The other day I was trolling the web for who can remember what and I came across this very fun solution for wedding seating:

After some tracking it back through various blogs who’ve posted it I found it on Parcel Post who credited to Unscene (which seems like a West Coast event planner but their full site isn’t up so I can only guess).

There are so many bridal blogs out there (which can get kind of incestuous– one idea posted several times) so I set out to find some MORE new blogs with MORE cool things I hadn’t seen before. Now, some of these (like Parcel Post) I’m sure get more readership than I and several I’ve found seem to have Bridal Blog awards that I’ve never heard of so SOMEONE (lots of someones) are reading them– I’ve just never heard of them so maybe you haven’t either.

After some clicking about I came across this friggin’ awesome DIY post from Bridal Buzz about making new mason jars look vingage.
.

This would go so well with the look of Meredith and Patrick’s wedding (and therefore the Melanie + Jake [Sweet Home Alabama], Bonnie + Clyde [famous law breakers] and Lady and the Tramp ( invites)

Next we have what I think of as “fondant + simplicity = get in my belly now!” from Eat Cake Be Merry.

I think this would work perfectly with a Sloane + Ferris invitation (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off). Very fun and modern yet not overly so.

The one on the left is a good understated option for Allie + Noah (The Notebook) and with that big ole bow and bling I’m all for the right cake for Holly + Paul (Breakfast at Tiffany’s).

And lastly a teepee wedding (?!!?- I know) from the crazy amazing Rosie Parsons in the UK. If I haven’t said it before great photographers get the best clients who have the most creative weddings that you can get A MILLION IDEAS FROM so go check her out!

So there you have it- hopefully some things you haven’t seen before. If you’re still looking for more here are some things to get you started:

Going clockwise starting in the top left the images are: St Michel by Josh Derr found on flickr; “Transfixed” by shutterBRI found on flickr); Flowers from Martha Stewart (can’t quite find the link but if you REALLY want me to search for it more just let me know in the comments section); Cake by Lovin’ Sullivan Cakes; Dress by Angel Sanchez; Flowers from Martha Stewart; Riviera Dress from Siri (they have wonderful dresses- I wish I had just gone for these for my bridesmaids); Veil from Bride’s Head Revisited; Necklace featured in a picture on oneatlanticevents.com website; Ferris and Sloane invites from The Future Mrs. Darcy.

This is my Sloane + Ferris inspiration board. When I was doing the invitations I had them getting married at the Art Institute of Chicago which was featured in the movie so I stuck with that. I think it’s cool without trying too much.

Also I have about 10 other photos that didn’t make the final cut into the inspiration board so if you’re loving the yellow just let me know and I’ll get the extras together.

Have a great friday!
