BACKYARD SAN DIEGO WEDDING

Wedding Chicks is quickly becoming one of my favorite websites. A few weeks ago they featured this gorgeous wedding photographed by Jackie Wonders. The details put into this day are apparent and I love the mix of soft and romantic with a little bit of edge. Never have I ever seen such a cute photo booth set up- might be one of my favorite weddings yet! Hop on over to Wedding Chicks to see the rest of the snapshots and the story around the big day.

Ps. check out those mustache stamps :-)

FREE WEDDING PRINTABLES

If there is one thing I've learned in the wedding planning process it's that it really is so so expensive! Nothing in the wedding industry comes cheap or free. Or so I thought! Turns out that some wedding sites provide fully customizable printables. Not only are they free but many are beautifully designed! They come in a variety of forms - from full stationery sets and table numbers to treat labels and place cards, it really doesn't get much better. My two favorite sites for free printables are Wedding Chicks and Love vs. Design. Looking forward to taking advantage of these little gifts.

Note: Many can double for ANY celebratory occasion.

MINTED ART COLLECTION

Lately I have been swooning over so many cute art prints from around the ol' world wide Web. When I think about what I'd like to adorn the walls of my home, I imagine these pretties. Brought to us exclusively through Minted and from a variety of brilliant designers, each piece comes in six different sizes, many in a multitude of colors and all printed on quality paper. So many choices, how could you ever pick just one!

I've never tried a gallery wall but I think it's about that time. Any words to the wise on creating one?

From top to bottom:

• sweet treats, by kelli hall
• elegampersand, hello hailey
• zou bisou bisou, by tami bohn {mad men, anyone?}
• a blonde, a bluenette and a readhead, by feb10 design
• some things take time, by mono
• rectangles revisited, by carly reed

And while you are over at Minted, don't forget to stop by and check out my friend Allison's gorgeous stationery, The Social Type.
