Now That's Cool: VIII

Ahhh -- yes that is all I can say at this point. I have been so MIA on the blog lately, it is just ridiculous - but there is a reason why I just have not had time to sit and write lately! For one, we are buying a house! Yay :) Although I am so excited, as you can imagine, the whole "buying-a-house-pack-up-your-life" ordeal is kind of taking over my days! On top of that, I have several weddings in the works (which I am so excited to be a part of!)..one if this weekend! In a nutshell, I am just running around at a million miles an hour and unfortunately my blog updates have taken the brunt of it. Although the posts may be more sparse than usual during the month of October, they should be popping up more regularly in November - so be on the look out!


In the mean time, I will try to get some of my favorite pictures and finds from across the weddingsphere weekly! Here are my "Now That's Cool" moments of this week..enjoy!

Now That's Cool: VII

I am not going to lie -- this week was the opposite of how stuff usually goes when preparing for "Now That's Cool" posts. Typically, I am saving a bazillion photos cause amazing stuff keeps popping up around the weddingsphere...but this week, it took me forever to find some amazing and inspirational stuff?! Maybe all the other wedding gurus around the web are having a crazy busy week like me, and just cannot find the time to get the blog posts up (it really has been a plain out crazy week for me, and unfortunately the blog has suffered a little, my apologies). Nevertheless, after some thorough exploring, I finally found all sorts of cool stuff! Here are some things to check out below:

  • One of the first pictures is of a way-cool hair style that literally has a ribbon twisted within it - a modern braid for sure!
  • I am LOVING the collection of vintage stamps used on the wedding invitation envelope, so eloquent and unique. 
  • I have absolutely NO IDEA what the harvest wedding cake is made of...but lord does it look scrumptious!!! Bring on Fall, I say!
  • Try zooming in on the tag with a quote on it attached to the yellow throw petals. Such a cute poem if you can get a closer look!
  • The pink "Party People" card is part of a fun couple's program, and all the wedding party is named throughout the cake graphic - so festive and modern.
  • If you are wondering what those large and lit white things are... they are floating lanterns! This way-cool couple had a their guests participate in a send off that lit the sky - these lanterns float in the sky once lie, similar to a hot air balloon effect!
  • At the end, you will see a cake with lots of intricate work on it -- the soft architecture created by buttercream and fondant make this dessert look to die for. And next door sits two super cute and custom made figurines as cake toppers - so creative!

Now That's Cool: VI

The Registry Workshop will wrap up at the beginning of next week...so if you have no idea what I am referring to, head back a couple of days and check out all you have missed thus far!

Finding pictures for this week's "Now That's Cool" was just way too easy this week! There were more "cool' pics out there than I knew what to do with (so once again, I am filing up that hardrive with pictures for another post!). First off, I noticed lots of amazing alters from some super creative brides! I did a past post on Alternative Atlars, and I only wish that I could have added some of the pictures below to that previous post. My favorite altar is the one that uses hanging candles from the ceiling and rustic, empty picture frames as the backdrop...like seriously, who thinks of that concept. Speaking of creativity, take a look at the pencil Save The Date a couple created --- talk about a unique way to remind your guests of the BIG day. Also down below, you will find a picture of a signature drink, and I do not know what the heck it is..but it sure looks super yummy. Be sure to zoom in on the wedding rings too! If you look close enough, you can see the intricate custom engraving (definitely some tedious work!). And of course, I always have to feature at least one adorable kid -- this little ring bearer is too cute! Lastly, in the spirit of the upcoming football season, I featured a photo of a wedding that offered rounds of corn hole to their guests (wish I was invited to that one!). As always, have fun, be inspired, and think creatively! Much Love!

Now That's Cool: V

This week the web was full of fabulous styling! When it comes to having a highly stylized wedding, it is all about the intricate details. Whether it be the simple pink balloon you hold for an artsy photograph or to oh-so-sweet "I Do" tags you tie to the wedding favors -- these are the small things that can make a BIG difference. Check out the adorable flower girl too! Someone sign her up for Vogue or something! I am also loving the "happy tears hankies" for guests -- what a sweet spin! Further down you will find a super cool cupcake tree that is literally that...a TREE!? I also picked up a photo of something I have never seen at a wedding before -- wristlet corsages for the bridesmaids -- what a convenient and comfortable idea for your girls! Last, and certainly not least, my favorite -- the napkin shaped in a bow tie! If you are having a country-club styled wedding, this detail could be the ticket! Enjoy!

