With all these wedding lovelies, the only highlight today I have is this simple message: love yourself, as much as you love your loved one.

Okay, and this, which I "wear" on my car every day (and can't find for sale anymore, but love....).

Love Shak #10: Love is in Bloom (Pt 2)

Sorry, L, flowers are just too stinkin gorgeous.  Just *look* at all these beautiful things out there!

• This beautiful DIY on design*sponge by studio choo!

• This French trend (you guys like French, right?) from 100 Idees Deco featured on decor8.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• Ooh, mismatched bottles.  I'm so glad you loved how they turned out for your party last Saturday -- with your mason jars, these'll be sooo lovely! Photo from emma's designblogg, featuring Loft Life Magazine.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• And did you see this gorgeousness earlier this week on The Sweetest Occasion, featuring Country Living?

 

• Okay, and finally: via Weddings Fresh (featuring Soul Mates Photography), look how this cluster of simple glass vases can look so elegant, too!
  

• Okay, no really, finally: I know this is not.your.style.at all, but I just loved the bunches of *carnations* that these are!!

And ... ta-da! I think this is the last post I've got scheduled. I know you've got your venue, your cake, your fabulous dress, your centerpiece + reception ideas down... is there anything else you need inspiration for :)?  

Love Shak #5 Love is In Bloom!

Really, L, hydrangeas aren't in season in April? Or will be super pricey? Darn, but here's some hydrangea love for you :)

Sorry, not to taunt :D Bc clearly I love ranunculus! I wish I knew what it was in plural form :) But here's some more beauties (and okay, other random pretty flowers!), in case that wasn't enough for you ;)

Love Shak #2: Love Bucket

Okay, so blue mason jars are clearly gorgeous. And probably don't go with these steel buckets I've been trying to push on you :) But hey, rehearsal dinner, maybe? If y'all aren't doing something at a restaurant that's already decorated...? Crap, who am I kidding, I just have all these buckets around + then there've been these cute cute pics floating around here and there :)

Love Shak #1: Centerpieces

Dear L,

Okay, I know I've disclaimer-ed the heck out of my offers for help, but just in case again ;) -- there's just so much gosh darn pretty things out there, and I know you've got fabulous taste, so you don't need any assistance. Well, other than manual labor for when the time comes, and you know you've got my hands ready to go! But sometimes, I see some things, and how can friends not see something they think is fabulous for their friend + not share? Or, is that what psychos say to justify their actions? Crap.

Well, here's my way of not bombarding you constantly ;) -- for the next 6 months or 12 :) And, for reasons I imagine you can figure out, your series gets to be Love Shak ;) I imagine now that you've discovered google notebook, you probably have a lot of these -- but the beauty of this series is that you can *see* them all together, rather than clicking all through your bookmarks! But uh if you've figured that out on google notebook, then pass that tip along to me, will ya :)?

First up: mason jars!

via apartmenttherapy

I mentioned I fell in love with the blue ones, and then your response made me think you weren't thinking blue -- and I can see why: Did you catch the Weddingbee post on making centerpieces using clear ones :)?

Holy crapola, Weeping Cherries has a whole Monday series on Mason Jars! Ooh, here's a special one just on wedding centerpieces... Sorry I don't see any photo credits (anyone who can help out, feel free to chime in!), but gosh, these sure are lovely...
