unruly things

wouldn’t this Morgan Carper dress from Frances May be a beautiful summer wedding dress? it’s so simple yet the sash can be worn in a variety of ways, giving it that extra “umpf”.

cheerful bow ties from Fox & Brie.  how cute is their little etsy avatar?

aren’t these ties fantastic from General Knot & Co?  I like how they combine two different fabrics for a cool layered effect.

I’m currently obsessing over this hex ring from Aesa.  wouldn’t it make the prettiest engagement ring?

{photos from Una.  speaking of, have you seen their new space?  I’m dying to make a visit especially since I heard they carry Bobo Choses!}

a few months back, Jamie & Michelle decided to throw a contest on 100 Layer Cake – just because they wanted to photograph a wedding.  now their contest, originally titled Rad + In Love, has turned into a true photo duo.  their site just went live today and I was speechless browsing through the photos.  so nostalgic and so well done.  those gals sure have an eye.  I especially love the black and white photos.

sigh, this makes me want to get married all over again just so I can hire these gals.  maybe I just need an excuse to throw a party!

see more on Rad + In Love.

how pretty is this dandelion installation by German artist Regine Ramseier?  wouldn’t it make an amazing statement at a wedding?  sigh…

I often see wedding dresses and it makes me want to get married all over again so I can wear them.  but all the planning?  I’ll just take the party next time thankyouverymuch!

this dress is so pretty and practical.  I mean come on, recycled lace & cotton, plus pockets!!!

I love love love this wedding shot by my friend Kimi Kolba.  looks familiar, right?  it took place at the same location where dlb and I got married.  plus, Ann took some rad polaroids too.  sigh… Kimi has such a way with light doesn’t she?  remember this photo she took of me?

and how amazing is that giant Tillandsia xerographica for the bride’s bouquet?  Kimi told me it was designed by Solabee Flowers here in PDX.
