Thank you Vivienne Westwood for your incredibly delightful little treats for our feet.

These will look way too good with my wedding dress! And thank you oncewed for opening my eyes to them!

Finding these inspired me to search for many more shoe delights. I have seen so many brides with so many wonderful shoe choices. And considering my photographer, Tec Petaja, who is known for taking pictures of the feet/shoes of the bride and groom, I knew it would be essential to find some truly fun and unique shoes. Here are some fun delights I stumbled upon:

flats: for those of us who have tinier future husbands (such as myself), or maybe just want to be comfy on our big day.

Anticipation

All I want to do is work on wedding things, and this blog, and registries.

I cannot wait to marry the best man I know and my best friend.

I miss him all of the time.

I'm exhausted.

Just need to get through this next week then Christmas break will save me.

Vintage Love Shoot

I wish Noah and I looked like this everyday of our lives. This is adorable. Why can't we live in the 40s?

Bread of Many

So as I searched around for a stationer to work with to create my invitation suite, I found myself becoming frustrated. People were too expensive or unable to help me. Blah. Blah. Blah. However, then I stumbled upon BreadofMany and found Haley. Her style and creativity are jusssssssssst. (aka really really great). We've already developed a Save the Date together, here are some of the inspirations I sent her (if you're a wedding guest, you'll have to wait to see it!):

Holly made most of the personal touches and details involved in and throughout the wedding and reception. Bahhh. This wedding is just phenomenal. Check out the rest of it here.

florist, check.

Hannah of Modern Bouquet will be designing the florals for our wedding! I came across her site after perusing through the Knot. I was thus far disappointed in several sites I had viewed and then Modern Bouquet stole my little heart. The variety displayed on their site is what got me; she has done all sorts of florals for all sorts of weddings.

After meeting at Starbucks with my mama and Hannah I was just all the more excited to have her do our wedding. She completely got my vision and was just as thrilled about the florals I showed her as I was. She put together an estimate for us. I just about died when I opened it imagining what my florals would look like. Bridal bouquet of peonies with stems exposed, baby's breath bunched down the aisle, maid's bouquet of peonies, ranunculus, atsilbe, eucalyptus, table scapes with vintage vessels (provided by me!) filled with lush greens, ranunculus, queen anne's lace, atsilbe, hydrangea, baby daises, garden roses, potted plants, wheat, amaranthus, dahlias all in a loose open design. yummmmm. something kind of like this:
