You can pin me anytime!

(I have to make my titles witty. That's just me.)

I know how much Elle (and many-a-folk) love Etsy! Well, once upon a time, when I had an uber amount of time on my hands, I perused Etsy hours and hours at a time. I stumbled across this, and bookmarked it, because I thought it was unique and green! (I'm all about making things as green as possible, whenever possible. It really is about all the little things you do. No one is asking you to go live in a hut in the jungle. ;-) ) OK, off my little soap-box, on to the loveliness:

She does custom-made boutonnieres (as well as other beautiful, one-of-a-kind wedding pieces), letting the purchaser (aka Elle) choose the color and look of the piece. She does make each one slightly different so each groomsman has a unique piece.
This is a great option for anyone not wanting to worry about refrigerating flowers just to have them die and be tossed (*sad face*) at the end of the night. It's an extra little something the groomsmen can take with them, and maybe even use again!

Toss this!

I LOVED this idea when I came across it. Something different, but beautiful. Tossing lavender buds, instead of rice.

Something Old, Something New

Now, I know purple isn't a color considered, but I found this site where they have dried rose petals/buds:


And the cones are all easy to make since I know Elle is all about easy crafts :-)

"Lyssa" here!

Heyyo!
Well I have to say I'm completely honored to be a part of Elle's wedding. I've known her the least of everyone here, so I must have done something right!
I remember meeting Elle the first time and thinking she was crazy! (Not in a bad way!) Within a few days of meeting her, she said "Let's go to Vegas!" And we did! It was an amazing time with Elle and the future Mr. Elle ;-)
Back in the day, I spent many of hours looking at wedding stuff and some of the things that really popped to me, I saved, and I'll be looking for new ideas for Elle, too!
Those will be for another post.... which one will be in a few minutes :-)
