Cupcakes are cute, but to freshen up the dessert, just add toppers. The bride made these by cutting out bird shapes from pretty, patterned paper, attaching them to toothpicks, then sticking one in each cupcake.

p.s. I’m especially loving that cake b/c I have the same cakestand in my kitchen. It was my grandmother’s and I use it to hold apples and clementines. )

At Jenn and Jim’s wedding, every table was named after places in children’s books. Wouldn’t it be fun to seat whoever’s been stressing you out at Far Far Away?

Lauren and Scott were married at Old Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in New York on August 1st; a reception followed at Liberty House in Jersey City, New Jersey. Lauren described her wedding style as “modern with a vintage twist.”

“We made the save-the-dates ourselves. We took handmade save-the-date signs into a vintage photo booth and held up ‘Save the date 8/1/09.’ The theme progressed from there.”

Minna at Minna Designs was so kind to coordinate this post between Lauren and little white book. Her beautiful paper goods were woven throughout Lauren and Scott’s wedding from the invitations, to the programs, to the menu cards, all full of fuchsia flourishes and modern vintage detailing.

Lauren’s favorite moment of the night was the sparkler exit. “Having all of our friends and family together in one place, sending us off with happiness was so meaningful. As we ran through the line, we looked out onto the Manhattan skyline, facing where Scott and I were starting our life together. It was such a magical way to end our wedding day!” Congratulations Lauren and Scott! And a big, big thank you to Minna of Minna Designs and Anne Constance of Anne Constance Photography.

So I’m not usually a fan of spraypainted flowers, but these gold berries won me over. They’re a perfect match to the bouquet wrap and coordinate with the pearl brooches so well.

Could there be a more perfect spot for a bouquet toss?!

Meredith and Barrett were married just a few weeks ago – on August 29th – in Indianapolis, Indiana. Meredith described her style as “timeless, elegant, romantic…” She and Barrett had a truly classic all white ceremony at Historic Union Station. The reception was designed in shades of black, green and white. After the reception, Meredith and Barrett met friends for a late night party. Josh of Bella Grace Studios photographed their wedding — I truly don’t think I’ve ever seen such pretty formal shots. And, check out the bridesmaids dresses – they’re divine!

This idea kind of runs along the same lines as borrowing your grandparent’s wedding cake topper: borrow antique furniture from your family and incorporate it into your wedding decor. Here, an old wooden chair creates the perfect pedestal for a rustic flower arrangement at a wedding ceremony – that’s what I call personal.
