For all of your lovely and encouraging support this first week. Which was shiny and pink and beautiful for the first few days but quickly deteriorated into teeth gnashing and hair pulling and other unladylike behavior. We’ve been infected with server issues that are far too tedious to explain, but we can see the other side and we hope hope hope you come back next week when things are in their proper places.
If anyone has sent an email in the last few days and not heard a response or had it bounced back, we’re still here! Please try again.
And on the unsolicited advice front, if you’re considering hosting with Go Daddy, think again sister. That’s all we have to say about that.
Have a pretty weekend.

Posting Liss & Tyler’s pretty beach wedding got us going on the fabric photobooth idea again. It’s such a cute way to dress up your wedding and to get your guests excited about taking pictures. Liss mentioned that her inspiration was Lena Corwin’s practically famous (to us wedding aficionadas anyway) woodsy Sierra foothills wedding. And we don’t blame her for a second. As we all know, it was amazing.
Browsing our research folders yesterday, we uncovered a bunch of fabric samples that look so super cute all lined up together, we couldn’t resist posting:
There are tons of places you can buy fabric for this kind of project. Even an neat old vintage sheet would work perfectly. Our fabrics above are from repro depot, purl, marimekko, Crate & Barrel, Denyse Schmidt, Amy Butler, and Paperhill Fabrics on etsy. But there’s also ebay, thrift stores, and local fabric shops that would have great discounted end pieces. All you need is a sturdy piece of string and a handful of clothespins to set your own up.

We’re aware that everyone loves Jenny Yoo’s insanely beautiful bridesmaids line, but we hadn’t really spent much time snooping around her site. Until yesterday when we found her “wedding alternatives” collection. Um, helloooo perfect dresses for under $1,000! I can’t figure out what makes these “alternatives” as opposed to legit wedding dresses, but we’ll take them. Especially when paired with the perfect accessory. Enter the headpiece du jour: a ban.do.
Here’s the plan:
1) Choose one of Jenny’s beautiful, relatively inexpensive white dresses (a few faves below)
2) Select ban.do headpiece or belt of choice (cannot stop obsessing about these)
3) There really isn’t a 3. Except of course shoes. We do love the shoe part.

Firstly, we have to say that we LOVE Snippet & Ink and her seriously, shockingly amazing inspiration boards. So this is absolutely not intended to imply that we aren’t obsessed with her blog. Because we are. But we’re also kind of liking this simplified, not purely wedding sort.
It’s a great way to find an interesting palette, no? We’re completely hooked, which means we’re maybe going to need to start a series?

We love it when two creative people find each other and end up happily ever after. But we love it MORE when two creative people decide to get married and share their insanely cute wedding (and esp invitations) with us.
Liss is a Bay Area photographer and Tyler is radically talented designer. Umsoyeah, their wedding is serious fodder for inspiration. Tyler designed the entire invitation suite (obvs), based on fabric Liss found on ebay. And Liss chose a supremely talented photog friend to shoot their wedding in Isla Mujeres in Mexico. We can’t stop looking at their invites. Who recreates a PASSPORT for their save-the-date?? Sooo cute. And of course they have an awesome (and essential for a destination wedding) website.
We especially love the sweetly detailed but thoroughly laid back beachy feel. You can tell they spent time on the things that really mattered to them and let everything else just be. Purely speculation of course, but we like to think they concentrated their energy on what was important: the two of them, getting hitched on the beach with their close family and friends… surrounded by perfectly designed paper products and patterns.
Bride: Melissa Kaseman, photographer
Groom: Tyler Moore, designer
Venue: Hotel Na Balam, Isla Mujeres Mexico
Photographer: Kira Sugarman Shemano
