I came across Night Owl Paper Goods while I was planning my wedding. I saw they offered wood invitations and save the dates and I fell in love. Unfortunately, I we couldn’t afford them but I still plan to use that idea for something in the future. As I took a look around their shop I just couldn’t resist smiling at all the cute and unique items they sell. I just had to make them shop of the month. They rule!

Super crafty team, Alan Henderson and Jennifer Tatham, show their love for handmade goods, the earth and folk art through the design of their website as well as all the items they offer. They have been featured in numerous publications like Everyday with Rachael Ray and Cottage Living as well as the Today Show. Their unique goods can be found in hundreds of stores. I can see why!

Here are a few of my absolute loves from their shop.

The save the dates for your big day are the first peek into your wedding. Besides letting your guests know they are invited it shares where and when you chose to have your wedding. I feel they should always reflect the bride and groom and the theme or style of your event. If they are not cohesive with the formal invitation it gets a little confusing.

I have seen some, along with the invites, that didn’t go with the wedding at all and it just doesn’t make sense to me. I know not everyone is a designer, but that is why you have a designer create them for you. It’s just disappointing when nothing really goes together. It doesn’t have to be matchy matchy but it should all have the same feel. It just shows the event wasn’t planned right or the bride and groom don’t care much about details.

Well, here are the save the dates I created so far. You can find them all in my Etsy shop. I try to offer a variety of styles that appeal to everyone. There are more to come soon! You can always stay updated on new items in my shop by checking out my Pinterest board.

Summer Wedding Inspiration

Spring and summer are definitely popular seasons for weddings. However, sometimes the hot weather can put a damper on the festivities. No one likes to sweat when they are dressed up, especially the bride and groom!

Here are some ideas when having a summer wedding. If you are having a reception outside I can only say, keep it cool, fun and comfortable. Hope they inspire all the sun loving couples out there who plan to incorporate this season into their special day.

Keeping the decor light and airy is what you want to try to do. Stay within summer’s elements with blooms and lush natural beauty. Even when using dark colors, you should reflect off their heaviness with pastels or light neutrals. Just so it doesn’t feel stuffy.
