A few weeks ago The Man and I were privileged enough to attend the most loving, swankest Brooklyn wedding there ever was. The bride was flawless in a vintage satin dress and the loft that held the wedding was made magical by tons of paper lanterns, doilies and honeycombs. Magnificent!
A Peace Treaty’s new jewelry line, Sunari, is hand-made by Kurdish artisans and born of their pact to create ethical, fair-trade collaborations with war-torn and devastated countries. Also, it’s gorgeous.
Their scarves, collaborations with artists in Afghanistan, Turkey and Pakistan, are amazing as well — and the first thing I’ll buy when I have an extra $125 earmarked for a scarf (maybe someday).
There are some really nice details in this wedding. I especially like the succulents-in-beakers and the shipping tag seat assignments.
When I was in second grade, my mom had the brilliant idea to hand-write invitations to my birthday on balloons — the recipients would have to blow them up to get the party info. Sadly, the marker on latex smudged in the mail and no one could figure out what the balloons were about. My mom’s idea was awesome and creative, but these silk-screened invites are a much safer bet.

I love how Neither Snow proves that you don’t need to be stuffy or old-fashioned to have elegantly addressed envelopes. I mean, this almost looks like something I could manage. Almost.

I absolutely love this really simple, graphic wedding invite — 1-color letterpress with so much character.
Wow. So pretty, Every detail.

And one more, because I couldn’t decide which one to show.
Another great letterpress invite from Erin Jang. I love the security-envelope detail. Click through for more images.
Lovely, woody, letterpress wedding suite.

Online portfolio/blog of NY designer/illustrator Erin Jang has some lovely and inspiring work, like this TOC page for Esquire magazine. Also check out her wedding invites for more great inspiration.
I, like most girls, love tiny things. People, animals, bottles and books (except for those shitty ones they sell by the counter at Barnes & Noble, total waste of money), and I really really love tiny envelopes. I use them whenever I can, which, sadly, is very seldom. Tiny-envelope-invite via Green Wedding Shoes.
I’ve never before seen a cotton bouquet, and had absolutely no idea how chic it would be. I love the look and idea of this. And the best part is, cotton doesn’t die — the bouquet will last forever.

I’ve always loved maps and map pins — maps for their bright colors, expanses of blue, and sober typography; map pins for their perfect little round heads and myriad colors. MapCenter.com is a terrific resource for both. See Jordan Ferney’s sweet newlywed map project on Project Wedding for a great idea of what to do with both.
