Wedding Inspiration

Who doesn't love a good blog these days? One of my faves is Snippet and Ink, a wedding inspiration source written by the creative Kathryn Storke out of Austin, TX. Her color palettes take thoughtful to a new level. This one surprised me with it's monochrome, and the telegram especially caught my eye. My maternal grandmother met my grandfather Jack while she worked at Western Union in the 1940's, and when he went off to war he sent her messages of love and even poetry via the telegram. My mother has a few of these framed; it feels like such an important part of my family history. To my extra surprise this telegram is for a wedding at Serenbe, a place that quickly grown close to my heart. You'll see why soon. ; )

My other favorite element of this collage is the how'd-they-do-that bride and groom kissing through the photo frames. That image is by Elizabeth Messina (whose web site opens to a pair of shoes, God bless her). Check out Kathryn's original post for credits on all the images here.
