Share Those Snapshots

This year, McKenzie and I have gone to Denver, Chicago, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Antigua, and NYC, and while on our trips, we Instagram… a lot. As we get ready to board our flight back to Houston, we’ll send each other all of the pictures from our phones (normally around 15). This is… well, slow – to say the least. I recently read about Capsule on 100 Layer Cake. It’s a brilliant idea. And it’s simple. You create an account, an event and then you get a “join code,” which you share with anyone else with whom you want to share pictures. When you Instagram the pictures, you use this code in the hashtag, and the pictures are automatically added to the joint folder, which you are able to access on the free CapsuleCam app (or on Instagram). From CapsuleCam, you can download pictures that others have added that you like. Voilà, the perfect travel (or event) photo share solution!

Oh well, there’s always a next time!

Snack Bar Boxes

Snack bars at weddings are pretty standard issue nowadays. However, I normally see the goodies being shuffled onto plates or into little clear plastic bags. I was so pleased when I saw these cupcake-to-go boxes on The Sweetest Occassion. Isn’t that a great idea? I think that the yellow chevron tablecloth was the icing on the {cup}cake!

Unrelated to snack bar boxes, but amazing nonetheless: these confetti invites. Aren’t they gorgeous?

Nautical Fall

I was in Austin last week, NYC over the weekend, and going to Chicago in a few days, yet I cannot shake this feeling of wanderlust. In my morning daydream state, I remembered one of my favorite Mark Twain quotes: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

I’m in a very nautical mood, which is appropriate given that I’d love to be spending my early fall months somewhere like the Hamptons or Nantucket. See inspiration below.

 

 

And last, but not least: Sarah Vickers of Classy Girls Wear Pearls. You simply cannot do a nautical post without mentioning her.
