I love the idea of incorporating vintage postcards into your invitation design or wedding decor, or using them as save-the-dates or RSVP postcards. Choose ones that represent your wedding location, where you grew up, or where you’re headed on your honeymoon. This could be especially fun for destination weddings! Check out CardCow.com for a selection of thousands of vintage postcards from all over the world. I could get lost exploring their site for hours!
Have you ever had the experience of reading someone’s writing, and loving it so much you feel like you know them, are cosmically connected to them and that they are your new best friend, they just don’t know it yet? Well my new best friend is Molly, author of the charming, thoughtful and perfectly quirky food blog Orangette. She writes about food, cooking and recipes with such affection, and blends her everyday experiences and emotions into the mix. What makes this blog all the more heart warming and fun for Junebug readers is that Molly is getting married to a lovely man named Brandon who she actually met through her blog, so for the last couple of years her relationship and wedding plans have figured prominently in her writing. Read the post where Molly introduces Brandon to her readers, the one where she describes all the things she loves about him, the one about how they came to be engaged (without crying, I dare you!) and the most recent one about the cakes and pickled carrots Molly and Brandon are joyously making for the wedding. This blog is not only a fantastic food resource and inspiration, but it’s a love story, and who doesn’t love that?
Reading around yesterday I came across this fantastic toy, I mean tool, from Big Huge Labs called the Palette Generator. (Thanks Brooklyn Bride and The Paper Pony!) You can upload any image from your computer and it will instantly “create a harmonious color palette” for you. What a great way to come up with a wedding color scheme! Try it out, and I guarantee you’ll be hooked, I sure was. Don’t ask me what in the world I’m going to do with the 20 or so palettes I made!
