Amazing straw hat!

Amazing straw hats at Maria Bonita Extra

procrastinating

I've added a couple more links to the inspirational wedding blog list, just to the RIGHT.
I am spending WAY too much time browsing wedding blogs these days.
I know that I should be working on something, you know, like WORK!
But it's just so easy to take a quick peek here or a wee gander there.

Plus it is much more fun than pounding the crap out of a sheet of metal (sometimes) or waiting for flux to dry (always).

Some of the ideas that I am leaning towards these days...
Sangria in a pour your own container. (I don't know what it's actually called, pitcher? Carafe? Giant jug with spout?)

Gold leafed rocks as decorations...

Hand punched aluminum cans as candle holders...

So cute!
Plus totally fitting in with my theme of total DIY domination.

Watch out world.
She's CRAFTY.

Might do this...

Or something like it anyway.
Check out the How To at Style Me Pretty here.

Then there is THIS dress.

I know that I am going ON about dresses, but they are SO AMAZING.

So deal with it.

Gorgeous sweater/wrap

I saw this the other day and I absolutely LOVE IT!
Wouldn't it look amazing with that JCrew dress?
sigh!

charming favour idea

Simple, sweet, and laid back.

Just like ME!!

Mwar har har.

Dress possibility?

These are all versions of a similar dress at J Crew (again I know! but they've got lovely stuff)
I like the simplicity of the style.

I am still leaning towards making the dress from scratch, I've got a hilariously cute idea.
But I wonder if I am trying to have a hand in TOO much with this, if maybe I should keep my mind open to more straightforward options.
Something that doesn't strain an already VERY busy sewing friend.
Something that doesn't involve a laser maybe.
Because my hand made idea involves BOTH of these things!

And then I saw THIS today...

Now I am torn.
