It’s such a treat to see something that’s been inspired by one of my inspiration boards! The ladies at Azulsahara, were inspired by Board #476: China Cabinet to create Viena, a modern spin on that classic, preppy look. Well-known by European brides, Azulsahara wedding stationery has recently become available in the United States, so if you love it, you can have it!

I just love this look and color combination, and was inspired to round up some gorgeous blue and white china patterns – in case you’re looking for some registry inspiration…

Austin Floral Indigo  //  Botanic Blue  //  Oriente Italiano
Cornflower Lace  //  Blue Italian  //  Blue Aves
Dolphin’s Blue  //  Asiatic Pheasants  //  Prince Bleu
Charlotte Moss South Hampton  //  Anna Weatherley Blue  //  Imperial Blue
Blue Fluted Mega  //  Blue Onion  //  Pearl Blue
Landscape Shibori  //  Jasper Conran Blue Butterfly  //  Blue Fluted Half Lace

The key to DIY wedding invitations that don’t look DIY? A fabulous font!

Whether you want something retro, timeless, playful or elegant, beautifully designed fonts offer affordable graphic design for your wedding projects. There are thousands upon thousands to choose from – these 50 are just a place to start, and I’d love it if you’d share your favorite font finds and font projects in the comments!

To be completely honest with you, I rarely pay much attention to the latest runway designs. That said, there are a few designers who take my breath away with every collection, and Elie Saabis one of them. When Roséline posted some of the gowns from the Spring 2012 Haute Couture collection, I instantly imagined how they might translate into bridal wear, and couldn’t keep from sharing them with you…

Don’t you just love those shapes and sherbet colors? Wearing one of these gowns would be like wearing spring itself!
