I completely admire this couple&amp;#8217;s style. Everything from the cool outfits to the treatment on the images really turn up the volume on the vintage vibe. These two clearly know how to have some fun and the fabulous work from &lt;a href="http://www.sandersonimages.com/blog/" target="_blank"&gt;John and Kimberly Sanderson&lt;/a&gt; is the perfect compliment to their creative personalities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/gallery/ibb/elaine/ibb-1257534965.jpg" alt="Sanderson 1a" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;From &lt;a href="http://www.sandersonimages.com/blog/" target="_blank"&gt;Sanderson Images&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8230; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jenny and Evan are true artists through and through.  Evan is a woodworker who makes fabulous, original items. (in fact he made the mustaches, for which they have a funny obsession with!)  Jenny is a painter with an amazing sense of style.  We knew right away that they were going to have a fun and unique shoot that would exemplify all of their wonderful, creative attributes.  They told us they had a blast picking out the perfect outfits and we sure had fun photographing them!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/gallery/ibb/elaine/ibb-1257535358.jpg" alt="Sanderson 1b" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think a few props are a great accessory in a photo shoot. Sometimes a balloon, a cute hat, or a great outfit is just the thing you need to help you loosen up in front of the camera. Oh, and really cool shoes, don&amp;#8217;t hurt either. If you can&amp;#8217;t get enough of this couple&amp;#8217;s light-hearted, whimsical style head over John and Kimberly&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href="http://www.sandersonimages.com/blog/" target="_blank"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; to see more of these amazing photographs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are also featuring several great e-shoots on the &lt;a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/11/06/engagement-shoots-from-julie-afflerbaugh-photography/" target="_blank"&gt;Little Black Book Blog&lt;/a&gt; today if you&amp;#8217;re in the mood for even more great engagement session inspiration.&lt;/p&gt;

		<content type="html" xml:base="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/11/06/modern-vineyard-wedding-in-ontario-ii/">&lt;p&gt;Sent to us by &lt;a href="http://www.knorthphotography.ca/" target="_blank"&gt;Karri North Photography&lt;/a&gt;, this wedding is just as sweet as the bride&amp;#8217;s beautiful smile. Love the crisp modern feel and the bright pops of yellow that just jump up and say &amp;#8220;it&amp;#8217;s happy day&amp;#8221;. The bride, Rena, works in advertising so she knew exactly how to pull together a completely inviting event full of chic little details and stylish charm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src='http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/gallery/ibb/elaine/ibb-1257522203.jpg' alt='Karri North 1b' class='' /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;From the gorgeous bride, Rena&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The theme was Eat, Drink, Be Married and that phrase was highlighted on the different pieces of stationary accordingly &amp;#8211; Eat on the menus, Drink on the cocktail menu featured inside a shadow box, and Be Married on the programs. The mood was echoed in long harvest tables set with rows of candles &amp;#038; flowers &amp;#038; vases of lemons, sangria as a signature cocktail (we were at a winery after all!), and sangria mix as a favor so guests could take home a little of the celebration. The favor boxes were yellow cake-boxes turned on their heads with a custom sticker on each reading &amp;#8216;Cheers&amp;#8217;. And each table was named after a wine note &amp;#8211; crisp, bold, smooth.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The programs were hand-painted with yellow watercolor and the invitation suite in a punchy yellow (again, not something you&amp;#8217;d miss in your mailbox) was from &lt;a href="https://www.sweetpenelope.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Sweet Penelope&lt;/a&gt;. I made black-and-white damask runners to add drama to the tables and used the same fabric as a backdrop for the photobooth. I included a picture of each guest from the photobooth with the signature fabric in their thank you card. The cupcake bar featured red velvet, coconut with fresh fruit coulee, vanilla, and chocolate banana cupcakes set upon trays of varying sizes and all heights and patterns.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src='http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/gallery/ibb/elaine/ibb-1257527750.jpg' alt='Karri North 1d' class='' /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

