not just for weddings anymore.
i’ve become kind of addicted to once wed. i seriously cannot get over the creativity and thoughtfulness that goes into some of the weddings they showcase. almost makes me want to plan a wedding (oh, snap, i gotta find that boyfriend, first!). anyhow, i digress. i couldn’t help but share some of the beautiful table arrangements and party decor diy ideas i’ve soaked up from once wed. yes, indeed, i do!
paper parasols and lanterns from chinatown make great party decorations.
doilies make lovely serving tray liners, and lace is great photo backdrop for any occasion.
i love these bulbs strung in the trees, decorating an outdoor dinner party.
pancake breakfast seating flags.
fresh daisy and gingham garland.
love these turquoise blue mason jars filled with fresh wild flowers.
sand votives makes a simple table setting, and adorable chopstick napkin place settings.
this rock candy garland is sheer brilliance.
what a fun dinner party menu wheel!
mason jar chandelier and pretty paper garlands.
I share your once wed love! All the weddings seem so personal, heart filled and, of course, beautiful.Exactly how a wedding should be :)

Once Wed is just an overload of all things pretty. Usually I don’t “do” wedding sites, mainly because I don’t want to freak my boyfriend out. But I gave into Once Wed — I mean, how could I not?
they are by far my favorite wedding website. there’s something so elegant yet cozy about all the weddings they share.
Was just looking at that bottom fringe photo at Ashley Meaders site (which is a total time suck for me these days…)
love, love, love!
Oh, thank you so much! What a wonderful surprise it was to open my reader and see a post about once wed from sfgirlbybay. So flattered to hear you guys enjoy reading the site:)
These are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Now I wish I had a pretty back yard to decorate!
I love this post! Like you, I need the boyfriend before I can start planning the wedding – dammit, but that doesn’t stop me delighting in some of these ideas :-)
I love once wed, too, it continually inspires me, especially with their styling ideas!
If Once Wed was a place and I could live there, I’d move tomorrow.
That chandelier is amazing! I’d quite like it in a big country style kitchen.
How could anyone not love Once Wed? I think I browsed through at least a hundred weddings while I was planning mine, and I still keep going back to read/be inspired.
Gorgeous collection – almost makes me want to have a wedding too. Did you see these ones – I love how they chronicle the entire day from start to finish http://joshgoleman.com/2009/05/adam-and-hallis-weddding/
What a lovely collection of photos. Love the airy colors and ideas presented here and on the Once Wed blog.
i love these sweet photos and the idea of flower seeds as party favors.. or the pancakes! maybe because im starving, or just cuz i’m a huge brunch freak, but i almost love the idea of a brunch wedding. ha!

So much inspiration and so many lovely ideas!
i’m right there with ya. i can’t get enough of once wed. the wedding blogs are a slippery slope of loveliness.
Oh. my. god. My heart is aflutter. I love, love all things that have to do with weddings…especially prettiness like that :)
Well, I wanted to stop by and let you know that I’m hosting a really great giveaway on my page, just in case you wanted to enter!

I too am a Once Wed stalker…with no wedding bells in the near future! I’m long wed and my daughters are only teenagers… However I like to borrow the ideas for birthday celebrations, tablescapes and decorating.
B-b-but it doesn’t have to be for a wedding. Get together some friends and just have a garland-clad party. Doesn’t matter why. Weddings are stressy. Parties are fun.
I love you blog and I love every single post you do…and this one…well…it makes me want to get married again :-)
I am OBSESSED with Once Wed, and I’m not even engaged either! I love that place like you wouldn’t believe. I guess I’m sorta close to being engaged (I would like to think, after 6 years of dating!) but we still have a few years to go. I look at this site everyday, which is probably dangerous seeing that by the time he proposes I’ll already have our wedding planned! :)
I’m already planning my second wedding (to the same man, of course!). There are just too many beautiful things I would like to try!
Some of these ideas are so perfect for our upcoming wedding. Thanks for posting. :)
I was definitely a once wed fan before I was engaged, even more of a fan now that I am engaged, and still plan to be one after the wedding {you can totally get inspired for a great party too}! Except I should maybe stop right now because I keep getting so many good ideas, and I can’t choose! But I won’t…:)
