I have to share with you these pillowy little pleasures I’ve always admired from our friends over at Martha Stewart Weddings. I bet you could pump one of these stinkers out while sipping your latte or even commuting to work! I’m totally coveting the top three, but I can’t stop staring at each and every single one of them. They’re just so adorable!

If you’re feeling a tingle of creativity, go get the directions for these babies over at Martha’s DIY Weddings Inspiration, or just take a stroll at Martha Stewart Weddings.

Inspiration Board: Pink, Green & White Delight

knotty bride — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:47:56 +0000

My inspiration for this board actually came from an early time in my wedding planning, when I was pondering a pretty palette of soft pinks, minty greens and ivory whites. Though I’ve since moved on from this color scheme, I still love it dearly! Who knows, maybe it demands my return…

Thinking these colors might be just right for your wedding? If yes, be careful; I would suggest prominently featuring only one of the scheme’s stronger colors – either the pink or the green – in your implementation. Equal parts pink, green and white can result in a wedding that fails in the sophistication category; too often looking more like children’s party, or a Sweet Sixteen.

A Great Day for A Blue Wedding

My inspiration for this board came from the striking blue sky that glows behind party-goers while they admire a newly married couple in their first dance together as husband and wife.

If you wanted to employ a color scheme like this one for your wedding, I would suggest detailing the wedding in soft baby blues and warm purples (here, the baby blue is in the programs on the lower left, which have been placed inside of a simple woven basket; the purple paints one of a pair of cute little birdies).

Cake Toppers: Tacky or Tasteful?

knotty bride — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:17:22 +0000

There are a lot of opinions out there regarding the issue of to top or not to top, but one thing’s for sure: when we saw this vintage cake topper spread from project wedding, we fell in love all over again with the idea…

Those pretty pastels, alone, draw me in and don’t let go… maybe that’s what’s got me on the side of toppers, today? Hmm, I think that means the jury’s still out, friends.

Inspiration Board: Chocolate Bars Make It Better

knotty bride — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 17:45:15 +0000

I admit, my favorite thing about this gathering is the inclusion of chocolate chunks. Want to rope us in? Show us a creative way to infuse something chocolate into your wedding, and we’ll bite.
