WOOPS!!!

If you’ve found GreyLikesWeddings.com, congratulations. However, GreyLikesWeddings is in the process of moving…packing boxes and everything…you know how awful that can be. In the meantime, we’re still at our old location: HERE. If you haven’t been there in a while, you’re probably wondering why Grey never updates anymore. She is…and you have lots to catch up on. Head over to our other site, and we promise, we’ll let you know when we make this our new permanent home.

Cheers!!!

How cute is this?

Oh my gosh. Run, don’t walk. If you have someone to give this to, you MUST buy this adorable greeting. It makes me want to get engaged!

Oh Happy Day!

After finding this yellow save the date card by Lucky Paperie on Etsy, I just had to find more sunny hues. I’ve always had this romantic notion that I could get married in a orchard–saying “I do” under fruit trees. What a delight.

Real Wedding: Heather and Mike

Today, I wanted to post a bright and cheery wedding, so I went on a search and found photographer Stacy Sodolak of SMS Phtography via The Knot (after which I couldn’t leave her blog). This destination wedding fit the bill perfectly for what I was in the mood for…all of the color choices are so creative and well suited for a Mexico wedding. I’m telling you…this type of wedding is high on my wedding wish list. I hope you enjoy!

I’m in love: Aqua and Poppies

I think I just found the color palette I’m using when I get married. I’m completely in love!

Real Wedding: Iris and Travis

I stumbled across the UNBELIEVABLE floral designer, Birch and was blown away by their portfolio. Among the imaginative design, this wedding really stood out to me. Can I say, first off, that I love the adventure both designer and bride took with the flowers? BRAVO!!! Anna Kuperberg photographed captured these stunning images at Beaulieu Vineyard and the wedding was first featured on Green Wedding Shoes blog. Letterpress invites by Chewing the Cud

Inspired: Tree-faring Vows

Brooklyn Park

The trees all along my street are in full spring mode, which means for the short period of time that they are dripping in creamy blooms, a white canopy covers our little avenue with cascades of petals lilting graciously down to the street below. I’ve always dreamt of getting married under a tree like this one pictured here, from NY Times via Kiss my Aster (a totally cute blog about gardening). 

So, all this tree talk got me thinking about what I’d do for a wedding if I were getting married under a tree. I can tell you, first off, the tree might be decked out like this one, by Jasmine Star

And I’d likely want to have a wish tree, if it could look like this loveliness, via Here Comes the Guide.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed your President’s Day like I did–lounging around in pajamas. I wanted to start off this week with a follow up to an image I included in one of my pictorials in this post

These tree seedlings make for completely adorable favors. Plant a Memory is an online shop that sells the trees, and though they are a bit pricey, I just couldn’t resist sharing the source with those of you who might be able to afford the splurge.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Who said pretty Valentine’s Day thoughts had to be in pink hues? I daresay, not I! There’s nothing like jewelry, wine, dinner, cake, flowers, mood lighting, a Valentine’s day card and some quality time to make the holiday ever so splendid. Over-the-top much? A girl can dream, can’t she? Here’s to Cupid!
