While not at their prettiest inside their wrappers, these stained glass candies would be beautiful displayed in a glass jar, en masse. They come in several different flavors, including black and white coconut and chocolate, bright red cinnamon, vibrant orange, and many others. They could be lovely as favors in see-thru boxes.

The proprietor of a delightful little Etsy shop called Hazelnut Cottage emailed me this weekend to tell me about her wedding jewelry and accessories. I love the delicate customized bouquet charms (right), as well as her gorgeous vintage inspired jewelry. Check her out!

I've been finding so many nice evening bags lately! I love the clutches at Holland Cox for their originality and affordability. There's something disturbing about dropping large quantities of cash on something that will only see the light of day a few times a year. At $60 each, you can feel good about having a little extra cash to keep in the bag after you buy it.

Faceted Calcite, Green Amethyst, and Champagne Quartz jewelry from one of my favorite jewelry designers of all time, Becky Kelso. The vine earrings are a perfect balance between special and wearable, making them worth the splurge. And the ring? That just makes me happy. I love that green!

Some more great finds from Estilo Weddings, either for well wishes, money envelopes, or as a guestbook of sorts. Have each guest write their best advice for a happy marriage on a card and drop it inside the box. Open the box and read all the advice the day after your wedding with the new hubs. You'll laugh, you'll most likely cry... you might even take some of the advice.

I love the vintage inspired, custom-made gowns over at Joan Shum's Etsy shop. This tea length corset-ed number is my absolute favorite, and reminds me of a 1950's Vogue cover. She also has a wonderful 1940's inspired shirt-sleeve dress that I love called The White Dahlia. What a great name! Check her out!

I'm back! And to start my return off in style, I'm pointing you in the direction of these amazing gowns over at Neiman Marcus. I love that each of these dresses has a rather unexpected type bow. Be it minimal or right up front and center, they're not your Moma's bows. The first one is Jay Godfrey (for a steal) the second is a bit more indulgent, but certainly no less stunning, from Dior.

I'm off for a few days to look after some Kenzie Kate stuff. I'll be back to regular posting on Monday. In the mean time, check out some of my favorite wed-blogs for your daily dose of wed-spiration (over in the right hand column). Or, check out the cataloged post categories to the left, with over 500 posts logged, you're sure to find something that tickles your fancy! In the mean time, I'm leaving you with one of my favorite recent pics of Short-Round (so coy!). Have a great week everyone!

Beautiful stuff from Moritz Glik over at Fragments. Love the circular ring on the right, even if I can't quite figure out how that diamond in the center is staying put.

Just a few of my favorite favors over at Beau-coup Wedding Favors. All seem to be wee versions of things I enjoy full size. The mini steamers? Oh so cute. Although, I did not see any mini shu mai. I feel quite strongly that mini steamers should come with mini dumplings.
