    seersucker

    Kathryn from Snippet & Ink is back again today with another inspiring summer detail...

    Seersucker is the most summer appropriate fabric I can think of - it's lightweight, breathable cotton, and it looks fine even after wrinkling a little from being worn. It comes in so many colors, from classic blue to red and even orange. And how beautiful would a custom-made seersucker wedding gown be? You can also pull it into elements of your wedding beyond just dress - striped stationery and ribbons, a seersucker ring pillow, and even table linens. I played a little with seersucker in this inspiration board from awhile back.

    introducing vintage wednesdays

    Vintage Wedding Decor Ideas

    Do you ever wonder where people get inspiration for vintage decor items that can be used for weddings, events & even for your own home? Inspired by some of our recent weddings, we thought it would be fun to partner with our friend Kate Headley to talk about and show items in the coming weeks anyone can find and incorporate with a little creativity...and very little cash!

    Searching for these items is relatively easy once you get your mind in gear...all it takes is some patience and an eye to find that fun item...

    We spotted this older bicycle for just a few dollars at a flea local market...all it needs is a little basket on the front and it can be used for some fun wedding or engagement photo shots...

    From flea markets and thrift stores...to antique shops...there is always something "new" waiting. We also personally love how finding thrifted items can also be green too - buying something previously used is always a bonus!
