We heart wedding videos

Some say cheesy, some say unnecessary ... but we adore our wedding videos, which were shot and edited by the gorgeous and creative Victoria Landey. They capture so many amazing moments, the spirit of the day and, if you're anything like us, you'll watch them with delight forever!

So we had to share this wedding video (via Cup of Jo) - it must be one of the best we have ever seen - from the wedding of Max (we recently featured his honeymoon photos) and Margaux. Watch it you will LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

P.S. We also love the groom's shoes and socks, the bride's dress and hair, the cool guests at the backyard reception party, the cake topper, the wishing ribbon line and, of course, the dancing!

Real wedding 21: Winter glam

There is something about Autumn leaves, a handmade birdcage and a gorgeous shrug that add ounces of glamour to a wedding. This bride (of pretty.pretty.paper) had very large ambitions for DIY wedding projects but in the end focused on the cake (the bride and groom made it together!) and the beautiful letter pressed menus (see the making here and the end result here). The result, as you can see was a simple, elegant affair.

Have a romantic weekend brides-to-be!

New York invites

Be inspired by this stationery suite by The Indigo Bunting. They incorporate all sorts of personal aspects of the couple resulting in a beautiful and unique invitation.

 Their invitation reflects a classic New York City wedding at the Central Park Boathouse. Let your wedding venue inspire your stationery.

 Quotes about love frame the envelope on the back of the invitation. Be inspired by movies, books or music that mean a lot to you as a couple and incorporate them into your stationery, such as a line from your favourite song.

 "A guide from us to you/y'all." (She's from New York. His family's from Texas.) It's a nice touch to include personal details in your stationery.

 The invitation included a custom map of Manhattan for the couple, annotated with their favorite places in the city. It is such a lovely idea to include information about the place where your wedding is taking place - extra special for out-of-town guests.

See more details of this stationery here.

Happy weekend!
