I am loving these custom moss monogram letters for weddings designed by Spotted Leopard. These would be a very nice touch to add to a french country or vintage inspired wedding. The designer can also make them large enough to adorn the entrance doors for a church wedding. Have a look at the ones featured below!

Of course, after your wedding, you can reuse them by incorporating them into your home decor. Perhaps, above your fireplace on the mantel or as wall décor.

So not only are these moss monogram letters a great way to personalize your wedding, but they can serve as nice keepsake from your wedding. To view more custom moss creations by Spotted Leopard, please visit their Etsy shop.

*This is a re-post and content has been modified. I first blogged about
birdcage veils and
couture hair accessories back in 2008 when they were initially becoming popular among modern brides, who were looking for an alternative to the traditional and outdated wedding veil.
With the renewed popularity of birdcage veils, I am sure that more brides will sport them down the aisle for the 2010 wedding season. However, if you are truly into couture hair accessories, I suggest that checkout bridal hats designed by
Artikal Handcrafted Millinery. I learned about them back over the summer and felt in love with their collection.

These modern styled veils and hair accessories are vintage-inspired, but with a modern twist. I, especially love the texture of and little details that went into these designs. Don’t you? They are perfect for high-end bridal photo session.

Are you a vintage-inspired bride?
If so, I invite you to check out the 2010 wedding shoe collection by Di Hassall. In her newest collection, she utilitizes “luxurious fabrics from soft silk chiffon and ethereal organza, pleated and embroided,” including wedding shoes adorned with Swarovki crystals.

These are a few of my favorites from Di Hassall 2010 wedding shoe collection. What’s great about Di Hassall’s bridal shoe collection is that each shoe is handmade and you can get your wedding date branded on the suede leather sole of the shoes.

A couple of months back, we had the opportunity to interview one of our local wedding vendors Mari Palmer, the founder of Bel Canto Designs, a company that specializes in finding and restoring vintage jewelry. If you missed that interview, you can read about it here.
Today, I wanted to rave some more about Mari. She and I both attended a blogging workshop presented by
Liene Stevens last month in Raleigh, NC. Since attending that workshop, Mari has revamped and launch an all new blog where she will share with you some of her most beautiful creations.

I am really feeling vintage-inspired accessories these days, and many of you are hosting a
vintage-inspired wedding or at least are incorporating vintage fashion into your bridal look. So, I thought I would share another fabulous company with you that offers unique and top-quality vintage handbags and accessories,
Birdy Num Num Vintage, created by
Lisa Saxena and Emma Amos.
Birdy Num Num (love their company name) offers one of kind handbags, including top brand name vintage hangbags and purses by Gucci and Pierre Cardin. Featured in this post are just two of my favorites from their company’s collection. I think vintage bags are some of the best quality handbags ever made. What do you like about vintage-inspired accessories.

In yesterday’s
blog post, I mentioned that “if you really want to get creative and personalize your wedding, then you need to think outside of the box.” What that means is that you need to look for unconventional sources of inspiration for your wedding.
Next on my list of things to do to get your creative juices flowing for your
wedding design is to visit a few flea markets and antique shops. Whether you are looking for unique inspiration for your wedding ceremony, a themed cocktail hour, or your wedding reception, flea markets and antique shops are filled with quaint inspiration. Especially, if you are looking to host a country-style or
southern wedding, a
vintage inspired wedding, and even a
green wedding.
