makeup & hair

did anyone watch the golden globes this morning? i have to admit that even though i couldn’t be bothered with celebrity gossip, i do have a love of seeing celebrities all dressed up in gorgeous gowns & dresses. this time around however, i was paying attention to the makeup & hair as well to draw inspiration for my wedding keeping in note that i am fair with dark hair & dark eyes, & that the theme is 1950’s

handmade wedding

love the video promoting Chronicle Books’ Handmade Weddings of which i just a copy from Kinokuniya. it’s an adorable book that i think is a must-buy for the crafty bride but hey, if you’re not getting married anytime soon, just get the book anyways for the lovely craft tutorials.

accordion flowers

potential stage backdrop perhaps? still mulling over this one.

rememberance table

this idea for a rememberance table would be perfect for my wedding reception & it’ll eliminate the need to do the typical wedding montage with our baby pictures & solemnization.

fabric flowers

i am so making these fabric flower brooches for my family to wear at the reception. well, that’s if they’ll wear it ofcourse! you can never tell with family sometimes as they might not like it at all but i think they’ll be a cute alternative to flowers + these will last a whole lot longer. yay to diy! instructions here.

macaron favors

i can’t get enough of macarons & i think a little box with a macaron at each place setting would be lovely + green wedding shoes made it even easier with a free printable label. don’t you just love the internet?

diy banner

i just adore this banner. would love to have this at the entrance & the stage backdrop at our reception.
