I have a secret. Sometimes I wish that we were having a cupcake wedding. This secret wish was further fueled by MS Weddings Fall issue which featured these gilded cupcakes. Swoon.

LOVE - It's A Sign
I am obsessed with this wedding featured on Martha Stewart Weddings (and just about every other wedding blog at the time). I love the aqua and poppy colors, the classically beautiful church, and the fantastically joyful bride and groom. But it was truly the signage that pushed me over the edge of infatuation and envy on this one.
The L - O - V - E signs flanked the alter until the bride and groom shared the marriage beginning smooch at which point the bridal party turned the signs around to reveal X - O - X - O.
Now I'm not sure that M and I can pull this one off. I think the signs look incredible against the church backdrop and it may not fit into our outdoor plaza wedding ceremony. Regardless, a girl can dream, right?

Love Poem Favor Boxes
In oogling the pretty favor packaging goodness over at Martha Stewart Weddings, I stumbled upon something inspiring. As I've mentioned, I have a bit of an obsession with words and pretty readings and I'm looking for many ways to incorporate beyond our ceremony.
These favor boxes may be just what I'm looking for.
The instructions look fairly simple...although I've yet to try my hand at any DIY projects so we'll have to see. I would make a few tweaks...leaving in tact the off-center font on the box but perhaps switching the tie and removing the LOVE beads. I would consider a mix of poems and sonnets to create some depth to the favors so hopefully couples would go home with two different readings.
The Seemingly Simple Instructions:
A beaded message and a few lines of Shakespearean verse photocopied onto newsprint paper spell out pure romance.
Wrap box in 81/2-by-6-inch paper, securing with double-sided tape. Fold 24 inches of waxed twine in half; tie knot 81/2 inches from fold. Thread on beads; knot again.

The Original Inspiration
It's funny with a long engagement to see how your vision shifts and evolves throughout the course of planning. Every once and a while I go back to the original source of inspiration that I plucked from Martha Stewart Weddings. I loved the warm citrus colors and the fluffy poms just tickled me.
How did your inspiration evolve?