		<content type="html" xml:base="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/11/06/engagement-shoots-from-julie-afflerbaugh-photography/">&lt;p&gt;If you read a little bit about &lt;a title="Julie Afflerbaugh Photography" href="http://www.julieafflerbaugh.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Julie Afflerbaugh&lt;/a&gt;, you&amp;#8217;ll know that she describes her style as artistic and spontaneous. She goes on to say, &amp;#8220;&lt;em&gt;The energy in my photographs comes from the relationship I build with my clients. Because we have fun and grow comfortable with each other, the photographs are more natural and real.&amp;#8221;&lt;/em&gt; And as we&amp;#8217;ve preached before, here at SMP, what better way to begin that relationship than with your engagement shoot?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Angel and Patrick are just beginning that journey! They &amp;#8216;found&amp;#8217; &lt;a title="Julie Afflerbaugh Photography" href="http://www.julieafflerbaugh.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Julie &lt;/a&gt;through Style Me Pretty&amp;#8217;s Little Black Book. Yay! And Angel has shared a little bit about their own wedding plans with us &amp;#8230; &lt;em&gt;&amp;#8220;Our wedding is about our guests. We want them to enjoy themselves as much as possible and so that plays a big part in the decisions we make to create our day. Trying to find the right balance between what&amp;#8217;s best for our family and friends, and doing so in a way that expresses who we are at the same time has been a lot of fun. For example, I&amp;#8217;m a HUGE foodie (and now Patrick is too, lol) so it was really vital that our guests enjoy engaging, memorable food. I&amp;#8217;ve been to plenty of weddings where most of the adults ended up making their way through the kids buffet. So with that in mind we created an extremely light-hearted menu with a stylish flair including Miniature Grilled Brie Sandwiches on Brioche Served with Smoked Tomato Coulis, Petite Cheddar Cheese Sliders and Condiment Station, Homemade Penne &amp;amp; Three Cheeses Served Individually in Ramekins and Topped with Crunchy Herb Panko, Build Your Own Sundae Dessert Bar with Vanilla Gelato and Toppings to Include Bing Cherry Port Reduction, Dark Chocolate Ganache, Orange Caramel.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/gallery/ibb/eddye/ibb-1257477123.jpg" alt="angel &amp;amp; patrick" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt; And when it came to bridesmaid attire, the same concept applied in making it about them first. People have more fun and look best in photographs when they&amp;#8217;re comfortable so I simply picked a designer I liked and a palette of 7 or 8 shades of green ranging from spring green to moss and more in between. My bridesmaids are then able to pick whichever color they would like and whatever dress style they feel most comfortable in. The only other stipulation is that the dresses all have pockets because I have a deeply rooted love affair with pockets and since I couldn&amp;#8217;t add them to my wedding dress (yup, that&amp;#8217;s right, I tried lol) at least they can all enjoy the splendor of a pocketed dress. It&amp;#8217;s details like those that are woven throughout the day that people will notice and say, yup, that&amp;#8217;s so Angel.&amp;#8221;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I love the contemporary black and white damask with the bright yellows&amp;#8230; it gives the event an all together approachable and super chic feel. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;From the beautiful bride, Rena&amp;#8230; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Black and white is my favorite combination &amp;#8211; so crisp and chic. But I wanted an unexpected twist that would signal we were also here for a party! The bridesmaids wore fun yellow flats and held long-stemmed lilies with multi-toned yellow ribbon floating around them. My bouquet was a simple white arrangement but with a fabulous thick black-and-white ribbon tied at the base.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love the charming elegant style of this wedding&amp;#8230;but I&amp;#8217;m truly head over heals for the bride&amp;#8217;s completely fabulous Carolina Herrera gown&amp;#8230; it&amp;#8217;s modern but still very flirty and totally feminine. More details from the reception coming up in just a bit&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;

