Pie!
Wha??
I’m an all American girl {you know, apple pie and all that} so I do love the Pie tables that some of the American weddings are having. You know, it’s just like a candy display or sweets or cake disply but with all American Pies!
Feast your eyes!
And even on a stick!
I think this is a perfect idea for a country, rustic or autumn wedding. But don’t forget the a la mode!

I said to someone recently that metallics and a bit more bling were coming on trend for 2012. Not that vintage or rustic is gone, it’s just that I think we are pretty much ready to come back to a bit more sparkle and shine. It’s like everyone is a little more optimistic and we want to show it.
A great example of where this sparkle and shine is coming in is mercury glass. You may have seen it popping up but not paid much attention. Well pay attention! Mercury glass can absolutely be used in your vintage wedding as candle holders, votives or for your flowers. – and you can make it. Yes you can take an ordinary glass whatever and mercury it! But more on that later. For now here are some pretty pictures to inspire you.

Now your DIYers, how do you create these lovelies? I present you with 2 tutorials. One by Martha and another by Anna. Believe it or not I find Anna’s more detailed. I think Martha just has the touch so maybe she doesn’t have to work as hard but I need all the detail I can get.
I may just try this for one of my girls!

I love quotes. I think a lot of people do. And how approproate it is to incorporate a few favorite love quotes into your wedding.
Sources for quotes can come from anywhere. Poems, verses, songs or direct quotes. In fact, I got this collection on WeddingBee. {but I’m so so sorry I don’t know where I got this beautiful image!}

Play with them a little to see how they can fit into your wedding. Here is how one couple used quotes and sayings in their gorgeous wedding
perfectly painted banners fromt his wedding over on Green Wedding Shoes or this one below, love words written on the stage they stood upon to exchange their vows
on the Loveliest Day.
And lovely is the word for them.
