{lovely stripes}

I love, love the stripes and gorgeous lace details on this beautiful dress:

Such an unexpected, but completely elegant combination. Check out a few more from this lovely wedding was, photographed by Australia's Bliss Photography, over at Polka Dot Bride.

{fabric + buttons}

Darci from With This Ring just completed a fabulous DIY series featuring the most adorable purple floral fabric and buttons. I'm particularly smitten with this project for DIY fabric-enclosed invitations, and this project for DIY favor boxes:

So pretty! I love, love those invitations. Definitely check out the full tutorials – including a few other DIY projects – over at With This Ring .

New Giveaway!

I just got back late last night from my trip to NYC. I'm thoroughly exhausted, but had the most lovely weekend getting to know some of the most lovely ladies… but more on that later. I know I'm being a bit cryptic, but I'm waiting for a few more photos before I share everything here. But I can't wait to tell you all about it!

So, in the meantime, I thought we'd start the week off with another giveaway! This one comes to us courtesy of City of Dionne, a lovely etsy shop full of adorable wedding favor boxes and cards:

Okay, so hopefully by now you all know the rules: Head on over to the City of Dionne shop and browse through Dionne's collection. Pick out your favorite design of either the note cards or favor boxes, then pop back on over here and leave a
comment with telling us which one you picked. The winner will win a set of their choice!

You'll have until midnight (EST) on Thursday, April 30th to enter the giveaway, and I'll announce the winner here on Friday. In the meantime, feel free to also check out Dionne's blog right here. Thnks to Dionne for sponsoring this giveaway – and bonne chance everyone!