		<content type="html" xml:base="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/11/06/fall-wedding-in-historic-downtown-la/">&lt;p&gt;We have several very different celebrations to share with you today, each couple with their own distinct style and each event full of steal-worthy ideas. First up, we have a beautiful October affair held at Union Station in Los Angeles. Now, I have to admit&amp;#8230; I was a little partial to this one. My hubby and I celebrated our marriage a couple years ago at a historic train station in my hometown&amp;#8230; So when I saw this wedding sent to us by LBB member, Britney Gardner and Joe Rumore of &lt;a href="http://turnloosetheblog.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Turn Loose the Art&lt;/a&gt;, it made me all sorts of nostalgic. Plus, it doesn&amp;#8217;t hurt that it&amp;#8217;s completely gorgeous.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="union_station" src="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/union_station.jpg" alt="union_station" width="600" height="1251" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regardless of the special spot I have for this wedding, it&amp;#8217;s packed full of fun little details that are sure to provide tons of inspiration to all of you design gurus out there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;From the photographer, Britney&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Erin and Kevin arranged for a less than traditional timeline and had a pre-ceremony cocktail hour where they greeted their guests as they arrived. It was so nice to move straight from the ceremony right into dinner at two long tables, one on either side of the &lt;a href="http://www.traxxrestaurant.com/welcome1.html" target="_blank"&gt;Traxx&lt;/a&gt; courtyard.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-24872" title="union_station2" src="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/union_station2.jpg" alt="union_station2" width="600" height="1494" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love this bold color palette, the retro-inspired monogram, and the completely perfect vintage train motif. They really play up the art-deco vibe of the location and the refined playfulness of the couple. Thank you to Britney and Joe from &lt;a href="http://turnloosetheblog.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Turn Loose the Art&lt;/a&gt; for sending this wedding our way. Congratulations Erin and Kevin!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Coming up in a bit, a contemporary vineyard wedding&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;

It&amp;#8217;s been a fun day on SMP and to be honest, the content today is the reason that I love what I do. So much creativity, so much of the pretty, so much wedding goodness. Well, this next feature that &lt;a href="http://www.leopatronephotography.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Leo Patrone&lt;/a&gt; sent us, is just the icing on the already really great cake.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As I mentioned, the fabulous (and I when I say fabulous, I am hardly doing him justice) &lt;a href="http://www.leopatronephotography.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Leo Patrone&lt;/a&gt; sent us today&amp;#8217;s real wedding and it is complete and total loveliness. From the perfect bride, to the undeniably gorgeous flowers and sweet little details, every bit of it is swoon-worthy. With a soft, feminine color palette and a really simple approach to design, this couple managed to pull off an affair that is as timeless as it is chic. I love that. It&amp;#8217;s a style that will forever remain gorgeous, that will forever be used as inspiration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Leo-2.jpg" alt="leo patrone real wedding" width="600" height="1214" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The wedding was held at Tilden Park in Berkeley&amp;#8217;s Brazil Room. It was planned by Jessica Goldblatt from &lt;a href="http://www.dreamsonadime.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Dreams on a Dime Events and Weddings&lt;/a&gt; and was a perfect combination of timeless elegance, and a fun, modern sense of whimsy.  You can actually feel the joy in each and every photo with a bride and groom that are clearly madly in love and a celebration that is all charm.&lt;/p&gt;

		<content type="html" xml:base="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/11/05/wedding-invitations-by-mr-boddingtons-studio/">&lt;p&gt;If the DIY projects that we put together for you weren&amp;#8217;t enough to inspire, this next feature will most definitely get the wedding excitement brewing. We are so very delighted to introduce the new collection of wedding stationery from the fabulous &lt;a href="http://www.mrboddington.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Mr. Boddington&amp;#8217;s Studio&lt;/a&gt; in NYC. Everything about this quirky little design studio is charming&amp;#8230; their invitations, their website, even their name is catchy. But of course it&amp;#8217;s their gorgeous paper creations that really have me smiling. They&amp;#8217;re a little cheeky, a little vintage, and a lot beautiful. These are so good you might want to consider designing your wedding around your &lt;em&gt;invitation&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/gallery/ibb/elaine/ibb-1257391870.jpg" alt="Mr. Boddingtons 1a" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mrboddington.