The other weekend we spotted this cardboard honeycomb Wish Wall by Cardboard Design in the window of Paper Presentation (which shares the same owner). We immediately thought of what a cool thing this would be in lieu of a wedding guest book! Guests write their messages on slips of colorful paper…

The effect of the colors is pretty cool, and you can also write letters (like “Guest Book”), lite-brite style!

It comes in this small ready-made size, as well as in custom sizes.

Ever since we spotted them over on Swiss Miss, we’ve been a wee bit obsessed with these Personality Socks! How cute are they?

Probably pretty easy to knit/make…hmmm…

We’ve long been fans of Ann Wood’s cake toppers and birds, so were thrilled to discover Ashley Anna Brown — her charming birds have a slightly rounder shape and come in a lovely palette of vintage fabrics. Perfect for cake toppers or just to have/covet!

She also makes other adorable critters, like this funny pair…

Or these tweedy feline friends!

Love all the delicate details. Check out more images of her fabulous creations here.

Spotted via Grey Likes Weddings, who also recently featured our Woodland Print! Thanks, Grey!

Castle in the Air is hands-down one of our favorite resources for crafting supplies. We paid a visit a couple weeks ago (along with our other favorite, Tail of the Yak), and it was fabulous as usual!

Their displays of whimsical hand-crafted goodies are always inspiring!

In addition Castle in the Air is the source for hard-to-find crafting supplies.

German crepe paper - essential for making crepe paper flowers!

German glass glitter in an array of colors…

Dredsen paper embellishments - so lovely for crafting - they have one of the best selections anywhere.

Pretty papers. They also have a great array of calligraphy supplies, felts, rubber stamps, and other crafting essentials. Luckily for all you folks who don’t live in the Bay Area, they have a fantastic website, so you can order all these gorgeous supplies online.  And check out their blog for crafting ideas.

We absolutely LOVE vintage clothing and vintage dresses in particular.  Timeless Vixen Vintage (found via Snippet & Ink - Merry Go Round inspiration board) has not only an amazing selection of gorgeous dresses, but remarkably, many of them are in reasonable sizes as well!  How fabulous would these dresses be for bridemaids?

The dresses are a wee bit pricey, but so fantastic and in such great condition, it might very well be worth it for a special occasion!

Love this 40’s number…

We can’t get over their really stunning selection of stylish pieces…

Love the cherry red! And a fifties party dress is flattering on almost anyone…

And they have gorgeous things from somewhat harder to find eras, like this navy blue 1930’s flutter dress…(and it’s not a size 0!  No offense to all you size 0’s out there, but for those of us who have so often gazed longingly at a gorgeous bit of vintage with a 25″ waist and then, regretfully, put it back on the rack - hurrah!!)

This Edwardian tea dress would make a stunning wedding dress…it reminds of us the dress worn in this woodland inspired wedding….

Love, love, LOVE it!

Her work for the Macy’s Flower Show has been noted by many, but we couldn’t resist posting about the amazingly talented Eloise Corr Danch.

Stunning Rococco creation from her earlier work. So inspiring!

You’re probably familiar with Cig Harvey’s photography via her amazing work for Kate Spade - her work is sooo beautiful! She’s up there with Tim Walker as one of our favorite photographers - love her surreal, ethereal and vibrant compositions.

These images are so inspiring for weddings: great ideas for palette, patterns, and general mood/style…

We recently spotted a great interview with her on  A Little Sussy. Very inspiring!

Check out her entire portfolio here.

We’re in love with this gorgeous baby shower by Sugar Coated Events, via Concrete and Honey. The muted palette and pretty details would be perfect for a wedding, too…

Gorgeous candy bar, cupcakes and favors…

Love subtle tone-on-tone teacup flower arrangements. More beautiful pics (by Nicola Greenaway and Karen Greenaway) here.

It was a crafty weekend - Eunice made these adorable tiny baby moccasins! 

These are the perfect crafting combo: super cute AND ridiculously easy to make! DIY instructions and more inspiration available from Purl Bee.

Thanks to photographer Sabine Scherer or sharing these gorgeous photos she recently took of an incredible Marie Antoinette-inspired cake by Cake Coquette!

The cake topper was flown in from La Durée in Paris!

Seriously, this cake (or a reproduction of it!) belongs in a museum. And Sabine’s photography truly “takes the cake” (ugh, sorry - we couldn’t resist!). Check out more of her work here,  here and here.
