My new favorite…

…way to address envelopes! Can’t bring yourself to run those thick, beautiful wedding invitation envelopes though the inkjet but don’t have the budget for calligraphy? Buy a custom handwriting stamp from Lettergirl on Etsy and not only will she solve your conundrum, but you’ll have a reusable return address stamp for use long after the wedding. {Obviously this is a fabulous idea for those of us not planning a wedding, as well!}

Check out her shop here – my other favorite styles are the “Wedding Perfect” and “Wedding Delight.” Both the Perfect and Delight are self-inking, but the “Wedding Script” (shown above) is rubber and can be paired with a coordinating ink of your choice.

Most stamps are between $34 and $38.

Board No. 35: Romance in the Garden

{Click to enlarge!}

For someone who loves the combination of pink + green as much as I do {and oh, I do}, it’s astonishing that I’ve only made one other pink and green board {here it is}. This board was inspired by the top left photo, and I love it’s palette of deep kelly green, blush, and raspberry. If you put together a focal point for the ceremony like the rose-covered shutters in the top right photo, you won’t need any other decorations. It could even be re-purposed as a photo booth backdrop at the reception. Embrace the overgrown-elegant look with wild and lush bouquets, loopy calligraphy, and a retro getaway car.
