chirp! chirp!

I know a lot of people are doing a 'birdy' theme, or at least 'birdy' accents for their Spring weddings. Here are a few goodies I found online that fit this theme!

from Williams-Sonoma, and even on sale!

Bridesmaid Gift Ideas

I'm loving artist Kathy bransfield's handmade necklaces.

How adorable are these for bridesmaids or yourself. :) I found this on her website:

inside reads “A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you today just the way you are” –Proverbs 27:17

and this stunning braille "I Love You" necklace was found at Uncommon Goods

artichokes!

yes, you read right. artichokes. I recently became inspired to try and find some non-traditional, non-floral wedding or party table decor. Let me know if you see any other pictures floating around, as I found it quite difficult to come up with some gorgeous artichoke texture shots. Enjoy!

Amazing Peggy Porschen

Today I'm lusting after the gorgeous cakes by Peggy Porschen of London.

I really like this cake by Peggy Porschen (you london gals are so lucky!) because you can customize the ribbon after the wedding to any colour you want! what a great cake stand (and the cake ain't that bad either!) :)

I'm loving this sweet pasta bowl from Uncommon Goods by artist Beth Mueller. What a unique gift!
