Wouldn't these make an amazing favor display? Japanese chiyogami tins from Gamiworks seller on Etsy. I'd fill them with jelly beans or something small and sweet, and line them up exactly like this on a table for guests to take.

Check out the amazing fascinators and hair accessories over at Lo Boheme on Etsy. I love the feathery look!

I think I have the fever. The cabin fever. I'm dying to open my windows, feel a cool breeze, eat some fresh, ripe fruit (thanks to this this post by Cannelle et Vanille) smell grass! If only...
Alas, I think we're getting another 10 inches of snow before the end of the day Wednesday, that means I will have to travel far and wide for the cure to my fever. On the plus side, I did find some amazing deals on flights to California this afternoon... there may be a vacation in my future?? I hope.
In the mean time, I'm entertaining myself by looking for stylish conflict-free engagement rings for a newly engaged reader, Cami (congrats!). Sarah Perlis makes a few of my absolute favorites, some are even made with recycled gold. Love the rough cut stone!

If I had to create an SAT-style statement about it, I'd say that the Real Simple Weddings book is to wedding planning what the Domino Book of Decorating is to modern decor. It's kind of a general guide that explains the principals behind planning a beautiful wedding, rather than recommending specific products that are too expensive for the average bride to afford. I find this sort of advice more helpful anyway, don't you? It's a little on the small side, as I would like even more information, but for the price, it's totally worth it. The floral section is amazing!

From the Cakegirls. These girls know how to make a cake! If you're looking for a little inspiration for your cake, look no further. If you're lucky enough to live in Chicago, give these girls a call!

I love this! Lockets are one of my favorite things to give, or get... and I have my eye on this one.

Making me wish Anthropologie had a registry service... These are so me.

My favorite grass-friendly sandals for outdoor weddings this spring! If you're looking for a heel, the turquoise wedges are just the right mix of dressy and dainty (from Lily Pulitzer). Both the flats would look amazing with a flowy grecian dress... The first ones are quite affordable, from Jessica Bennett. The second ones are Stuart Weitzman, and perhaps my favorite pair of the three, so delicate and feminine. Not a single stick-in-the-mud in the crowd!

We all need a little Modern Romance, no? Check out their amazing wraps, veils, and wedding accessories if you're looking to add a little somethin' to your ensemble. Love!

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?
