Soft & feminine metallics

Metallics have become our favorite neutral. By now, you've probably gathered that we have a healthy fixation with gold, but we've developed a HUGE crush on gold's super hip, feminine sister, Rose. It's EVERYWHERE...

Do you love it as much as we do?! Well today's purseday pick is a rose gold beauty from designer, Vince Camuto. There is so much to adore about this bag... the pleats, the gold hardware, the cross-body style...

What do you think?

Feeling Woodsy

Seeing as it fully Fall here in Boston, we decided to dive into some Fall inspiration again this week for Wedding Wednesday! And we're loving it. Muted hues, woodsy textures, whimsical, dreamy-like loveliness. We think that the forest-elegance vibe is still shamelessly classy even when you're wedding in the woods! If you're thinking about going this route for your special day, stick with neutrals and muted hues to blend your decor with your venue. Matching is a happy thing. Also, don't be afraid to try out new things like a flower crown or naked cake. If you haven't had naked cake yet, then, well, get on it! Can cake really let you down?

What a weekend!

Wow, that was quite a weekend!! Just in time for all of the fall festiveness, the Mr. and I attended a beautiful wedding on Saturday night. I've heard that the first wedding after your own is the most fun, and in many ways I agree. To simply enjoy someone else's celebration- their making of a covenant & the ear to ear smiles to follow- it was an incredible night of dancing & merriment! Of course, it helps to not have any responsibilities or stress about things going according to plan. :) Have you experienced this before? Anyway, we're kicking off a fabulously busy week in the Paper Moss office and you better believe that good music {and coffee} will be fueling us. While shopping on Etsy for a gift the other day, I ran across these beautiful prints... all displaying lines & phrases from songs. If you're a music lover like myself, there's a good chance you'll find one {or more} that you can't live without!! Check out Lyrical Artworks for prints from some amazing artists!

Weekend Inspiration

How is it already Friday?! This week totally flew by and I'm not sure about you, but my list of to-do's for the weekend is only getting longer. Here are some of the fun things on my radar... if your weekend is open, may you be inspired to join in some of these festive activities!

Make the swap

After being away for a few weeks, the Mr and I realized that we're past due to put away our summer clothes. Are you in the same boat? It's high time to pack up those sundresses and sandals and take inventory of cold weather clothes... and hopefully plan a shopping trip?! My fingers are crossed :)

Slow cook it

I just busted open our new slow cooker {thanks, Eddy!!} and couldn't be more excited to try it out. First on the agenda: White Bean Chicken Chili. Yes, I've been dying to try this recipe that I spotted over on the adorable blog, Domesticate Me and just got all of the ingredients to make it happen this weekend! Are there any other slow cooker recipes I must try?!

Pick your pumpkin

This year I'm extra excited to get in the festive spirit and in my book, this all starts with sipping cider and decorating pumpkins. If I'm being honest, I'm already feeling overly ambitious for the weekend so if I don't make it to the decoration stage, it's OK. I suppose I could be satisfied with locking down a trip to the pumpkin patch! Do you have plans to decorate yet?

Happy weekending!

Add some spice

Happy Wedding Wednesday!! Today we wanted to share some easy & super cute ideas to add some spice to your fall wedding. From distinctly fall flowers to blanket baskets for guests to keep warm, there are so many fun options! One of our faves however, are these DIY mini-pie favors {top right}. If you love them as much as we do, check out the "how to" over at On a Sweet Note, complete with the info to buy those adorable little boxes!

Married!

I'm BACK, I'm a Mrs. and I couldn't be more excited!! I can't wait to share more details about the wedding and the adventures of the honeymoon... but for today while I'm beaming and giddy to be back, I must play catch up!

I hope you all have been well! I've missed you!!!

The flavors of fall

There's nothing like the smell of fall flavors to get us pumped up for the season. It takes the edge off the impending extreme weather that winter holds and in my opinion, enhances every bright leaf and crisp day. Days are about to be filled with sipping on apple cider, burning pumpkin pie scented candles and being cuddled in warm sweaters! One recipe I've been waiting to try until fall officially arrived, is this Vanilla Pear Cocktail that I spotted over on Two Tarts. Let's whip one of these up and toast to the start of the season!

