Reader Question
"I am in search of a chandelier for my wedding in September. Our theme is very romantic, ivory/white in color, mason jars, pearls, etc. I saw some chandeliers on your website – can you give me any information on where I can look to purchase any of them?"
Would appreciate the help so very much! Thanks!

Twine is a simple, inexpensive way to dress up your mountain wedding. There's something at once rustic and polished about wrapping objects, whether a napkin or a bottle with twine. It's an added touch that says you care about the details, but its neither expensive or time-consuming to pull off. Here are a few of my favorite ideas:
Twine Wrapped Table Number Bottles:

Some ideas are just too brilliant not to share. I first saw these amazing little paint-chip garlands by Grace and Light over on Sparkle & Hay. I hope I'm not the only blogger who shout this idea from the rooftops!
There's so much I love about this idea:

Use mix and match carpets for your ceremony runner.
I saw this on The Bride's Cafe and had one of those aha moments where it made such perfect sense that I wonder why I didn't think of that. A little bit rustic, a little bit luxurious, these carpets create enough interest that you don't really need aisle flowers, saving you money!

Oh and I {Heart} Hearts too!
Hearts have long symbolized the sweetest and most innocent love–a pure love that knows no bounds and is unconditional. No wonder they are making a comeback in a big way. But rather than cheesy plastic hearts available in the wedding section of Walmart (blat), 2011 brides are expressing themselves with hand-crafed heart-shaped details. There is something so sweet about both the asthetic and the endeavor of making little hearts. It reminds me of making home-made Valentines for school. Remember putting that extra bit of glitter onthe Valentine for your sweetest crush or BFF? Awwwww…
