Snippet and Ink is one of the best wedding resources out there!
Daily inspiration boards, giveaways, and real weddings make this blog worth reading everyday.
Here is a small peek:

Board #271: Lemon-Lime
How cool do you have to be to wear a mini-dress on your wedding day? Pair it with a chic mini-coat and yellow heels, and you’re all set. (Well, that and figure out where that amazing interior is and convince them to let you have your reception there.) The different elements in this wedding board - from the mix-tape invitation to the craspedia bouquet - are both modern and retro mod, and I think they fit together nicely. I included pops of both lemon yellow and lime green here, but you could easily go with one or the other.

Mood: playful, mod
Palette: lemon, lime, white, touches of gray

After two weeks of feeling more like a machine than human,
this necklace really speaks to me.

Meet Robot 218 from Silent Goddess, one of my favorite sellers on Etsy.
She made my logo into the most gorgeous pendant.
More posts and giveaways to come soon…after I get caught up on emails!

My new tote from DrikaB!
I ordered a clutch to match and I can not wait until they arrive!
Happy Friday!

Claire and Huw will be getting married in just a few short days,and I wanted to share with you their incredibly wonderful invitations! The couple wanted to create a vintage/1930s/grand tour of Europe feel. How did they do that? By creating mini suitcases filled with many goodies, including chocolate, luggage tags, and my Passport invite!

From Claire: “We started off with brown flat pack cardboard boxes and covered them with leatherette style sticky back plastic. We had little 3″ leather handles which I attached paper luggage labels with destination and the recipients’ name on it.

We used metal studs for the bottom to make them stand up.

Then we lined them with cotton print fabric using double sided tape to attach.

I then spent about 2 hours cutting a piece of tweed fabric into strips which were used as the straps (more double sided tape!!) and finally I got to stick on my v cool vintage luggage stickers (even more double sided tape!!)

Inside we put our splendid invites and reply cards (everyone loved these!).

All travel documentation was put into envelopes made from italian map scrapbook paper - by Huw) and tied with pink and orange ribbons (the colours of my bouquet).

Everyone got a leather luggage tag and a pink organza bag with Italian chocolates called Baci.  These have a little note inside which has a romantic saying or quotation on it.”

Thanks for sharing Claire and Huw!
I know your wedding day will be perfect and sweet!

AND THE WINNER IS….

Hollie Anderson from California!
