Wedding Cans

This wedding stationary set is designed by Chris Trivizas from Greece, who packaged the invitations inside tin cans. It is a custom to attach the cans to the back of a car after the couple is married, so he includes string and an infographic explaining how to tie the cans to the car.

I like how he incorporates a real can, so it is tactile and can be used for the traditional purpose too. I’d love to find more original wedding ideas in the form of packaging!

This pair of matching cups by studio note from Japan, is both elegant and meaningful. The white and blue patterned cups look as though two separate porcelain cups were broken, and then pieced together to combine the two.

Of course, that is not how the cups were really made, but the way they compliment each other do give the idea of sharing and being inseparable. They are truly a pair, holding the pieces their other half does not to complete them :)

The pieces are joint with a technology using silver, which makes them very delicate, but they look too beautiful to be placed in a microwave anyway :P The name and packaging are equally as cute! It makes a very memorable housewarming or wedding gift.

Sarah Seven

Since I’m not engaged, I’ve never really researched styles of wedding dresses. I just know there’s a lot out there! When I came across Sarah Seven last year, I fell in love and since then have known exactly what kind of dress I would want.

The draping of her fabric is lovely, and her bridal collection is soft and feminine. It’s just layer after layer of chiffon goodness! Her items are custom-made so just send her your measurements for a one-of-a-kind wedding dress :)

Headdress

Susan by Emma Cook

I went to Urban Outfitters yesterday and tried on this gorgeous headband by Emma Cook. I immediately fell in love, but convinced myself not to buy it because I’m really not the type to wear an extravagant headband on a day-to-day basis. But if I were looking for something to wear in my hair as a bride… bingo! It’s so soft, and romantic. For a moment I felt like a Victorian princess.

And thanks to Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf, headbands are making a huge comeback. So you are sure to see more of them posted here in the future. It’s a simple and secure way to complete your look on the big day.

She also has some really cute display typefaces, and she’s working on a few more. The best part is they’re free to download!

Pour Me Another

a couple of mugs

You know what makes me feel cozy when the air outside gets chilly? A nice cup of tea or hot cocoa. So for a wedding gift or anniversary present this season, why not consider a sweet His and Hers mug set? Handmade, ceramic with raised typography = very cool, especially for a crafty couple who love all things vintage.
