Vintage Glam Inspiration

Over the past several months I have seen my share of events (bordering on overload) that have been tagged as "rustic vintage" or "rustic elegance." Now don't get me wrong, I love me some vintage, and I have seen some amazing rustic weddings, but I find myself needing a little less "rustic" and a little more focus on "vintage." So, in a dainty yet tasteful ode to the roaring twenties, soaring thirties, and fabulous forties and fifties, I give you a little vintage.

Seashells By The Seashore

About a month ago, I walked into my one of my favorite stores on a desperate mission to find a new top and slacks. Well, the mission was a monstrous failure, but after meandering around for several minutes I became abruptly aware of some nautical-themed undertones going on amongst the clothing. Okay, maybe "undertone" is the wrong word here; it was like a yacht club came in and exploded. Nevertheless, what a FUN idea for an inspiration board!! Enjoy!

Chalk It Up To Creativity

It's September, students and teachers have made their way back to school, so why not show off your scholastic side with a little chalkboard inspired decor!

Chalkboards come in a range of sizes and have just as many uses--- mini-labels, elaborate "welcome" signs, or menu displays. Put on your thinking cap and write a fun note; your guests will appreciate the personalized message.

Lovely Lace

I feel like lace is one of those fabrics that you either absolutely love or you can't stand. Personally, I enjoy a little touch of lace, it's feminine and can be used to enhance both antique or modern looks. So, in a nod to a certain young royal's wedding gown (sleeves), I present to you a few fun ways to incorporate a little lace...

Integrate some lace into centerpieces, flowers/bouquets or guest favors using lace...

I love these lace inspired invitations and invitation liners, both by Martha Stewart Weddings.

Incorporating a lace pattern into your cake design is a modern way to use classic lace patterns...and it's delicious!

These DIY lace paper lanterns are elegant and add a hint of interest to a table setting.
