I want this book! I'm already working on a handful of weddings this year that are going to have some amazing DIY touches and I have a feeling that Handmade Weddings: Over 50 Crafts to Style and Personalize Your Big Day would come in very handy...

Grace assures us that it's that perfect mix of trendy and timeless, crafty and classic...I've seen a lot of DIY weddings that are a little to precious for my tastes, but this book looks like a great guide for projects that will make your day wholly unique.

hey, did anyone out there get engaged over the holidays? how's wedding planning coming along?

big day get away

I've never given a whole lot of thought to destination weddings-- in my opinion, they're just expensive for everyone, and unless you have some kind of familial tie to the location...why spend all that money to get away from all of your friends and family?

however, when I saw photos of this gorgeous Antigua wedding, well...it kinda changed my mind.

....kinda amazing! it was the candles tucked in the wall nooks of the 17th century building that really killed me. overall a little on the formal side, but so, soooo gorgeous.
