summerlove & weddings

I might be a little bit too young, but I'm sooo inspired by all these weddings around me now, maybe it's the summer-feeling and all. Love is in the air...well, not my air, but... anyway
, I found this website with weddinginspiration and DIY!
love it!!

here's some of my favourite pictures, that I will save...
I think I'll might do severl posts on this theme, cause there are just too many nice pictures!



what will your wedding look like?

pictures from the wedding in Barcelona

some more pictures from the wedding:

so after the wedding we went back to the house, for some dinner, party & dancing..here's Laura - the bride..there were loads of snacks & tapas, but i wasn't so hungry in the heat

people, mingle

the bridecouple's table

then we had dinner, under the shades of the trees...it looked like in Tuscany

there was no wedding-cake, but plates with brownies and carrot-cake for each table

and baskets with cherries :)
and there was a table with glassjars filled with candy and cookies, cheescake and beside the table, an ice-cream bar with delicious spanish ice-cream with flavours like, lemon-sorbet, mango-sorbet, cheescake and vanilla/cookie

then dancing & spanish songs

then the couple held a speach. Laura showed us the first flower she ever got from Unai (she was planning to have it as a wedding-bouqet), a soft sunflower...then they threw out small bags with sunflowerseeds, to everybody to chew on..

we took a choir-picture

the ice-cream, a bit melted, the day after

buffé

I'm so hungry! I love food,
I'd love to have a buffé right now...
or invitations to several weddings, with buffés and free drinks!! mmmm

pictures from the wedding

i think I'll have to do several posts , with some pictures from the wedding, there are so many pictures..
but here's a few:

the beautiful camphouse where we lived for 2 days

beautiful view from my window

laura had asked people to do a star, blue or white, and then we hung them up so we could "dance under the stars"

the ceremony

some of Lauras friends brought a big basket with hundreds of these little golden bags, filled with ecological seeds to throw after the ceremony instead of rice, so that the little birds don't get really bad stomachs when they eat it afterwards...

throwing!

more photos on my facebook

a casa

i havent eaten proper food since saturday and i woke up at 05.40 this morning so I'm a bit mashed at the moment..

barcelona

this is where we'll sleep and celebrate :)

this might be the last post for a couple of days..
tonight I'm finally off to the wedding in Barcelona, and I'll be bakc home on Tuesday, around noon I think..so..until then, adios amigos! have a beautiful weekend, and check back here next week!!

kissses & love & a wish for cookies

apples

so here's the kitchentowel i made for Laura & Unai, the weddingcouple..
I already gave them the real wedding-gift so this is just something to bring with me for the actual party...i got inspired by this blog, and printed with apples..
then i embroidered "laura y unai para siempre, 26 junio 2010" which means "laura and Unai forever, 26 Juni 2010) which is the date they are getting married, yey!

yeah, it kind of looks like something a 4year old did, but whatever!!

midsummernights dream

last preparations until I'm off to Barcelona and the wedding!
The zebra-dress is finally finished, I even decided which necklace ..(the 5th picture)..black and gold..
i just cant decide which bracelets to wear to it, i have to many matching ones..
and without earrings looks so empty, but with earrings might be to much, and rings? should I wearings? what a misery!!!but ill be fine

this weekend is Midsummer, a Swedish (Scandinavian maybe) tradition/holiday (atleast the way we celebrate it)..I guess what we are celebrating is..the summer? i don't think anybody really knows, but it's nice...we eat some traditional midsummer-food, drink alcohol, kids (and some adults) go dancing around a big pole (hmmm) wrapped in flowers and plants..and alot of people are watching, listening to the swedish folk-music....and it always rains :/

oh, and also, young ladies should go out at night, pick 7 different kinds of flowers (and jump 7 different fences), put the flowers underneath their pillow, and they will dream about their future husband! how romantic :)

when me and Lotten have our countryside house in the south of europe, we will have a big, nice midsummer-feast for friends & loved ones..with strawberry-cake

apples & wedding-gifts

oh my bloging is so unevenly updated!!
it keeps coming in waves (nothing during daytime, everything during night)
but it's just that the internet isn't very available for me during daytime,
and sometimes I'm just out of inspiration,
but then, nights like these, it just keeps flowing

I hope it's ok...anyway, I don't think I have that many readers, and if you do read my blog frequently, sorry & thankyou for still reading!