Have a lovely weekend!

Pretty Paper: Geordan & Rich

Geordan & Rich got married at Jonathan Edwards Winery in Connecticut and wanted their wedding to have a rustic, elegant feel. We set the tone for their big day by merging different patterns, textures and a mix of fonts to create a playful yet formal letterpress invitation suite. Top it off with calligraphy from the super talented Kristen Henderson, along with custom postage stamps and this suite has become one of our all time favorites!

Coffee Talk

One thing I miss dearly about living in Seattle is the coffee culture. There is nothing like kicking off the week with the smell of roasted beans & some strong brew. The totally nerdy side of me loves this artsy photo showing the different stages of coffee. I figured it's only appropriate for a Monday. :)

Have a fabulous start to your week!

Weekend Inspiration

It's been an exciting week and I hope yours has been equally as wonderful as mine! This weekend, let's be 100% devoted to finding inspiration through relaxing and re-charging, shall we?

Turn up those tunes

Make a new playlist or Spotify station with songs that inspire and relax. I don't know about you, but whenever I carve out time to just chill and listen to music, I feel all sorts of refreshed. And obviously I advocate for this to be done while sipping coffee... or tea if that's your thing. :)

Wander

Go for a walk and try to make it during sunrise or sunset to see the world illuminated in a light that we rarely make time to appreciate. It even SOUNDS refreshing, don't you think? Just do it, you know you want to!

Take in a nice view

In my case, it will be something beachy but wherever you're at whether surrounded by mountains, a lake or in the middle of a booming city, seek out a beautiful spot and spend some time in silence. No looking at instagram or Facebook, OK? Just breathe and relax...

Happy weekending!

A beaded beauty

The Mr. and I have been surrounded by warm air and white sand for a few days now and  I'm loving the laid back look of tropical style. This beaded clutch caught my eye awhile ago and would be the perfect way to accessorize an outfit- casual or formal! Isn't this pattern so fun?!

Sadly I'm not rocking this exact purse, however it's been fun pulling out some of my beachy & warm weather handbags to sport while honeymooning! Happy Purseday!

Vendor Crush: The First Snow

Yep, we've had another vendor crush and I think you'll feel the same! I first laid eyes on one of the beautiful creations by The First Snow when I saw this feature on Wedding Chicks. For obvious reasons, I fell in love with this gold foil print of the couples vows:

Adorable, right!? Another Etsy SCORE! As I peeked around their shop, I stumbled upon cuteness ranging from these "Will you be my bridesmaid" cards:

To customizable cake toppers or cute generic ones:

And fun framable art like this beautiful quote by J.R.R. Tolkien:

Which is your favorite? I hope you're equally inspired by The First Snow as we are!!

Tropical geometry

Though the first day of autumn hit us on Sunday, I'm submersed in tropical weather & therefore am making an excuse for one last super sassy pair of sandals for our Shoesday pick today. I just love the funky leather pattern on these heels!

 {via}

And it's pure coincidence that I sumbeled upon this geometric pink, stair rail in St. Lucia! A match made in heaven!

Happy Tuesday Shoesday!

Leaving on a jet plane

Welp, I'm officially Mrs. Berglund now!!! The weekend flew by in all of its beauty and the Mr. and I are now headed off for some much needed relaxation in St. Lucia. For me, traveling brings inspiration unlike anything else. PLUS, I've never been anywhere tropical but this is what's waiting for us on the other side.

{clockwise from top left: via; via; via; via}

I can't wait to explore the island, go hiking, eat lots of delicious food {that someone else makes} and get some quality time with Dan. I'll give a full report of the resorts we're staying at once we return. :)

It's time to celebrate

Well friends, today kicks off wedding weekend for Dan and I! We're a little jet lagged but we are getting so pumped for our a weekend of celebrating with close friends and family. I can hardly believe it's already here!! Whatever you're up to this weekend, join in our celebration by popping some bubbly!

 I think champagne is like liquid glitter- it makes everything just a touch more fun! Happy weekending!
