Inspired by the image in the top left corner, this board’s focus is on fruit and flowers — yellow tomatoes, fuchsia peonies, red raspberries, and purple green kale. Very summery, don’t you think? I love the idea of raspberries and blackberries sprinkled around the base of votive candles, and of peaches as place cards. The pop of purple is unexpected with the warm reds and oranges and cool greens, but I’m liking it here.

P.S. Just have to share a few more from the wedding behind the top left image. AMAZING. See more here!

I’m pretty sure you’re all thinking right about now that I should rename this blog Bunting & Bunting, and I have to say I don’t really blame you. BUT I do have two more uber-cute ideas to share with you, and they just happen to involve my favorite strings of triangulated fabric.

First, a bunting invitation. Bunting may play a role in the invites I’m busy mocking up for K + C’s ceremony and reception, so these, from Cakies, have found a soft spot in my heart. Let’s just say they involve Happy Tape and that you should head over to her blog post to have a look at the finished product. Brilliant!

Next, as promised, the bunting cake, from this adorable wedding (image by Colleen Sherman). We’ve pretty much decided that we’re going to be sprucing up simply-decorated cakes bought from a bakery, and though we’ve tossed out several decor ideas, right now I’m loving these mini strings of bunting. Dressing the cake couldn’t be easier, and when it’s time to eat, the (fabric? paper?) flags come right off. And affordable, to boot!

Oh my, will my love for bunting ever end? No, no I don’t think so. Since we’re planning to make plenty of bunting for K + C’s wedding, I think we can find a few extra strands to string up in a portrait area…

This board is definitely different from my usual — in fact, in general, I tend to steer far clear of red + black (it just looks garish too often for my taste). But ever since I saw the top left image on Creature Comforts, this wedding has been brewing in my mind. A celebration of textures and patterns, with a few cute bows added in for good measure. I love how the loops on the silverware, invitations, honey jars, and wrist corsages all mimic each other. And the layered red velvet cake, of course — who could resist?
