Love this do it yourself wedding banner, the letters remind me of typewriter keys. Perfect for those vintage inspired weddings this season! You can get the templates for the letters HERE.

fruits of your labor

i came across some images from a wedding today where the bride had provided guests with baskets of fruit for refreshments. i thought that was such a wonderful idea! it's certainly more affordable, more healthy, and a different approach to feeding hungry guests. i scoured the internet for some more great ideas for using fresh fruit for your summer (or fall, or anytime really) wedding.

DIY boutonnieres!

Today's post comes again from one of our favorites, Martha. I love these handmade button boutonnieres. They look fairly easy to make and are a different, fun, quirky alternative to flowers for your groom.

This bouquet of buttons is darling! {you can find the instructions here}

Tweed! I love tweed! If there's one thing I love more than buttons, it's tweed. {instructions here}
