Inspiration: A rainbow of vintage typewriters

A vintage typewriter can tie your vintage-style wedding together nicely. And what guest wouldn’t love to type a sweet note to the bride and groom on one of these beautiful typewriters.

Bonus: with a little searching, you can find a typewriter in nearly any color to match your wedding decor.

So cute: DIY mini candybar wrapper

Creature Comforts is one of my loves. Between the inspiration and the sweet tutorials, I might stalk this blog a bit more than I should.

Check out this lovely little freebie – print your own mini candy bar wrappers. These would make a sweet valentines treat – or maybe a cute little wedding favor.

Enjoy.

The veiled truth – how to choose the perfect wedding veil

Choosing the right veil for your wedding can be tricky. The days of only having to choose between a handful of veil-lengths, based on the venue you choose, are long gone.

Now, brides are choosing their wedding veil based on their personality and dress style. Short dresses just scream for short veils or blushers. Long, traditional-style dresses look great with just about any style. Details such as pops of color, gorgeous mantilla lace details and embellishments are all sweet additions.

David’s Bridal has a great resource on veils – if you’re not sure of the right kind for your dress-style, or just want to learn a little before you decide, they offer a pretty solid description of styles and a riduculous selection of styles.

And, OMG, I had NO idea that they have combs and hairflowers – to wear alone or accent your veil (or, as many brides do, swap with the veil after heading down the aisle).

My favorite piece? A sweet Russian netting birdcage veil with a feather-flower embellishment (H7546). So lovely!

Crisp pleats on the dress

Classic touches on a dress can take that fabulous gown of your dreams into a stylish, classic piece that (gasp), even your future daughter may want to wear. The pleats on this gown are AMAZING.

We’d love it see it without a speck of the black stones or rhinestones. This is a case where simplicity would certainly be an improvement.

But the pleats are incredible – crisp, clean, classy.

Love these glitter pumps.

If your budget has wiggle room (enough for $600 shoes), these lovelies would really look incredible peeping out from under your gown (find them here).

And if your budget can’t fit shoes of the caliber (and you’re more of a DIY-kinda gal), I’ll be sharing a tutorial on how to DIY your own glitter pumps (sans red heel). Watch future posts for this fun, easy tutorial.
