five friday favourites: wedding blogs

Charleston Wedding via Style Me Pretty
I've put together todays' five Friday favourites to share some of the amazing blog posts that inspired our wedding plans at the very beginning and that we kept returning to as the date approached. We found everything from bouquet inspiration to clothing advice to hairstyles thanks to the generosity of so many bloggers and photographers and couples who go to the trouble of sharing their ideas, inspiration and wedding day online. Here are a few that really resonated with us...perhaps you can imagine a little of what our wedding tomorrow will look like? Tomorrow!?! That's crazy...(and, I must admit, I'm writing this when the wedding is actually a week away, so tomorrow sounds really crazy). Click on the captions to see the full posts.

apartamento





Apartamento is amazing. I've been pouring over the latest issue since I got it last week. It's completely packed with interior design, fashion, fabrics, jewelry, furniture, and especially photography inspiration. That light-blasted photo of the woman on the couch with her cat? It's pretty much the best photo that I have seen in a long time and makes me want to take some new photos right now. This magazine makes me want to redecorate my apartment, go vintage shopping in New York, cook an amazing dinner over an open fire, and live in a rural  part of Portugal with three cats and three dogs.

But it's not just the pictures that I'm hooked on. This issue is full of profiles on designers, creative homeowners, and even a pull-out section on studio style (including a family that weaves its own textile line) and a food zine called called "tutti frutti". My favourite interviews are the ones with older artists who can illuminate things like Italian furniture design in the '80s and legendary Sunday suppers in London. I love it and it's available here or if you live in Vancouver you can find it at the UBC Bookstore, Old Faithful in Gastown, or at the Inventory shop, which I have never even heard of and will have to check out now. Now to redecorate...after work, of course.

Oh yes, and I have a guest post at There & Here today. Take a look!