I have an idea of what to do tomorrow..
I'll go around some 2handshops looking for nice kitchentowels (or if it's nice weather , I might take the bike to IKEA to get some...well, it's quite "far away"..maybe not)
I already gave Laura & Unai (the spanish bride & groom-to be) a wedding-gift when I visited them in Barcelona in April ( a beautiful blue handmade ceramic-jar from taizé,france)..but, I saw these nice handprinted kitchentowels in a swedish blog, and got inspired. Maybe I'll do something like that, with their names & weddingdate on them...maybe maybe..we'll see what happens tomorrow..
goodnight for now,please give me some feedback, comments, questions, critics, or just a hello..it would make me happy!!

romantique francaise

Oh I'm such a nightperson, as usual, I'm up (it's 2.30 and I'm not in bed) late, finding new inspiring blogs & websites..
I've been thinking about weddings alot lately, probably because our crownprincess got married a couple of days ago (which ofcourse has been THE THING in media the last year) and also because I'm going to Barcelona for a friends wedding this coming weekend! I can't wait!! It will be one of the most beautiful weddings ever (i know i keep nagging about it, but it will just be so amazing!!)..when we talked about these people who don't really do anything personal for their weddings, you know, the usual wedding-cake, wedding-dress, dinner etc. etc..she said:

"well, when people celebrate their birthdays, they do different things, som people like to have a big party, some people stay at home, some people go out with friends...so why shouldn't the wedding be the same, do what YOU want to do, this day is all about you and the one you love"

yes yes, very true!
I just found a campaign from IKEA, where they are advertising their products in loads of different styles, it's called "party in cottage & castle", and I just fell in love with the romantic french-style wedding. (they also had a ocmpetition where , if you popped the big question, to the one you love, on facebook, you could win your wedding, with this french romantic style)
this is exactly what inspires me for my wedding...whenever that will be:

kiss & make up

I'm watching makeup-tutorials on youtube! haha
to get some inspiration for the wedding
I'm not a big makeup-user, well, I do use makeup everyday and I dont often go out without makeup, but usually people dont really think I'm wearing make-up, cause I lie it to look as natural as possible..I use the same makeup everyday, but for the wedding it would be nice to have something different..
I definately need more things to work with, but honestly I don't love spending money on make-up..it's quite boring for me..
I wish Amanda could come and help me out, she's the bomb at doing cool makeups!!

doves, swallows & other birds

look at this beautiful little bobby pin I found on etsy..
it would be nice to have in the hair at the wedding..
but I think I will go with the butterflies I already bought, and do something inspired by this beautiful picture from flickr:

hair-inspiration

only 8 days to go!! then i will attend the most beautiful wedding I will ever attend (except from my own of course)..it's in barcelona
I'm almost sure of what I will wear! BUT the hair..I'm thinking some hair-do as it will be about 35 degrees (celsius) and sweatingly hot!..but something simple, not to strict..i love braids..and I bought these beautiful butterflies to put in the hair..
here's some inspiration for myself:

etno-dress

ok, so..do you remember the dress I made that I'm supposed to wear at the wedding...
well, I really like that one, but I'm making a new one aswell that I was supposed to sell in the shop, but I'm falling in love with it...this one is more african-boho-inspired I guess..and the other one is zebra-print..they would both be faboulous with big necklaces, and I just can't choose

here's the one I'm making at the moment


which one do you think I should wear at the wedding, which one is more wedding-style? (keep in mind that it's not really a snobbish uptight wedding i'm going to, but a spanish country-side-wedding with laidback people)

which necklace for the wedding?!

alright, i decided not to have any ribbon at all but just a big necklace..

I had 3 options first but when i went looking in my jewelry-box i found more and more, and i have some favourites, but I'm not sure..
which one do you think?

please comment!!

I NEED YOUR HELP!!

hey guys!
So I'm almost finished with the dress I'm gonna wear to the wedding I'm going to in Barcelona by the end of this month..atleast this is the evening-dress, I might go for a shorter one for the church..we'll see

anyhow! I need your help!
I'm sewing this long chiffondress with zebraprint. It's quite bohemic and I'm gonna were some wooden jewelry to it..
but i can't decide which ribbon to use for the neck...

• either a black, braided one, which is more classic
• or a wooden-necklace with beads, which i would attach to the dress

or maybe i shouldn't have one at all, but I don't think that's an option..or? maybe with a big woodenbead-necklace...aah, which one?!
