Case in point: One of my clients sent me this link this morning to a super sassy DIY wedding idea.  I absolutely loved it and couldn’t stop laughing at the concept, which the bride of course predicted.

It’s from the delightful Fig and Plum blog: DIY Bride and Groom face Coasters.  A little strange, yes, but I appreciate the originality and out-of-the-box-ness of the approach.

I think it’s just enough hippy kitsch cute – how’s that for a description?; plus, it’s beyond crafty and personal.   What do you think?

p.s. In case you were wondering, the blog editor is NOT from Seattle, but her amazing wedding photographer is, so the Seatle-creativity theory continues.  Seriously, what do they put in the water up there??

Interestingly enough, this Etsy shop (Darling Damask) focuses on wedding items… proof that the items you purchase for your wedding can be used for your home later on!

I also purchased these linen napkins to overlay on the dressers and bedside table in our guest room.  It has sort of a subtle seaside style, so these are absolutely perfect for the look I was going for.
