came back.

San Francisco: The SightsThe area around the bridge is called the Presidio, and curves along the shoreline. This was a dog beach we passed on our walk.

San Francisco: The SightsClose to the Presidio is the Palace of Fine Arts. It's a leftover from an expo at the turn of the century and is the only remaining building that was constructed out of permanent materials. It is breathtakingly gorgeous, and currently under repairs.

San Francisco: The Sights
San Francisco: The SightsOn our walk to Dynamo Donut, we traveled through the Latin part of town. I tried to convince Sean to buy a Mexican wrestling mask, but he ignored me.

San Francisco: The SightsGates at the City College of San Francisco's Mission branch.

San Francisco: The SightsIndex card portraits outside Dog-Eared Books on Valencia Street in the Mission.

San Francisco: The SightsThe outside of 826 Valencia, Dave Eggers' now-national nonprofit devoted to teaching kids how to write. Each branch has a themed storefront to generate funds; this one has a pirate supply store. Next door is Paxton Gate, an amazing store that sells everything you would need to make your home look like a museum of natural history or a mad scientist's lab.

San Francisco: The SightsThe rainbow flags in the Castro, called "the gayest corner in the world."

Board #453: Tuxedo & Mint

por | | 0 comments


Board #453: Tuxedo & Mint

This inspiration board didn't start out with an accent color, but there is the slightest hint of mint green on the walls of Lisa Lefkowitz's photograph, and that inspired the rest of these image choices. I imagine a chic cocktail party, or (yet again) a champagne and dessert reception. Though it may take place in a gorgeous mansion, and though the men may be in black tie attire, formality is no reason to exclude whimsical touches, such as calligraphy cootie catchers or a sweet snack of hot beignets. Though they are certainly not major elements in any wedding, they're a fun touch if you feel up to executing them.

Mood: polished, sweet
Palette: tuxedo black, crisp white, a touch of mint green
