Happy Birthday to Jake!

My husband Jake and I have celebrated about 14 of his birthdays together and I think this one might just top them all.... it's a good one. Really good, but I still can't say anything.

Till later.....

Check out some great posts that are up today at some of my favorites:

A delicious Southern CA wedding can be found here.

Scratch n' Sniff Desktop Wallpaper over here.

A customized wedding print here.

A Parisian Inspiration Board loved over here.

For this Wednesday(how'd it get here so fast?) here is a "rustic chic" tablescape from Carter & Cook Event Co.:

I love the cotton candy at each place setting, the fabric applique on the place cards and the long benches instead of chairs. Lovely touches like that really make an intriguing tablescape. This one was for Exquisite Weddings Magazine and you can check them out here.

I have a very exciting next few days and I can't wait to share them with you! I've made space in my camera and I'm ready to take lots of photos of all the fun. More information tomorrow!

As promised here are the plates that I found last week for only a $1 at Marshalls:

The colors are much brighter in person but I am so happy with the pattern. They will be perfect for the tea party in May. I want to find them now in silver instead of gold.... the hunt begins.

This inspiration board that I put together is one of my favorites. It's not too strong if a pink and the black gives it a bit of a masculine feel for your man. A subtle vintage feel is lovely. And you can't beat silhouettes  for that custom piece that you'll keep forever. Throw a little cameo in there and perfect.

Happy Etsy Wedding Find Monday!

First up:

This beautiful hairpiece is from the etsy shop of Londonxox. It is made from selected feathers and Swarovski Rhinestone Crystals. Gorgeous!

This simple detail but big statement piece is made by Our Hobby To Your Home. I am really liking the yellow!

This next find is a bit non-traditional but I think it is a great idea, especially for the couple that don't have an adress book put together yet.

This Wedding Guest Book from Cut The Cake Designs is offered in many different colors and designs. All your guest needs to do is take one of the cards and fill out their information along with a well wishing note to you and file it under their last name. It's the new rolodex... I think I want one for myself.

The impact this next item makes is huge. The pom pom look is back and gives your wedding that pop of fun and color you may be looking for.

These favor box toppers are made by 789 Design and they offer listings in many other colors.

Today is the start of a very exciting and busy several weeks around here. We have lots of meetings and entertaining to do and I have loved ones visiting us from 3000 miles away. I haven't seen them for almost a year and I can't be happier about it.

I've decided to get the ipad for my birthday next month. It came out on Saturday and when I went to check it out, I put in my web address and there was just something about seeing myself in it that sealed the deal. 

Have a great start to the week everyone! And I hope that all of you out there from Southern CA are doing okay after that earthquake we had yesterday!

One of my favorite Wedding Designers in San Diego is Amorology. They are amazing and I find myself gravitating to their designs in magazines even when I don't know it's them. So it is no surprise that two of their weddings are up for The Knot's Wedding of the Year! I love both of the weddings but my favorite is the one above named "love bird, shabby chic wedding". Vote for it here.

You can check out the other wedding and vote for it here.

I'm looking forward to the beautiful weekend ahead, with the ipad coming out tomorrow and Easter on Sunday! I want the ipad...

I'll leave you this week with a lovely image of how I'd love to spend Easter:

Image via this is glamorous

I'm going to try and get a list of my favorite blogs up on the blog for you this weekend. Fingers crossed that it could be done today. I just have so many I love!
