Lost in the wedding blog rabbit hole.

Since getting engaged a couple of months ago I've gone a bit nuts on the "research." The freedom of suddenly being able to peruse wedding blogs openly, instead of stealthily under the cover of darkness, has been enticing. I dove in head first. I lost hours, and eventually whole afternoons, to emerge, blurry-eyed, with nothing to show for it besides some robust browser bookmark folders. I think I've had some time to adjust, and can safely navigate the wedding-web world without feeling completely lobotomized afterward. So, in celebration of my new-found control, here's some recent inspiration:

Really into the burlap. This wedding is featured at Elizabeth Anne Designs.

One way or another I'm going to find a way to get logs on the tables. Also from Elizabeth Anne Designs.

Thinking about doing something similar, involving apples. So excited about the apples. More at Ruffled.

I love the idea of incorporating rustic, earthy items like twigs and nuts into bouquets. We're getting whatever is in season that week from a nearby flower farm, and my floral-designer sister-in-law is going to help arrange. I'm kind of excited that we won't know exactly what we're getting until we go pick them up. I said I wanted "seasonal" and I'm going to get it, alright.
