Today, I’ve got my apron on and will be spending the day in the kitchen with my family. I hope you are looking forward to your holiday plans! Here’s a little inspiration to get you excited for tomorrow!

I hope you are as excited as I am about Thanksgiving this Thursday! Bryan and I have a long list of dinners and brunches to attend and for the first time ever, I’m hosting my very own, very small, Thanksgiving dinner. I’ve been on the hunt for a little Thanksgiving inspiration, so we’ll be sharing some of our favorite finds with you this week! First up today is this rustic Thanksgiving shoot with florals and styling by Honey and Poppies, heirloom place settings and food styling by Casa de Perrin, and photography by Braedon Flynn. This shoot was originally featured over on Design Sponge, however we’ve got lots of extra images to share with you to get you inspired!

To get us in the holiday spirit, I’d love for you to share one of your favorite Thanksgiving traditions or even your favorite dish you look most forward to! I’d say for me, my favorite part about Thanksgiving is spending the entire day in the kitchen with my mom, sisters, and brother-in-law, Taylor, who cooks up a storm. There’s something about cooking and great conversation that goes so well together! And I know it might sound silly, but I always really look forward to homemade cranberry sauce! Mmmm…

Honey and Poppies  :  design and florals (which included lots of vintage mixed metal vessels filled with foraged leaves along with dahlias, roses, and berries, a hanging installation of crabapple branches, mini bouquets for the placecards, and a mantle styled with many types of pumpkins and squash) // J and R Foods: menu design and cooking // Casa de Perrin:  heirloom placesettings and food styling // Found Vintage Rentals: design and furniture // Pitbulls and Posies:  lasercut paper goods based on the idea of a modernized deconstructed quilt // Braedon Flynn:  photography // Carondelet House:  location // Dovetail:  coordination

Argyle. It’s at the heart of ever preppy closet. Can you even imagine throwing an argyle cardi and belt over your bridesmaids’ yellow dresses? Would you dare??? I know I would. It’s positively screaming fall prep! And how about a little washi tape to dress up those invites and these yellow bouquets from Martha Stewart Weddings? The loveliest little bit to send you off for the weekend!

Last week we had the chance to feature a headpiece by Jannie Baltzer. But one image just wasn’t enough! Today, I wanted to share with you more of these beautiful couture headpieces, all shot by photographer Alicia Swedenborg with styling by Elizabeth Wurtz From Pretty Chic Blog. It’s all so lovely!!! You can see more of the images here and you can purchase your own Jannie Baltzer piece here.

Hey ladies! As we head out into the weekend, I thought I’d leave you with a few little pretties to go check out. First off, did you see Molly Sims’ gorgeous wedding images that came out last week? Love. I also can’t get enough of the flowers by Kat Flower, which were featured over on the lovely Bride’s Cafe and shot by KT Merry. Oh..and did you see the “Hello Kiddo” tote featured on Martha Stewart? I love the idea!

Lastly, if you didn’t see the feature Snippet and Ink put together on Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman, you must go! Kathryn shares the truth about why we really love weddings, and I couldn’t agree more. Growing old together will be the best part, no?
