I get all warm and fuzzy when I think of my latte...ahhh! And seeing this neutral in a wedding palette is having the same effect. simple. gorgeous.

It is a perfect pairing for a bold pop of color but my favorite is when layered with other neutrals...blush, tans and browns.

laser cut leather lace by marchesa

Laser cutting is a cool trend that can amazingly look modern and chic yet wildly romantic all at the same time.

I love that you can apply this design technique to a variety of materials for a completely different vibe...fabric, leather, wood, acrylic, metal and paper.

I especially love what is being done in fashion and with invitations. Intricate details take center stage with laser cutting.

oh so beautiful paper!

As a top wedding trend for 2013, you will be seeing this everywhere and it is stunning in all forms from fashion to paper to home decor. I love that it is trending but not overly trendy. Perfect way to add detail and personality.

Burlap = Rustic chic...instantly! I am over the moon about all the burlap potential and a wedding.

The texture and colors are amazing. It's versatile, accessible, can be DIY easy and it's reasonable. The perfect way to add a touch of country swank.

Just when I thought chevrons rocked my world...OMG...check out these charming burlap details!

 So, so, so cute...

If you are in the DIY mood, burlap can be found online for under 2 bucks a yard! And one of my favorite ways to add burlap is to use jute webbing. BurlapFabric.com is a great resource and hasa variety of colors available. 

Otherwise, Etsy is your sure-fire place for burlap accents. Hands down it's a perfect option when creating bunting, runners and other rustic accents (and easier to handle!) for any celebration!

Who isn't a little bit ga-ga for chevron?!? I love how it instantly adds a clean, chic, timeless element of design to any party, home or wardrobe!

This could easily be my longest post yet as I  almost everything chevron that I have come across. However, I think I'll just share some of my faves...and more faves...

Horses and I go together like coffee and cream...and with the rustic barn wedding craze, I simply cannot get enough!

I literally SWOON at all of the stunning images of horses and weddings. With brides. With grooms. With couples. Even with a Prince and his Princess. Honestly picture perfect.

Even if you aren't ga-ga for equestrian, you can't deny the natural beauty and inspiration in horses and weddings...
