If you saw today’s wedding, then you may have spied the rustic wood table numbers. They are so dah-ling, that I felt it necessary we find where you could find your own. The etsy shop, Bragging Bags sells TONS of adorbs wood elements, including table numbers, custom signs, and even wood boutonnieres! You’ve GOT to check out her shop if you’re looking for a few rustic details to incorporate into your wedding!
Argyle. It’s at the heart of ever preppy closet. Can you even imagine throwing an argyle cardi and belt over your bridesmaids’ yellow dresses? Would you dare??? I know I would. It’s positively screaming fall prep! And how about a little washi tape to dress up those invites and these yellow bouquets from Martha Stewart Weddings? The loveliest little bit to send you off for the weekend!

Today marks the last day of summer…at least, that’s how it feels right? While you are out enjoying a Monday off, and hopefully squeezing in the last barbecue of freedom, I thought I’d give you a few snippets of fleeting summer inspiration. I’m sad my flip flops won’t be in overdrive, but if the weather cools down, those leather boots in the back of my closet are ready to get back in the saddle.
For your holiday enjoyment, I think you ought to consider making this Ginger Basil Grapefruit Spritzer from Joylicious, and then, if you’ve got some free time on your hands, heading over to check out the new Matchbook Magazine Issue. If you’re in the fall decorating mood, consider hanging the “Neither Here Nor There” poster somewhere in your vicinity. The goldenrod is really working for the fall, no?
Giving the gift of calories…was there ever anything we didn’t love more? Today’s wedding featured cinnamon rolls for dessert, which I’m absolutely wild about! But if you can’t give up the idea of cake, why not send your guests home with cinnamon rolls as a favor instead? The perfect midnight snack or the next day’s breakfast…win-win situation in my book. I spied a really great example by Lara Rossignol on her blog, Piewacket.
Cinnamon rolls in vintage french tins are superbly darling, but possibly just a tad unrealistic for 100 guests. Never fear though! There are lots of really great resources for tin boxes, like this one (many of which are surprising affordable when you’re ordering in bulk!!!). They are perfectly sized for a few rolls and a custom label/bow situation would doll those puppies right up! Oh…or perhaps tie to the top of your tin either a vintage fork (if you feel like collecting these at flea marts) or a wood fork for a more rustic look (wanna see what I mean? Check out Dani’s wedding from Oh, Hello Friend right here). Either way, ridic cute, right?
Oh, Cinnamon rolls. I both love and hate you.
How much did you love the Cigar Box Succulent Centerpieces from our wedding earlier today?
If you want to make the look your own, a search on Etsy for vintage cigar boxes turns up some great results, but here’s a link to one of my fave listings. You can also just keep an eye out at flea markets, thrift stores and antique shops. They’re always around!
