Last summer my sister got married and I’m only now getting around to sharing a little of the paper goods + details in action. I got to do both the stationery and help her with styling. She did most of the brainstorming herself, but it was fun getting to work on several DIY projects throughout and constantly sending her ideas from Pinterest. I also put together an inspiration board for her before we got down to the nitty gritty.
You might remember her bird themed wedding stationery that I shared a while back, but I didn’t show you everything. Here’s a little look into the blessing tags that guests got to write on and pin (I hand painted mini clothespins mint) onto twine string looping between trees. A welcome message inserted into a mint frame was placed on the guest table and a “love is sweet” scroll decked out the cake table. The chalkboard table numbers weren’t captured, but I did a DIY post on them earlier. Other than that, you’ll find everything below and the program over on the stationery blog post.






My sister decked out us bridesmaids in custom-sewn mint dresses and the groomsmen in charcoal suits with their sleeves rolled up. I think the color palette of mint, peach, and ivory was swoon-worthy — and the bouquets were to die for.

Inspired by yesterday’s inspiration palette, add some pixie dust to your next gift in the form of glitter! For this, I just wrapped pieces of glitter ribbon around a kraft box in diagonal rows (glitter tape also works well for this) and tied them down in the back. Then I wrapped glitter yarn in diagonal rows, but in the opposite direction, to give it some extra texture.

A little bit of pixie dust makes things magical…

There are some really fun way to plant things either in your home or for an event. With all this house hunting and home decor dreaming I’ve been doing, I’ve come across so many cute ways to bring a little green into your home. Coffee and tea tins, tea cups and pots, and even down the middle of your coffee table (really want to try that one!). What fun ways have you incorporated greens into your home?

So, what did you all think of the styled shoot that I just shared? I posted some behind-the-scenes photos last year right after the shoot wrapped up, but since it’s been so long, I decided to do another round with some news ones added (the black/white ones are courtesy of Angela Shae).




With our models beautified, the tables set up, and our bags and boxes stashed away where they wouldn’t get caught on camera, the photographer battled with harsh lighting, rain, and cold to capture what we wanted captured. I think she was the most soaked out of all us by the time it was over.

The mint is so cool, fresh and refined! Love it in your dresses, the decorations and your sweet stationery…and even on your sister’s nails. :-)
