For the LOVE of paper!

Who would have thought that paper can be turned into so many beautiful and creative things? As well as being able to create something fun without the time consuming detail? Here are a some ideas I have found and have also created items which were inspired by these photos and tutorials:

I used this tutorial of this banner to create our "Love is Sweet" banner that hung above our candy buffet table at our wedding. We just changed the ribbon and paper but used the same steps...

Little Ruffled Dress

So I have been working on this dress for a while now {it's my first one} & I'm definitely not done yet but here's my progress so far...

The top is made of satin with a V neck. The sleeves are still being worked on...
The back is also a deep V neck.

The bottom is made of chiffon ruffles as well as lace...which takes some time to layer and make sure they are all even and straight.

I'm still adding layers.

Hopefully, this project will be done by the end of the weekend...although I think I have to buy more material to complete it.

I'm super excited for the end result!!!

Then, I can start my next project :)...

{Hint} It's not clothing--but an accessory

Vintage Inspiration--Accessories

Vintage inspired accessories are so beautiful and with many arising weddings and other events with this "theme," I have found many items from necklaces to earrings to shrugs to boutonieres and many more all over the web {mostly on Etsy}. For those of you who are looking for ways to add a bit of antique inspired pieces to your upcoming event here are some ideas:
