Cute bits and bobs!

Loving the etsy shop INK + WIT - such cute little pieces - from patterned papers and stationary, to bunting and stamps with cute and quirky images (perfect for making your own cards and adding a personal touch to letters... if people send letters anymore!)

Cute carnival themed engagement shoot!

OMG! How cute is this Carnival themed engagment party from green wedding shoes?

I am actually in love... and a little bit sad that despite being engaged for nearly two years (this christmas) we still havn't had one! I now desperately want one! The amazing stationary were designed by the bride's friend, the food was all organised by family and the decorations were DIY, borrowed or given as gifts... Dreamy!

See more on the bride's blog:

It's all in the paper!

Continuing my interest in all of the little details that people put into making their wedding stationary amazing I found these invitations on Project Wedding.

I like the top set because the maps and calligraphy were all produced by the bride to be herself, the vintage cinema 'ticket' reflected the couples love of film, the printed invitation itself was on vintage floral fabric and hand sewn to card backing. SO much effort went into this and you can completely tell!

The second I love because... well just look at it! Each invitation was individually packaged in a coordinating box with SWEETIES in it :-) How cute is that?

A little something extra...

I am a big believer in the idea that it's the little things that make a big difference and that when it comes to weddings that it is the small details that people remember the most.

I came across these images on The Knot and Green Wedding Shoes and absoloutely love the way that these couple's invitations suites are completely infused with personality and detail. From the vellum printed inserts and photobooth strips to the absoloutely Ah-maz-ing handmade Vintage Book invitations that are unlike anything I have ever seen before.

The bride actually created the Book invitations herself - sourcing vintage books of love poetry and romantic stories, cutting out a section in the middle and printing all of the inserts etc - the copper plate pocket was made by her husband to be and the buttons were all from her grandmother's collection! So romantic, so personal and so unique!

I think i'm in love :-)

Unique Hand-illustrated Save-the-Dates

How cute are these hand-illustrated save the dates from Etsy shop FeliceDesign?

They would be perfect for mine and Scott's wedding - he's a coffee guy and i'm a tea drinker. I'd customize the design a bit more though but the essentials are there :-) Adorable!

Just a little note...

Ok so here's the thing, I truly and honestly believe that alongside shoes, hugs and friends a girl can never have too much paper goods...

Other people tend to go a bit glassy eyed and stare into space once I start going on about paper weight and thickness but this is a subject I am really passionate about... getting married? Don't worry about the flowers think of the invitations...

Having a baby? How are you going to let people know? You get the drift i'm sure...

So when I stumbled upon these cute as cupcake notecards on etsy shop Kawaii De Sune I fell for them big time. I can just see all the possibilities for them :-)

Super sweet Save-The-Dates

As per usual I was scouting around on Etsy when I came across this adorable save-the-dates from Etsy seller Rooted In Paper.

I think I have fallen in love with Christina's work - not just with the amazing stationary in her etsy shop but also what I have seen on her blog, go check it out!

I've had a real thing for silhouettes lately, particularly after seeing a silhouette themed wedding on 'greenweddingshoes' and the wedding of 'Hello Lucky' director Eunice where they had silhouettes on all of their paper goods AND a personalised laser-cut cake topper to match.
