If you’ve been looking for the perfect piece of jewelry to finish off your bridal look, or maybe as gifts for your bridesmaids, or even for your wedding band, then you must see the beautiful fine jewelry by Blanca Monros Gomez. I can’t tell you how tough it was to choose just a few to share with you – I love them all!

Not only is each delicate piece made to order, one at a time, and by hand…they’re also eco-friendly! Blanca carefully hand-crafts all of her fine jewelry by re-using as much material as possible, and by using recycled precious metals – all of the wedding bands are made exclusively with recycled gold. This is only a small sample of the jewelry by Blanca Monros Gomez – be sure to check out her website and Etsy shop for more. And if you don’t see just what you want, shoot her an email and she’ll work with you to create the perfect, customized piece.

I am so excited for this weekend! I’ve been in beautiful Montana for about a month without my honey, and he’s finally coming for a little vacation. There are some great real weddings lined up for you next week, but I’ll probably be pretty MIA as far as email goes. We’re thinking of taking a short trip either to Yellowstone or Glacier, and… we’ve got some planning to do. Yep, we’re getting married in Montana next summer! That’s all I’m sharing for now, but in the meantime, here are lots of great links from around the web this week:

Inspired by this Luisa Beccaria spread that I first saw on coco + kelley, and by this lovely palette from Martha Stewart Weddings, I thought a lavender and red inspiration board made for a really wonderful summer wedding. It could certainly work in other seasons, but I like the way it feels in a garden setting, with fresh lavender and cherries. The muted almost-gray purple works as a nice backdrop for pops of real cherry red – feminine without being syrupy.

Mood: summer sweet with a touch of sass
Palette: palest lavender, cherry red

Hi all! Sorry for bailing on you yesterday and this morning – even though I can take my laptop with me when I go visit family, it’s so hard to pull myself away from good books and good meals and good laughing to put up a new post! Anyway, I apologize for disappearing yesterday, and hope that this cheerful inspiration board, with its super-saturated candy color, will make up for it…

Mood: young and cheerful
Palette: tangerine, lemon drop
