Everything's Coming Up Roses

I've been wanting to share this wonderful DIY project I saw on Martha for a while now as these paper roses are just too much fun. Templates and instructions are provided at Martha Stewart.com. Imagine a whimsical wedding celebration with these lovelies used as centerpieces down some long guest tables. And if you don't feel ambitious enough to do it yourself, you can order them through Amble Through Bramble, the creator of these fanciful fleurs. There are even barrettes and broaches to match!

Guest Book Quilt

I'm a huge fan of Martha, so I'm sure this won't be the last post about an inspiring project from the wedding guru herself. I'm also a huge fan of unique guest books that aren't really "books" after all. So imagine my excitement when I ran onto this fantastic idea of a guest book quilt on MarthaStewart.com. Martha's assistant Liesl was recently married and there are all sorts of inspirations that can be found from her extraordinary wedding, which of course is featured on MarthaStewart.com. I would expect nothing less from someone who is around Martha 60-80 hours a week! What a wonderful keepsake (and possible heirloom for later generations) that can be cherished for many many years to come.
