Before you take on any DIY projects you should check out this decision flow chart from Heart of Light via 100 Layer Cake. Not just funny & cute, the message is absolutely right on the money. Click here to download the full version. Instead of planning DIY for everything, pick and choose a few elements you want to do yourself and purchase the others ready-made. Your sanity will thank you.
The creative ladies at 100 Layer Cake have really outdone themselves with using vintage earrings as placecard stands. If my name were Theodore, Camille or Madeline, I’d feel very lucky to sit here. What a glam way to bring in a little mix-and-match sparkle to any tables – bridal shower, baby shower, wedding or dinner party!

Just had to share this gorgeous shot from a “Trash the Dress” shoot by Becca Dilley, shot in my home state of Wisconsin! What an amazing idea (and what a brave bride!).

Envelope liners are typically $$$$ but the talented team at Cards and Pockets will let you pick out a pattern, choose the perfect color to print the pattern in, and then create your envelope liners for a cool 45 cents each! Check out these examples below.
If you don’t like any of the 15 pre-designed patterns, you can work with their print department to have custom-designed liners like the gorgeous fuchsia and turquoise one below. Don’t forget that you should also order your envelopes from them to be 100% certain the liners will fit perfectly.
All images courtesty of Cards and Pockets.
Here’s a sneak peek of Lorraine & Dave’s upcoming tablescape featuring a spring-inspired color palette of coral & green! Flowers by the talented Jessie from Rountree Flowers, linens by Cloth Connection.
While searching for the perfect napkins for a client, I stumbled across this fun tool from BBJ Linens called the “Design Your Event Table” virtual tool. It allows you to test out different tablecloths, napkins, chair types and chair accessories for your table design!
Perfect for those doing DIY design for their event and you just can’t decide on the pink tablecloth with the green napkins or the green tablecloth with the pink napkins. Now, if they could just expand it to include flowers, chargers, silverware, glassware and menus!

We are honored to be hand-selected as a top NYC wedding planning studio by Abby and the Style Me Pretty team! The Style Me Pretty Little Black Book is “…a highly edited collection of wedding service providers. Bottom line, these vendors are the best of the best.”
Check out this fantastic detail from Gourmet Invitations. It would be perfect to place on each guest’s bed when they arrive back after the wedding – along with some late-night munchies and water. What a great idea!
I came across this totally unique engagement video by Axioo this morning on Rock and Roll Bride and just had to share it with you! Making your photos into a video is a great new idea and a fun way to get some extra mileage out of your engagement pictures…something to show on a loop during cocktail hour? maybe even after dinner?
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
