Maybe the secret to the perfect wedding is felt flowers and stacks of books? Anyone else agree that this wedding is incredible?

Paper lanterns, parasols, flower poms, cotton candy, chandeliers…this wedding has it all!

I love how this intimate wedding was hosted in the bride’s family backyard.  To hear more about Camilla & Tanner’s wedding click here!

New Adventures in Blogging

While Peaches by Plums is mainly a wedding blog, I am looking to expand my scope to include design, food, and life inspiration.  There are so many beautiful things in the world for us to admire and what a better forum to view them.

I wrote a while back how you can find inspiration anywhere and I think it’s about time to show that!

Lucas Allen, an Australian photographer living in New York, has a style that is right up my alley.

The Letters Make the Difference

I love the idea of using letters as wedding decor and as props!

During my visit to Pennsylvania, I learned that craft stores can be dangerous.  There are way too many cool ideas that I’ve seen that I would love to recreate for my wedding.

I love the idea of using letters to create sayings, personalize a wedding and even be used as props for awesome photos!

Remember Briana’s Dessert Table with “Oh Happy Day” in block letters? I LOVED this!! I think it really makes this table stand out in a simple yet elegant way.

Here is my mom and brother modeling amazingly large letters! If I can fit them in our suitcase, I am definitely buying these!  I think if we painted these in bright colors  it would go brilliantly against the Irish Countryside.

Along the same lines of Briana, I am also going to have phrases in smaller letters around the room.

These letters will be on dowel rods and in varying heights to create dimension.

When planning a wedding, sometimes you need to delegate! Through grade school, my dad has been great at helping me with projects like these.  That’s why I knew this would be right up his alley!

Thanks, Dad!

“Press B4 for your Favor”

I heard about Art-O-Mat from Christina Friedrichsen of Intimate Weddings.  She had the brilliant idea of turning this art vending machine into a favor vending machine!

How cool would that be? Imagine having one of these vintage machines at your wedding (perhaps by your photo booth) for your guests to take home an awesome favor.

As you know, weddings have a lot to do with presentation.  We all want to “wow” our guests and what a better way to do that!
