Etsy {Weds}day: Summer Black & White
When it comes to formal events, black and white is a classic and sophisticated option. The trouble with black and white is that it can be associated with stuffiness and very serious affairs. For a lighter (but no less beautiful) approach, a summer black and white wedding featuring soft shapes, organic materials and a variety of patterns is perfectly appropriate. Today’s Etsy {Weds}day picks are just what I have in mind.

Weekend Vintage
Happy (belated) 4th of July everyone! I know I’m a day late in posting this Weekend Vintage, but I felt like doing it anyway. Of course, today’s picks were chosen with the holiday weekend in mind. I hope everyone got to do all of the traditional 4th things: see a parade, hang with friends and family, grill out and check out the fireworks. I had a great weekend and I’m sad to see it go. Yay, America…happy, happy birthday!

Etsy {Weds}day: A Garden Wedding
This past weekend I was able to attend a really lovely outdoor wedding. The ceremony was held in a simple gazebo with flowers and trees all around. The father-of-the-groom had a caterpillar crawling on his shoulder throughout. The clouds threatened to let loose in a very serious way. While it was not an idyllic wedding day, it was a beautiful sort of “one with nature” experience. Today’s Etsy picks are inspired by those brave enough to commit to the garden wedding and all that it entails.