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Mr. Boddington&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; also has a fabulous new line up of engagement/rehearsal dinner, bridal showers, and thank you notes&amp;#8230; all just as sweet and chic as the wedding invitations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;A little bit about the collection from owner, Rebecca Schmidt Ruebensaal&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Through the past year, Mr. Boddington traveled around the globe collecting all sorts of musings to inspire his new collection: vintage wedding invitations from Bombay, typography from Shanghai, preppy fabrics from sailing camps in New England, pine needles from Eastern European forests&amp;#8230; and the list goes on! He also bent an ear towards what the most fashionable brides chatted about in connection with their wedding correspondence&amp;#8230; it appeared that they were chasing not only smart paper designs but those that may save them some pennies.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/gallery/ibb/elaine/ibb-1257400081.jpg" alt="Mr. Boddingtons 1d" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wedding, engagement, rehearsal dinner, bridal shower invitations, save-the-dates and thank you notes are offered in both letterpress and flat matte printing. All letterpress is printed on one hundred percent cotton paper (tree-free), and the flat-matte using rich, slightly saturated color palettes. Envelope liners are hand-cut and tailored to each piece of correspondence.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/gallery/ibb/elaine/ibb-1257392989.jpg" alt="Mr. Boddingtons 1c" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s not easy to do playful &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; elegant&amp;#8230; and it&amp;#8217;s even harder to do it really well, but &lt;a href="http://www.mrboddington.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Mr. Boddington&amp;#8217;s Studio&lt;/a&gt; has it down to an art. All of their work is sophisticated and fun&amp;#8230; the silhouettes, the envelope liners, the fabulous fonts, I love every square inch of these charming little pieces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, get your bookmarks ready, Mr. Boggington&amp;#8217;s (seriously adorable) &lt;a href="http://www.mrboddington.com/" target="_blank"&gt;new website&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.mrboddington.com/blog/" target="_blank"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; are full of even more invitation eye-candy. Enjoy!&lt;/p&gt;

		<content type="html" xml:base="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/11/05/table-number-diy-project/">&lt;p&gt;This is not so much a DIY project as a really simple idea&amp;#8230;using brown bags filled with fruit as either a table number OR as seating cards. Depending on the size of the bag that you buy, you can use these little treats in different ways. Either approach is just a really adorable way to bring a bit of charm to your table. This DIY is for seating cards, but really&amp;#8230;it&amp;#8217;s super easy to translate this project in lots of different ways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Wedding-DIY-4.jpg" alt="diy project" width="600" height="900" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please note, we kept our bags without names on them, as when we created them, we weren&amp;#8217;t sure how we wanted to use them. To complete the seating card DIY, you&amp;#8217;ll need to write in your guests names above the number. If you want to use the scalloped hole punch, we&amp;#8217;ve allowed enough room on the template for you to do that. Otherwise, we used little dotted lines that are super cute and you can simply cut around them for a pretty darned great look.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mini Brown Bags (found at Michaels)&lt;br /&gt;
 Strawberries&lt;br /&gt;
 Tissue Paper&lt;br /&gt;
 8.5 x 11&amp;#8243; Card Stock&lt;br /&gt;
 2.25&amp;#8243; Square Scalloped Hole Punch (found at Michaels)&lt;br /&gt;
 Color Printer&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Using your color printer, print out &lt;a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Strawberry.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;this template&lt;/a&gt;. Note that we have left room above the numbers for you to write in the names.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Using your hole punch, punch out the squares. Or alternatively, using a paper cutter, trim around the dotted lines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. With double stick tape, adhere the labels on to your brown bags, right in the center.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Using a red or black pen, scribble in the name of your guests above the number. Don&amp;#8217;t worry about being too perfect, this project is all about charm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. If you don&amp;#8217;t want to fill completely with fruit, stuff the bottom half of the bags with red tissue paper, then fill to the brim with strawberries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These would look especially cute with cherries!&lt;/p&gt;

