from bunting to quilt

hmmmm, i wonder if i'll be as industrious as caitlin of salty oat when my wedding date approaches?

[taken off craftzine] before her wedding last year, she gathered fabric scraps from some of her wedding guests. she took the scraps and created a simple bunting that was used as decoration at the ceremony and reception. since the wedding, she's taken the bunting pieces and turned them in to a beautiful quilt, filled with memories from the special day and of the people represented by each triangle of fabric.

awwww how sweet and such a great idea for reusing those fabric scraps! i just love the eclectic mix of colors too.

weddingclip.net

thanks to jun of beanipet for sending the link to the video above via twitter, i am now totally addicted to watching weddingclip's uploaded videos on vimeo. i just love their style & boy, are they uber talented. i'm so tempted to drop them an email & see if they won't mind hopping on a plane to come to kl from jakarta.

btw the video of glenn & vivi's wedding features temper trap's sweet disposition which is my fave song of the moment as blogged about here. coincidence or kismet?





p/s: i love all the save-the-date videos too, especially the one above of simon & debby as it really looks like they're are having so much fun. i think it'll make a great replacement for the standard video montage shown at weddings too... oh, the possibilities!

embroidered invitation

i can not express how much i LOVE this invitation set custom made by anna from rifle. from her blog:  "This is Kate & Avi's set. The couple lives in & got married in Brooklyn last September. For their invitation we decided to play up their love for handmade with a hand sewn invitation design. I used embroidery thread and sewed it directly into paper to create the design and then added hand painted lettering before scanning the art for printing."

i could SO do this. 

love balloons

because bobby proposed to me at the hot air balloon fiesta, I think it's only appropriate if we have balloons somehow incorporated into our wedding, like this engagement photoshoot of tori and austin. i love how whimsical it all looks. the lighting. the bright colors. how the little "austin love tori" even looks like a little balloon. perfection.
