Writing On The Walls
Posted by Crystal in DIY Weddings, Decorations, Hot Trends
I shared a while back about the hot new trend towards wedding graffitti – or custom wedding wall art. Today I found another great site offering wall art. Quotes On The Wall specializes in home decor wall quotes but they have a few wedding worthy quotes. They also offer custom quotes and graphics! They are a bit more budget friendly then some of the bigger names I have seen, so check them out! The samples show below were less then $30 each.


COTW: Blue & Yellow Bridesmaids
Posted by Crystal in Hot Trends, Weddng Party Attire
Two of my favorite trends in bridesmaid gowns this year are contrasting sashes and printed fabrics – so I picked blue and yellow bridesmaid gowns to fit those trends. The first is a blue gown with double ribbon sash and bow in yellow by Jordan. The second is a yellow tea length with a blue floral print from Watters & Watters:)

I won’t link to the auctions as auctions are constantly ending – but visit ebay and do a search! You might find these or better!
I found – garter belts, jewelry, favors, invitations, dresses, handbags, guestbooks, ring pillows and pew bows! Click on images to see larger versions.
DIY Thank You Cards
Posted by Crystal in DIY Weddings, Flower Wedding Themes, Guest List, Hot Trends, Invitations, Wedding Themes

I found these at a vendor party I attended earlier today. They are called "perfectly printables" from Patty Gale Designs which basically means you print them yourself. When I saw this one – I feel in love.
The design is $1.99 – and you can print it as often as you wish! Perfect for all those wedding thank you notes you will need to send out in the next few months. Just purchase some thick paper and envelopes – then print them out as needed!
They also have a blank design available, also $1.99. This one could be used for thank you notes, bridal shower invitations, "will you be my bridesmaid" notes, save the date notes, and even as the wedding program for a totally co-ordinated look! And you only have to buy the design once!
You get to download the design immediatly so you could be printing in minutes.

My New Necklace

I did a graphics project for a jewelry business last month and was rewarded with a very cute necklace – the purple one with the daisy. I just got it in them mail today and I am TOTALLY in love with it. So of course, being me, my first thought was "I wonder if they have wedding stuff?" Lol, yes I am addicted. How can you tell!
So, I went looking and found this blue one that was just added. Isn't it goregous! Beaded jewelry are one of this wear's hottest trends, and this oen is absolutely perfect for a beach wedding! The best part is the price: only $20! They have some other colors and styles shown on site and in their gallery as well! Take a look! I bet if you emailed them, they'd probably make one with your choice of theme or color as well. Each one is hand made so it can be customized to suit.
I have the perfect dress to wear with this necklace this summer. I can't wait to go out and show it off.
P.S. Did I mention - you can get matching earrings as well!! No kidding!
