Shoe Decals

Shoes, shoes, shoes, and shoes....these are a few of a girl's favorite things! And why not, shoes are absolutely fabulous, are they not? When I saw these new shoe decals on Etsy, I couldn't believe wedding shoes could get any better, but they do!



These decals are so adorable (and make for a great close-up photo of the shoes!).

How awesome of an idea are these??

Bridesmaids Hangers

The morning of the wedding you'll be hang-ing around getting your hair done, hang-ing around getting your makeup done, all while hang-ing out with your bridesmaids. This is why these hangers from Etsy are such a perfect gift for all of your bridesmaids for that morning when you're all hang-ing around and getting ready!

Do you guys not think these are so perfect for just hang-ing around?!?

I Spy Wedding Game

I Spy with my little eye....someone in love! I Spy with my little eye....the most gorgeous cake ever! I Spy with my little eye....well I think someone that supposed to be dancing? We've all played the I Spy game as a kid, so why forget about it now that we're older?



This I Spy Camera Game would be so much fun at your wedding and a great way to keep guests occupied and involved in your special day! An extra plus? You get more wedding pictures out of it-ones you don't even have to pose and smile for!

What are some of the most memorable moments you've spied at weddings??

Wedding Gift for Mom

Wedding day is a bride's big day-the day she's dreamed about since she was a little girl. But the bride is not the only one who it's a big day for.



From the time her daughter is a little girl, a mother dreams of the day she will help her daughter into her wedding gown, and the man who will stand beside her. A mother teaches her son to be the perfect man, so that she can one day watch him marry the perfect woman.



While the wedding day is filled with happiness and laughter, there are also those tears of joy that flow as well-trust me, I've done a few of these. These handkerchiefs from Etsy are such thoughtful, adorable gifts for a bride to give to her mother and/or mother-in-law to keep their eyes dry during the day.

How sweet are these?? I'm not sure how I'm going to keep it together when Gabriel or Zachary are walking down the aisle, I already cry at every Mother Son Dance! 

 Have any of you moms ever gotten anything special from your bride or groom on their wedding day?

Fairytale Reception Sign

The wedding day is the one day every girl dreams of from the time she's a little girl-the one day on which she gets to be the princess in her own fairytale.



What better way to keep the fairytale alive than with this sign from Etsy pointing guests in the direction of the reception??

DIY Week Part 4

For part four of this Do-It-Yourself week, I love love loved these retro pin wheel centerpieces from Emmaline Bride they found by Elizabeth St on Etsy! These adorable pin wheels are such a great way to make your bridal shower or retro wedding that much more fun!

I loved these, what do you guys think of them??

confessions... of a Ding Dong!

i can honestly say without any reservations that I am a ding dong! I am far from perfect and in fact some days... i might even goes as far as to think, i may be far from even mediocre! LOL i still love me, but sometimes i want to spank my own ass for my ridiculous nature!

example you ask???... why sure... this week i actually flayed my knuckle ( on my dominate hand, pointer finger mind you ) on an aluminum can lid trying to dig out refried beans as fast as i could. yep, that's me... in all my glory of not paying attention to the task on hand, while attempting to use super human speed to achieve it! Uuugg...

thankfully, i have other hobbies ( like reading smutty books ) to keep me busy while i wait to heal from not only the finger, but the lovely tetanus shot i got to with it as a side note!   love, i love me, i love me so much... ;P

bright side???...  was that my mail days have been fabulous! If only i could sew, eh...

per Sew Mama Sew ( which is currently ** as in TODAY ** are doing a give-a-way for the book Pretty in Patchwork: Doll Quilts! )...

i found this little Etsy shop and treated myself to an adorable holiday kit!

and from this lovely swap... i received these trinkets of joy!!! Sigh... 

Thank you so much Melissa!!! They couldn't have been any more amazing! Perfect colors, detailing, and thought put into them! xoxoxo

then the sweetest little private swap arrived from one of my blog readers!! can you believe she agreed to make me flying geese!  MMMmwah... miss Natalie!! these are going to make the swankiest throw pillows for my living room! :) 

and being the dollface that she is... she totally sent me one of her book covers!! hello heaven! ;)

yeah... i guess it could have been worse week!   although, i'm still pretty peeved at myself!!( wink,wink )

Special Event Tags

Mayasmommas from Etsy sent us these special event tags to sample and we just love them!! They are so cute and unique!

The tags are handmade and aged in coffee! They are seriously a perfect detail for country, outdoor, rustic and vintage weddings and other events too! They come in different sizes and styles.



I had a little fun with them and thought up a couple different ways to use them. Please excuse my amateur photography!

A thank you tag for favors or whatever! It would be really cute to put your personalized logo or monogram on the back!

Table numbers!

Placecards!

Even as a gift tag!

These tags are so versatile, you can use them any way you can think of. Here are some ways that other brides have used them!