This was probably the easiest thing that I have ever done and coming from the world&amp;#8217;s worst baker (I swear, I&amp;#8217;m not exaggerating)&amp;#8230;that really says a lot. I fully admit that I cheated and bought pre-made pie dough. For one round, I made the filling myself but then I discovered that they actually make pre-made pie filling, so you know I jumped right on that bandwagon. Sad, I know. But they turned out so stinking cute, who cares!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Wedding-DIY-3.jpg" alt="diy projects" width="600" height="900" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pie Dough (pre-made or homemade)&lt;br /&gt;
 Pie Filling (we went with Cherry, starting with &lt;a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/the-best-of/cherry-pie-recipe/index.html" target="_blank"&gt;this recipe&lt;/a&gt; then using the pre-made stuff instead)&lt;br /&gt;
 Disposable Mini Pie Tins&lt;br /&gt;
 Red and Pink String (or whatever color you want)&lt;br /&gt;
 Bamboo Spoons from &lt;a href="http://www.greenfeet.com/itemdesc.asp?kw=Disposable-Bamboo-Spoons-250-count&amp;amp;ic=6010-00663-0000&amp;amp;eq=" target="_blank"&gt;Green Feet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 White Bakery Boxes (6&amp;#8243; found at Michaels)&lt;br /&gt;
 Red cocktail napkins (or whatever color you want)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/11/05/homemade-pie-favor-tags/" target="_blank"&gt;Pie Tags&lt;/a&gt; by Grapevine Invitations&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Make your mini pies. Leaving this part totally up to you! For cheaters even bigger than me, I spotted some cute mini pies at the grocery store over the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Using both colors of your string, wrap the pies like a package, tying your spoon onto the top and making a cute little bow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Tuck your unfolded napkin inside your bakery box, then place the pie on top. You can either slide the tag right inside so that it&amp;#8217;s a complete &amp;#8220;look&amp;#8221; when your guests open it OR you can use more string to tie up your bakery box threading your tag on to your string before you tie the knot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Voila!&lt;/p&gt;

		<content type="html" xml:base="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/11/05/homemade-pie-favor-tags/">&lt;p&gt;We are featuring a handful of our favorite DIY projects from our &lt;a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/10/23/from-inspiration-to-reality-the-design/" target="_blank"&gt;From Inspiration to Reality Shoot&lt;/a&gt; that we did with our Connecticut Vendors a few weeks back&amp;#8230;and this one just might be my favorite.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I knew that I wanted to do some homemade pies, inspired by &lt;a href="http://thecookieshopinenglish.wordpress.com/2009/07/31/need-smaller-portions-mini-blueberry-pies/" target="_blank"&gt;these little beauties&lt;/a&gt; that I spotted over on &lt;a href="http://thecookieshopinenglish.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"&gt;The Cookie Shop&lt;/a&gt;, but with a more vintage inspired twist. I just couldn&amp;#8217;t figure out the packaging. So, with about 48 hours before the shoot, I frantically emailed the fabulous Karen Bartolomei of &lt;a href="http://grapevineweddings.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Grapevine Invitations&lt;/a&gt; to help us design some tags that would properly show off these adorable favors. When I tell you that Karen whipped these perfect little tags together in literally an hour, I am being completely serious.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s not terribly surprising considering Karen has written a book called &lt;a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Paperie-for-Inspired-Living/Karen-Bartolomei/e/9780307449436/" target="_blank"&gt;Paperie for Inspired Living&lt;/a&gt; devoted completely to paper treats, but still&amp;#8230;does it get ANY cuter?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Wedding-Diy-2.jpg" alt="diy project" width="600" height="900" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And guess what&amp;#8230;she&amp;#8217;s sharing them with you today! Here&amp;#8217;s the DIY project for the adorable Pie Tags just for SMP readers!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;80 lb white card stock from Paper Source&lt;br /&gt;
 Color Printer&lt;br /&gt;
 3 inch circle hole punch found at Michael&amp;#8217;s Craft Store&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br class="spacer_" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. After choosing your colorway from &lt;a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/SMPPieTags.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;the attached template&lt;/a&gt;, print the circles on 8.5&amp;#8243; x 11&amp;#8243; cardstock (please note, the circles are slightly bigger than the hole punch)&lt;br /&gt;
