(#29) Just a glimpse...

of Thanksgiving table inspirataion from a beautiful wedding! Loving the refreshing, rustic change from all those dark harvest colors, and I'm off to buy a bolt of burlap! (Photos by Carrie Patterson , directions here, rest of the wedding here! All via Style Me Pretty)

A real wedding via Veranda

I saved the pictures from this gorgeous wedding when it was in the May or June issue of Veranda. It's spectacular, to say the least. It took place in the countryside outside of Paris, and was inspired by a curiosity cabinet on the grounds of the estate. Styled by the bride, Kelly d'Halluin.

Snaps from a summer wedding at The Manor...a hidden little gem of a garden north of Seattle.

A very short week in review

It's been a busy week--a few meetings with clients, putting together a new class that I'm teaching, preparing for a gorgeous deep lapiz and mango wedding this weekend, and full planning mode for that Alabama wedding. (I can't wait Katie and Grant!) Not much reading time, but I did notice that:

Sweet Paul loves passionfruit (though probably not as much as I do. It is my VERY favorite food on earth. #1! If you are San Francisco, go immediately to Tartine for their Passionfruit Bavarian. Life changing I tell ya)

J.Crew released a new bridesmaid dress style. Gorgeous.

Kathryn has been taking her Snippet & Ink readers on a tour of the US. My favorite boards so far are this pale sagey desert board and the rustic bluegrass wedding.

I'm off to put finishing touches on the flowers for today! Next week I promise to get a real wedding up (I've got several I just need to pull pictures for), and find something yummy for you to bake. Have a great weekend!