Now That's Cool: IV

***I apologize for the delay! Usually "Now That's Cool" goes up on Wednesdays, but Blogger was down for technical reasons yesterday - good news, it is back up and running!***

This week a kept seeing so many "cool" uses of texts and wording...so it shouldn't be any surprise that the picture board below is filled with lots of graphics (I just could not help myself). Finding ways to integrate custom texts into any part of your BIG day, even if just in a small way, is truly an easy way to make your wedding seem that much more personal. Take a close look at the pictures below and you may seem some details that you really like! And if you were not crazing deserts, that cake below might just spring up your sweet tooth - that is some of the luscious icing I have seen lately. Lastly, there is a photo below that seriously captures a rare moment...what are the odds that a deer is pacing by right when your photographers is shooting a photo of the couple?! All I know is this stuff is just plain out too cool!

Now That's Cool: III

Hello all! If you have been a daily reader of the mini-series, Engagement Photos: 101, be sure to check back next week for the last two posts! Next Monday and Tuesday will feature the "WHERE" and "HOW" concerning engagement pictures!

While cruising across the web this week, I seemed to be constantly clicking the "download" button to save a photo that I thought was just too darn COOL! This week's featured photos seem to really highlight the INGENIOUS people out there - I mean seriously, who THINKS of this stuff! For example, how would you like to have multiple crystal chandeliers hanging in your outdoor ceremony!? Or how about your own custom beer labels that look so cute that you have your own brewery. One of my favorite finds below is the couple again an urban mosaic wall -- how wonderful to bring tradition to the streets. There is also a cake featured below that I swear is made from real lace (but don't be fooled, it really is icing!). Make sure you take a close look at the back of the wedding dress below -- amazingly detailed! And last, but not least...the uber sweet quote about love on a chalk board...I think I am going have to put this somewhere in my house. Anyways, have fun checking out the "Now That's Cool: inspiration board, and remember to add some amazing element to your own BIG day!

Now That's Cool! III

Although I post a number of "too cool" pics I have collected over the week from across the "weddingsphere," there are a couple that always stand out as "cooler than cool!" This week, let's just say, that I have way too many favorites! For example, check out the wedding cake that has a color gradient inside!? Like who thinks of that, and who took the artful time to bake it?! Or, how about the wedding rings that I think are stunning -- I certainly love my own ring, but that super thin COPPER band..how unique! As always, I HAVE to feature a fabulous pair of shoes, and these shoes with large ankle bows certainly fit the spot. And last, but certainly not least, I want to highlight the headband that looks straight up out of ancient Greece! Truly unique, truly creative, and truly TOO COOL! Enjoy!

Now That's Cool! II

 
Welcome to the second posting of "Now That's Cool!," where I compiled some of my favorite finds from across the "weddingsphere" this week! If you missed out of some of the fabulous things found last week, be sure to head back to the "Now That's Cool! Post I." 
 
This week it was the super small details that kept catch my eye! Sometimes it is not the big and bold things you have at your wedding that impresses your guests the most; rather, it is the tiny, but SPECIFIC details that make an event seem so personal and unique. Keeping your eye out for those "hidden" subtleties is key to staying inspired to give your own BIG day the wow factor!
 
Check out some fantastic finds below -- I am talking some killer shoes, chic wedding dress, quotable pillows, a vibrant tux, and a great wedding day get-away ride!

Now That's Cool! I

There are millions upon millions of creative ideas out there - I try to put my two cents into the melting pot of ideas, but I am continually finding myself jaw dropped in awe of others. I guess that is my favorite thing about creativity - creativity lends itself to an infinite number of creations, each one totally unique from another. I find myself saving pictures of stunning ideas just so I can "drool" over them later...however, this abundance of eye-candy creative ideas is making my computer sooo slow! To alleviate my overloaded hard drive AND to share the "there are no words to explain" creativity of others out in the big ole' weddingsphere, I am starting a new weekly series. The "Now That's Cool!" series will be a weekly post compiled of photos that are simply too cool for words (the photos speak for themselves!). Whether it is a breath taking view, a stunning use of photography, a unique decor set up, a mouth watering cake, or a ultra couture dress...just sit back and ENJOY! These photos are simply for viewing pleasure, creative sharing, and inspiration spiking!