 2. Turn the page over and print the back checkered pattern. (optional, of course) &lt;br /&gt;
 3. Using a 3&amp;#8243; circle hole punch I purchased at Michael&amp;#8217;s craft store I hole punched each tag in a perfect circle shape&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Coming up next, we&amp;#8217;ll show you how to make the pies and assemble them in such a pretty way for your guests to enjoy! Thank you so much to &lt;a href="http://grapevineweddings.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Karen&lt;/a&gt; for being so generous with her time and talents!! We are going to be doing a fun giveaway with Karen in the coming days so definitely stay tuned.&lt;/p&gt;

Here&amp;#8217;s what Ashaki had to say ~&lt;br class="spacer_" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The main inspiration for our wedding came from my two favorite movies, Gone With The Wind and Marie Antoinette. I made Embry watch these movies countless times while we were dating, and when he barely objected, I knew he was the man for me!!!  I really wanted to have a traditional wedding, but I also wanted to make sure that our day was young, fun, and bright. So we combined traditional accents (inspired by the two movies) ~ the antique gold candelabras, candlesticks, and bowls from the outdoor dining scene in Marie Antoinette &amp;#8230; and a very traditional ceremony wedding gown with all the fixings &amp;#8211; corset, lace, tiered layers  (like in Gone with the Wind!). &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img title="Photography by Agnes Lopez" src="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/gallery/ibb/eddye/ibb-1257388255.jpg" alt="Agnes Lopez Wedding Photography Jekyl Island" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our wedding coordinator, &lt;a title="Cocktails &amp;amp; Details" href="http://www.cocktailsdetails.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Terrica&lt;/a&gt;, was amazing at helping us combine everything!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img title="Photography by Agnes Lopez" src="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/gallery/ibb/eddye/ibb-1257388407.jpg" alt="Agnes Lopez Wedding Photography Jekyl Island" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I wanted the bridesmaids to wear lemon-yellow because I thought it would look absolutely gorgeous on them and also because yellow looks amazing under the sun.  The hostesses wore beautiful cocktail dresses in plumeria.  Both the bridesmaids and hostess dresses were designed by Watters &amp;amp; Watters and were made in dupioni silk.  The girls looked absolutely stunning. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img title="Photography by Agnes Lopez" src="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/gallery/ibb/eddye/ibb-1257390108.jpg" alt="Agnes Lopez Wedding Photography Jekyl Island" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ashaki and Embry were married in a gorgeous outdoor ceremony on the lawn of Crane Cottage at the &lt;a title="Jekyl Island Club Hotel" href="http://www.jekyllclub.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Jekyll Island Club Hotel&lt;/a&gt;.  LBB photographer, &lt;a title="Agnes Lopez ~ Florida Wedding Photographer" href="http://www.agneslopez.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Agnes Lopez&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, was there to capture their special day!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More from Ashaki ~&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;As for me, I knew I wanted a big white dress.  When I went wedding dress shopping with my mother, I did not expect to find two dresses that I absolutely loved.  For the ceremony, I chose a gown with tiered layers, a corset, and lace everywhere.  For the reception, I changed into a strapless gown with a completely beaded bodice and beaded accents on the tulle skirt.  And for a pop of color, I wore fuchsia &lt;a title="Kate Spade" href="http://www.katespade.com/home/index.jsp" target="_blank"&gt;Kate Spade&lt;/a&gt; peep toe pumps with both dresses.  My earrings were designed by the fabulous wedding jewelry designer, &lt;a title="Tejani" href="http://www.tejanibridaljewelry.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Tejani&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

