Telegram Postcard Wedding Invitations

Like many of you, I was completely smitten with this gorgeous 1920s-inspired wedding on Once Wed yesterday (love, love, love that the bride, Ginny, used a vintage library card file as her guest book!).  And as much as I loved each and every detail from this wedding, I just had to focus in on the wedding invitations for a minute:

We’ve all seen lots of postcard RSVP cards, but this couple used a postcard as their entire wedding invitation.  Printed by Greenwich Letterpress in a single color on both sides, the invitations refer the guests to a website containing all the additional information that would normally be included in a full invitation suite, such as accommodation information, additional weekend activities, or directions.

Not only was this telegram-style postcard completely perfect for their 1920s wedding style, but it’s a fabulous way to stay within budget while still having gorgeous letterpress wedding invitations.  I think the etched heart detail on the reverse side is my favorite part…

I absolutely adore Kate Headley – not only is she an amazing photographer, but she's one of the sweetest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting!  Over the weekend Kate posted a few photos from an engagement session taken at her in-laws' farm – these are two of my favorites:

this weekend…

Just about every weekend we visit our local farmer’s market – and as much as I love coming home with truly fresh produce (and flowers!), I almost always come home with the same thing weekend after weekend.  Lately, I’ve been inspired by Katy’s CSA adventures to try out some veggies that aren’t part of our regular menu.

So, this weekend we came home with:

squash-blossoms

Kale

For the squash blossoms, I’m thinking about going with Alyson’s yummy-looking recipe – and I’m thinking I’ll probably sautée the kale… but I’m still on the lookout for a good recipe for purple cauliflower.  Anyone have any suggestions?

I don't want to ruin the surprise, but just wanted to let you all know to check back tomorrow morning for a fabulous giveaway.  It's the biggest one I've done yet, and I can't wait to tell you all about it!

See you all back here tomorrow!
