Because I introduced Peach & Pearl’s first giveaway yesterday (Go enter! Click here now!), I decided to save Monday’s inspiration board for today, which is appropriate since it’s in honor of St. Patrick’s Day! I fell in love with the emerald-kelly-almost blue green of the rustic old mailbox in the top photo, and decided to build a board around it. Subtle nods to Ireland – a clover charm necklace, a fiddler for the cocktail hour, Guinness at the reception – as well as a horseshoe-themed invitation set make for a fun but not cheesy, elegant but modern wedding. And who wouldn’t want a little extra luck to start a marriage off on the right foot?

I’m soon going to be faced with the prospect of decorating some blank walls myself and have decided to order a few poster prints, as well. I’m deciding between two options:
Both photos are of my father’s family farm, one of my favorite places.

Good morning! I hope you all had a lovely & relaxing weekend. I thought I’d start off the week by sharing a few photos from my recent road trip. Along the way we stopped in DC, Great Falls National Park (Virginia), Cumberland Island (Georgia), Savannah, and Durham & Chapel Hill. It was amazing and exciting and beautiful, everything you could hope from a jaunt on the open road… but I’m glad to be back and happy to share a snapshot of our trip with you!
Hurry back soon to enter Peach & Pearl’s first ever GIVEAWAY!

Happy weekend, all! I’m back from my travels and ready to get down to business. I have so many exciting things lined up for next week, including introductions to two new{ish} vendors I met at the Cape Cod Well Wed event last weekend! Until then, check out the new “Favorites” section in the left margin – it features some of my very favorite photographers, event planners, calligraphers, and other wedding lovelies.
P.S. Does anyone know a good source for vintage suitcases and/or steamer trunks? I’m on the hunt for one of my current projects. Any tips you could pass along would be most appreciated!
