I love fall! I look forward to it every year and in Seattle you have to cherish every crisp day. This wedding embodies everything that is perfect about fall.

Ice cream spoon wedding favors

I know I’ve said I’m obsessed with gelato this summer, which I am. My sister sent me these super cute wooden utensils from Paper + Cup and I noticed they have a customized ice cream spoon! This just makes me even more excited about having a gelato stand at a wedding. How cute to offer your guests a scoop of fresh gelato with a customized spoon to remember your wedding. The utensil set would be great favors as well or darling for a shower.

Natural Amber Potpourri

This natural amber potpourri would make wonderful bridesmaids gifts. I got some last year and it still is filling my bedroom with amber yumminess!

It’s actually tree sap that’s then infused with vanilla and amber. Truly amazing!

If you’re local, grab some at the wonderfully indulgent Essenza, or online at Zanisa.

Pop up Placemats

I love these Pop Up Placemats!! Great for an engagement party, rehearsal dinner or even small sit down reception dinner, they even have a built in seating card. They are made out of recycled paper and can go right into your compost pile when you’re finished.

Life at the beach

The ocean is continually inspiring. The sound of waves crashing on the shore fills me with joy, calms my spirit and grounds me. It truly is the ultimate “eco-chic” wedding destination as no one can set the tone for romance better than Mother Nature. Here are a few beach inspired photos to get you in the mood.

This wedding was so spectacular I had to show more than just one shot. I LOVE the dress and the muted colors inspired from the sea. Check out all the pics at Leigh Millers blog.

I’ll leave you with this shot. Michele saw the sofa on the beach on her way to meet up with the couple. She rushed to pick them up in hopes the red sofa hadn’t been moved. Sometimes the photo gods are on your side.