		<content type="html" xml:base="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/11/05/candy-favor-bags-diy-project/">&lt;p&gt;We just announced that we are turning our &lt;a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/11/05/from-inspiration-to-reality-challenge-2/" target="_blank"&gt;From Inspiration to Reality&lt;/a&gt; adventures into a regular feature on SMP which I couldn&amp;#8217;t be more excited about. Such a fun way to get our favorite &lt;a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/little-black-book/" target="_blank"&gt;Little Black Book&lt;/a&gt; members to rub elbows with all of you super stylish brides. Plus, it gives us lots of prettiness to write about and it gives you lots of great ideas to bring into your wedding! It&amp;#8217;s a no brainer!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So in celebration of the new feature, I thought that I would share some of my favorite DIY projects from our last &lt;a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/10/23/from-inspiration-to-reality-the-design/" target="_blank"&gt;From Inspiration to Reality Shoot&lt;/a&gt;! Starting with these really cute, REALLY easy Penny For Your Thoughts Bags! Oh and all of the GORGEOUS photographs are by &lt;a href="http://www.justinmarantz.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Justin and Mary Marantz&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Wedding-DIY-1.jpg" alt="diy project" width="600" height="900" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My vision was to have these cute little bags right next to wishing cards that your guests could write messages on for you. It turned out really cute and I was amazed at just how easy these little favors were to create.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;8.5&amp;#8243; x 11&amp;#8243; Full Sheet Label Paper&lt;br /&gt;
 Color Printer&lt;br /&gt;
 Paper Cutter&lt;br /&gt;
 White Paper Bags (3½-inches x 2-inches x 6¾-inches, found at Michaels)&lt;br /&gt;
 Large Red Brads (found at Michaels)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Instruction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Print out &lt;a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Penny-Candy-Labels.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;this template&lt;/a&gt; on 8.5&amp;#8243; x 11&amp;#8243; full page label sheets. Set your printer to the highest print setting to make sure your text is crisp.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Using a paper cutter, trim the labels to size.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Adhere labels to the center of your white bags, before opening the bags to fill.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Fill the bags with your favorite penny candy. We used little gummies that looked just like pennies that we found at CVS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. Fold the top portion of the bag over and punch a small hole in the center.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6. Insert your red brads to close the bags and keep them secure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next to these cute little bags, scatter a few wishing cards and a tray or a bowl that guests can place them in when they are done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Wishes.jpg" alt="diy project" width="600" height="399" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;ve made this super cute &lt;a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Wishing-Cards.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;wishing cards template&lt;/a&gt; for you to use. Just print it out on 8.5&amp;#8243; x 11&amp;#8243; white card stock and trim down to size. Voila! Coming up next, the super duper cute pie&amp;#8217;s and coordinating tags!&lt;/p&gt;

		<content type="html" xml:base="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2009/11/04/flowers-uncut-on-tlc-tonight/">&lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;ve probably seen the ads for TLC&amp;#8217;s brand spanking new show, &lt;a href="http://www.tlc.com/flowersuncut " target="_blank"&gt;Flowers Uncut&lt;/a&gt;. Jeff Leatham is one of those complete visionaries that designs flowers for some of the world&amp;#8217;s most elite players. And lucky for us, he is bringing his genius to the tube with some of the most gorgeous, over-the-top weddings and events you&amp;#8217;ve ever seen. The minute I laid eyes on Eva Longoria&amp;#8217;s RIDICULOUS flowers, I literally fell out of my chair. Well, the show is debuting tonight and the fab team at TLC has sent over a little sneaky peek&amp;#8230;exclusive for SMP readers!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="600" height="329" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /&gt;&lt;param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7442264&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=1&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=00ADEF&amp;amp;fullscreen=1" /&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="329" src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7442264&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=1&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=00ADEF&amp;amp;fullscreen=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So make sure to check out &lt;a href="http://www.tlc.com/flowersuncut " target="_blank"&gt;Flowers Uncut&lt;/a&gt; with Jeff Leatham tonight at 10PM on TLC. It&amp;#8217;s a 12 part docu-series where Jeff and his assistant Mat take on a new event each week and let us see the drama behind the gorgeousness. Can&amp;#8217;t wait to hear what everyone thinks!&lt;/p&gt;
