Hi all!
I am pretty much exhausted after my double play weekend of Kelly and Jen’s weddings, but definitely excited at the same time! Today’s masons are a little favor I made for Kelly’s wedding, which I will do a DIY for later this week {super easy and cute!}
See you all tomorrow!

Custom postage stamps are continuing to grow in popularity for wedding invitations, save the date cards, RSVP cards and even thank you cards for wedding gifts. Custom postage allows you to choose the style and size of the postage stamp used on your invites. This gives couples a great way to coordinate the postage on the outside of their envelope with the style and color of the invitation inside. Here are a few of the thousands of designs to choose from (you can even create your own):
Before you choose buy custom postage stamps for your invitations here are a few tips to keep in mind:

Once again, a few bloggers got together to shower the lovely Tori of Tickle My Fancy for her wedding, which is today! Tori is one of the most supportive ladies I’ve ever come across, and just an amazing person overall.
For the “shower”, we each provided a picture and in my case, I provided a picture and a few words, too :) My picture was the heart lei sitting on the beach and my words were “E pili mau na pomaika’i me ‘oe” which means “Best Wishes” in Hawaiian :)
Wishing you all the best today and always, and many happy days to come!
Today’s warm welcome goes out to Wedding Stamps, who, in association with Zazzle, is an amazing resource to create your own custom wedding stamps. Pat and I did this for our wedding to tie in certain parts of our design all the way in to our stamps, and I really loved how easy it was to customize and create online!
Wedding Stamps will be joining us in the next few days to offer tips on wedding mailings and postage, so keep an eye out for them. In the meantime, though, make sure to go say hello! Every week they give away $25 in free postage stamps, so definitely give their Facebook page a “like” to be entered. Free stuff is always good!

Today is my last day visiting with my parents before they head back to Connecticut. I asked the lovely Erika of Radiant Republic to visit the blog today because a) I totally love her style, b) she is a fellow New Englander, just like me, and c) she pretty much rules. So I’m handing the reins over to Erika for the day to give us her interpretations of New England Wedding Inspiration. Make sure you go visit Erika’s blog, too, and give her some love {tell her I said to say hi!}
Hello! I’m Erika and I blog at Radiant Republic. I’m thrilled to be contributing to Lovely Little Details today. And I look forward to meeting all of you!
Jacin and I haven’t yet met in person, but we’ve quickly bonded over our adorations of the California coast and mutual New England upbringings. When Jacin invited me to be a guest of LLD, I knew a nautical New England theme would be perfectly fitting!
With coastal Maine, Nantucket, Cape Cod, and “Little Rhody” at their fingertips, New Englanders tend to be ocean people. And when ocean people decide to wed, their visions often include sand, sea breeze, and views of the Atlantic.
These hand drawn maps by Ice Cream Social are perfect announcements for a nautical wedding on the Cape. I especially love that they’re printed on canvas and wrapped in a preppy, striped bellyband. Truly an invitation that will last a lifetime! {invites/photos by Ice Cream Social}
What better time to don an embellished hair accoutrement than a breezy, seaside nuptial? This striped pinwheel adds an element of whimsy, while keeping the bride’s coif from being blown about by the ocean air. {photo by Jasmine Star}
A playful nautical theme can even be extended to the groomsmen’s attire. Think colorful striped ties and bright boutonnières! {photo by Kellan Studios}
Lanterns hung by loose, satin bows are the products of a brilliant DIY project. These gorgeous hues set the stage for an elegant walk down the sandy aisle!
The use of rope in place of ribbon is a fanciful interpretation of the seafaring theme. The juxtaposition of seaside casual and sophistication is so charming. What a stunning entrance!
These wedding favors certainly make for a sweet departure. Who doesn’t love S’mores? The navy ribbon detail is the perfect touch.
In true New England fashion, local beer is undoubtedly served. What’s a seaside affair without a Nantucket-brewed Whale’s Tale? {photos by Stacey Hedman and Brea McDonald}
I’ve always been enamored with the tradition of riding into the sunset in a fancy car with wedding cans trailing across the cobblestones. What a magical getaway for the brand new Mr. and Mrs. Can you think of a more exciting escape?
I hope you’ve enjoyed my interpretation of nautical New England weddings! Now I’m excited to hear from all of you! What are some of your tips for an enchanting seaside affair?
From Jacin – OK as a Nantucket-loving gal, I’ll have to add my two cents that fresh donuts from the Downy Flake would be the perfect accompaniment to a post-wedding brunch or better yet, a late-night snack! {images from NantucketOnline.com}
Did you hear? Our darling girl Allison of Engaged & Inspired is getting married on Friday! As in THIS Friday! And we couldn’t be any happier for her! We’ve followed her planning and I even got to meet her for lunch one foggy afternoon a few months back, as we talked about planning, DIY, and life after wedding planning :)
So in true blogger/twitter style, a few of us ladies got together to give her a sendoff on her way to the altar. The theme was “Life After The Big Day” and we all sent an image along with some words of wisdom. If you’re wondering what my mason picture means – my message was: “Enjoy each moment together, never take each other too seriously and don’t get rid of the masons from your wedding” :)
Here you go, Allison – this one’s for you!

After yesterday’s dahlia post I couldn’t help but think I had seen similar textures and shapes recently… and look what I found in my searching. I love how one thing can send you off on a hunt for inspiration, and those cafe au lait dahlias were just the thing to get my mind running!

Oh ruffles, how I love thee. Please stick around for a while, this is one trend I can’t get enough of!
Happy Tuesday!
