| Erin Napier recently launched an invitation compay, Lucky Luxe Correspondence, and I'm smitten with these images of the lovely invitation suite she created for her wedding this past November. I really like how she used scalloped edged scissors around save the date/RSVP postcards. What a great way to add a little detail without a lot of cost...
|
| I also couldn't resist sharing this recent save-the-date Erin created for a client on a lace hankie. How fun would it be to receive a save the date like this in the mail? The lace around the edges is just beautiful.

Happy 2009! I've been super busy the last two weeks working behind the scenes working on new projects and getting ready to launch the new site(finally!). The new Once Wed will have a completely different look and so many more features, so I really can't wait to see what everyone thinks.
I wanted to say a big thank you to Lara Casey and her team over at Southern Weddings for including Once Wed in their premiere issue as one of their favorite wedding blogs. The magazine officially launches tomorrow, so be on the look out for it on newstands all over the US. Have I also mentioned how excited I am to see Tec and Chelsea on the cover...
|
| I know I don't usually post on the weekends, but I couldn't resist sharing this image by Max Wagner from Joanna Goddard's recent engagement session. Check out her lovely blog, A Cup of Jo, to see more...

I hope you have a wonderful New Years Eve! I am so excited about 2009 and I will see everyone back here Monday morning...

| Remember this gorgeous image I posted last week? Well, the very talented Jonathan Canlas was kind enough to share a few more images from Caisa and Adrian's charming wedding for today's real wedding feature. I can't tell you how much I love Caisa's wedding dress. I am not usually drawn to lots of ruffles, but man does she pull of her wedding dress smashingly well or what? Jonathan did such a beautiful job of capturing the fun and lighthearted mood of the day, so you definitely don't want to miss checking out his blog for more.

Posting will be a little lighter than usual this week, but I will definitely be
back to my normal routine by next Monday. I thought I would start off the week sharing some of my favorite details from the new Martha Stewart
Weddings. I'm not really a pink person, but all the gorgeous peaches and yellows in the newest issue are just too lovely to resist.
I really like the simple, doiley garlands above. I don't think I've ever seen them used in this format before, but it seems like a pretty easy and fun project to undertake. My favorite spread in the whole magazine though was this table top created by the very talented Sarah Ryhanen of Saipua. I know its hard to see from the images, but she used the most beautiful depression-era glass as vases and the flowers of course are absolutely gorgeous.

I can't believe how fast this year has flown by and how far Once Wed
has come since when I first launched it back in March. I am so excited
about 2009 and can't wait to implement all these ideas I've been
dreaming of to make the site even better. We are finally in the
homefront of the new site launch, so I am taking the next week off to
finalize details and upload new content. I hope everyone has a
wonderful and safe holiday with friends and family. I will see you back
here in 2009. Merry Christmas!

| To set the mood for their upcoming wedding, Liana decided on invitations with a woodland/nature feel about them. She created the Save The Date template herself and had them printed by Overnight Prints. The nature stamps were found on ebay and the invitations are from Olio Style.
|
| Liana, thank you again for taking the time to share your beautiful wedding with us today!
|
| Who can resist the lovely, yellow poofs from Martha Stewarts Craft line?
|
| Liana scattered the table with pinecones, yellow votives, and birch tube vases filled with dahlias.
|
| Inspired by Lena Corwin's infamous wedding, Liana spent 18 months thrifting vintage plates for her own wedding. You think this would be more expensive route to take over renting, but in reality it tends to be a lot cheaper. Liana only spent on average $1 per plate and was able to sell the 100 plus plates she collected after the wedding, so when all the costs add up together it ended up being a great cost effective alternative and it complemented the aesthetic of the wedding.
|
| Liana and her father made tons of homemade elderberry jelly to give out to guests as favors.
|
| Liana had Big Sur Bakery create lemon and chocolate cupcakes plus a mini cake for her and Troy to cut. She purchased the lovely cakestand from Room Service Home.
|
Stay tuned for Liana's charming invitations coming up next...
