White on white wedding cake has gone from chic, to passe, to chic again. I'm fully embracing it, but only if it's as elegant and creative as this one. What about you? White cake? Colorful cake? What are you planning?

Don't miss the fantastic love and wedding themed market this month at Poppytalk Handmade. Love the necklaces by finch metal, the cake topper by emilie friday and the adorable paraphernalia by paraphernalia. Stop by for Valentine's Day presents, wedding ideas, or something for yourself... but do it soon! The best stuff always sells out fast. Happy hunting!

It's cold and damp here, and the ground is covered with snow. We're just getting started with winter, and I'm just starting to get tired of it! These cakes by Ana Parzych are a much needed breath of springtime for a cold Monday morning, and they're just a few of many on Ana's new website. I love the pink one on the top, so cheerful and delicate!

I've made a habit of posting when J.Crew puts out new wedding gowns... they always seem to come up with something interesting, something just left of center. They haven't disappointed me yet!

You know me, I don't usually post about the whole matchy-matchy bridesmaid thing. I tend to prefer a little more style leeway than the typical bridesmaid's dress line offers. Anna Elyse however, makes just truly elegant, beautifully tailored dresses that I would wear even IF it meant I had to dress identically to 7 other women. Anna Elyse also makes any of their silhouettes into wedding gowns, which especially intrigues me in the case of the one shoulder, Brigitte Bardot dress above. Imagine that in thick ivory satin... hot.

I love mobiles. Its probably some leftover fascination from childhood, but I don't care. I think they're gorgeous.
I saw these over at Oh Joy! and was instantly smitten. Wouldn't one of the smaller ones make a fantastic gift? Or hung over the cake table at the wedding reception, then later hung in the house as a beautiful reminder of the wedding? Awesome. By Frazier & Wing.

The newest addition to my blogroll, and my newest addiction. Oh So Beautiful Paper satisfies the design snob, the paper fiend and the wedding buff inside me. What more can you ask for?

I'm back from a decadent 2 weeks of family celebrations. I'm an overstuffed, yet well rested version of myself, so I thought I'd start the year out with a little feasting that doesn't involve huge amount of calories.
The images above all from David Stark, master of event design. I love how he adds light to ordinary materials like paper and paint cans (!) to create something truly magical. I adore the bouquet at the top, and wonder, in a twisted-glutton-for-punishment kind of way, how long it might take me to make one for myself? Hmmmm.

Yes! You're still on Something Old, Something New. We've just gotten a little bit of a face lift. The hubs toiled away all day today and yesterday getting the re-designed template uploaded into Blogger. For those of you who work with Blogger, you know that this is not the easiest thing to do. But, after much cursing and coding, it's up! I hope you like it! I'll be back with all new posts on Monday, Happy New Year!!!
