I found a new favorite. *sigh*….love when that happens.

Jill Thomas Photography- check out this elopement that she photographed a little while back. I’m loving this couple’s style and individuality. They are a stand out pair to say the least.

Eloping seems so romantic sometimes! An intimately small guestlist (or nonexistent one) is definitely something to consider. Maybe your wedding would be perfect with just the two of you or just a handful of the people that matter most…

recommended activity for the next few minutes- head over to Jill’s blog for more inspiration.

One of the easiest ways to dress up all those little spaces that people will see at your wedding (think escort card tables, bathroom counters, entry way areas, etc) is to use jars, vases, and other nifty containers that are filled with creative (and cheap!) things!

Anything from sand, stones, collections of various things, or fruit! Take a look around your neighborhood and get creative! I’ve got some pictures to inspire you below:

For a holiday wedding- ornaments make great fillers.

These veggies are cooked…but you could use raw veggies that fit your color palette. 

For fall, pinecones and acorns are great! I’m sure you can find something at your local craft store to spray these with to give them a sheen if desired. 

collections of items can add a vintage touch… love this.

This wedding is warm and cozy with vintage, romantic elements. I could see it in a mountain setting with lots of candlelight. Love!

I love when the Project Runway designers put their designs on etsy! Here are some of the latest dresses from season 8 winner Leanne and the Leanimal Etsy shop.

Not your average wedding dresses but I love them! She has some cute dresses for a night out too!

I saw this bride a few weeks ago and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the boldness of her jewelry! You don’t see many brides with big jewelry on their wedding day, but it’s becoming more and more popular. This couple looks awesome! Photos by the talented Aaron Shintaku.

See the entire wedding here!

If you are on the hunt for a super unique statement necklace for your wedding day, you may want to try etsy. I found these vintage inspired beauties by A Luscious Thing:

for the right bride, these could be a great accessory!

One of my favorite non-wedding blogs, Black .White. Yellow, featured the work of photo stylist Lo Bjurulf, the other day and I was blown away. I ventured over to the website and found some great wedding inspiration-SCORE!!! Take a look at these settings…these combinations could be beautiful in a wedding.

I love the use of lemons in this one!

And this one has so much warmth and comfort….perfect for a fall wedding.

Hope you can take some inspiration from these- Have a great weekend!

Veils aren’t for everyone, and who says they should be? Here are some gorgeous alternatives for your wedding day.
