Speaking of going off the registry...

Tell me these personalized dishes and mugs from Jessica Rust, aren't your favorites... I dare you.

(Those are your initials she's carved into the birch tree. Adorable!)

You can even register for these goods through her site! I love it.

She gets into my soul.

Minis

According to NY Mag, they're "in" in a major way these days. Would you ever consider going short for your wedding?

She's at it again.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Everything Amy Beth Cupp Dragoo touches turns to gold.
Check out what she's been working on lately while I try to catch my breath.
You can see more on the Bespoke Stationery site. She also has a fabulous facebook page with tons of photos of her work. It's all terribly inspirational.

Silver? It never occured to me, but I love it.

Maggie's election themed set. Brilliant.

It's hard to do it beat chocolate brown and pink. And the letter pressed background of their names=Adorable detail.

Look closely. They signed the invitations!

Two months to go!

I'm getting married exactly two months from yesterday. I can't believe how quickly time has passed. It seems like weeks ago that Mr. Diagnosis Deferred was down on one knee in our closet with a gorgeous ring in his hand and all of a sudden we're going on tastings and I'm having my dress fitted. There is still so much to be done... It's crunch time, baby!

Italy

Apartment Therapy is featuring a fabulous post titled "Our Summer Trip to Italy" by Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan. It's particularly apropos as we've just booked our Honeymoon for two weeks in said boot-shaped country. After quite a bit of back-and-forth we decided to commit to a single country and explore it in depth rather than attempt to fit multiple countries into our 14 days. These photos of Florence are only adding to my growing excitement.

Leanne Marshall

I loved her all Season 5. Those petals? I was in heaven. Soft, fabricy heaven. Everything she made looked like you'd put it on and never, ever want to take it off.
Have a look at what she's up to now. More goodness.


And the most amazing part? She will make you a custom dress starting at $3500. A short, ready to wear piece is $1300!
