Since its wedding season, I find no better time to showcase one of my favorite wedding shops, BHLDN. This Anthropologie shop has truly become a staple in event clothing and decor. From bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses to accessories and wedding decor, it definitely is a one stop shop for sure.

They carry unique items that all have a bit of a vintage flair and whimsy feel. I highly recommend every bride visit their website and take a look around. If anything, for inspiration. If you’re lucky enough to live by one of their shops, stop in and say hello. I can promise you will leave with a smile.

There is so much BHLDN offers it would probably take a few posts to list all of my favorite things so I decided to list a few items I love that you can find in each category. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much I do.

Oh, do I love paper. Even when I was a child I had a special relationship with it. I loved stationary and would always want my Mother to buy me new pads and notebooks, just so I can have plenty of paper to write and draw on. Today, I simply adore it.

Being an artist you learn how to appreciate paper more. Most of my handmade crafts are made with it as well so I have used more as the years passed. Searching for unique patterns and designs is easy thanks to all the talented people out there creating such beautiful work. From tissue paper to wallpaper, there is something to be found for everyone.

Here are some cool finds I came across upon my searches that I would like to share with you. Get lost in the magnificent glory of all these fun and gorgeous items and let them inspire you, like they inspired me.
