</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's been nearly a year since I stopped posting on Notable Inspiration to prep for my new adventure, and it's finally (almost!) here! Coming November 1st, 2011 is <a href="http://studiodiy.com/">Studio DIY</a>, a new comprehensive resource for handmade and personalized events! This new curated blog will help brides and party hosts alike craft every event from weddings and baby showers to birthday parties and holiday celebrations with real wedding features, DIY projects, recipes, printables and of course handmade finds and inspiration. Three hand-picked vendor guides will connect you with crafters, craft suppliers and one-of-a-kind crafted gifts and the local events calendar will allow you to interact with other creatives in your community.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Before November 1st rolls around, if you are interested in contributing to <a href="http://studiodiy.com/">Studio DIY</a> or if you are an Etsy (or other) handmade vendor, send along an email to hello{at}studiodiy{dot}com to find out how you can be a part of this new venture! (There's even a free listing option in the vendor guides!) I'm thrilled to announce this venture and looking forward to inspiring, creating and celebrating with you all!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Knock knock. Who's there? Clearly, it's not me! It's been quite awhile since I've blogged and, well, its probably time for a little explanation, huh? Well, I can now say that I am officially a college graduate (WOOHOO!) and that my ability to say that is the main reason why the blogging has been MIA these past couple of months! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now, for the good news. I will be blogging again in the new year! However, I have a few {very super duper awesome} things up my sleeve and Notable Inspiration will be getting moving, changing and expanding. Unfortunately that's all I can say right now and you'll just have to wait a <i>little</i> longer to find out all the fun, new, {hint: crafty} details! In the meantime, you can follow along with a little inspiration on my new favorite inspiration tool, <a href="http://pinterest.com/kellylanza/">Pinterest</a>. Of course, there's always <a href="http://twitter.com/kellylanza">Twitter</a> too! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I want to send a shout-out to all of you that have continued to check in here on Notable despite my short term disappearance. Happy, Happy New Year to everyone, and be sure to head on back for more updates in 2011!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

HA-LE-LU-JAH! And, more recently, Marchesa has developed a new bridal collection that is seriously to die for. My Vera picks are perfect for getting that jaw to drop as you walk down the aisle, and Marchesa provides something a bit more fun and flirty for dancing! Which one is your fave?<br />

And I am still in awe. Jack Zylkin has turned those awesome vintage typewriters we see in so many wedding shoots lately, into totally function keyboards for your computer or iPad! I am head over heels for his idea of mixing two completely different generations into one awesome product. Holy cow! It is quite the splurge to buy an already converted typewriter, but he also offers converter kits if you or your beau are the DIY techy type! If you can afford to drop the time or cash, what an interesting guestbook this would make! The perfect compromise if you love your vintage finds and your fiance loves anything technological. Sound familiar, anyone?<br />

Not the feathers, just that awesome blue color. Aside from it being the perfect color for my future dining room walls, it makes a great base for a wedding, especially when paired with a magenta or raspberry pink (a.k.a. my future dining room chairs) and maybe a little green too. I felt a little whimsical when creating this palette, the flower wands, mismatched tags and those oh so awesome flower books for centerpieces! I love the idea of a colored crinoline peaking out from under a bride's dress, don't you? And those little dollops of heaven in the bottom right corner? Key lime white chocolate clouds. Mhmm, I think dessert is calling my name!<br />

</div>Short and sweet today... I pretty much would <i>love</i> to see this turned into a wedding. Long neutral tables with wooden chairs and glass jars filled with billy balls. Silhouettes (perhaps of the couple at all different ages) for table numbers and a menagerie of vintage lamps and lanterns hanging from above. Alongside your guestbook, present a collection of old family photos and even fun artwork from your school days in mismatched frames for guests to enjoy. Casual, vintage perfection... can you picture it?! Because I sure can! Have a fantastic and beautiful weekend!<div><br />

Today's palette combines punches of pumpkin and pops of another great fall hue... eggplant. I about flipped when I saw the pumpkin as a soup bowl idea in my Martha wedding emails! How awesomely October, no? Long tables with burlap runners, loads of candles and purple hued flowers... perhaps a few mini pumpkins in there too! Vintage sodas in perfect season colors and garlands of leaves to frame a photobooth. For favors? I would love to see mini pumpkins with simple pumpkin carving kits.. how fun is that!?<br />

Ever have one of those weeks... ok, months... where you barely have time to eat, sleep and blog? Yep, thought so. I am currently the lucky recipient of one of those dreaded times so consider this a short little break while I choose eating (chocolate) and sleeping (sometimes) as my priorities. I'll be back ASAP (hopefully towards the end o this week!). In the meantime, check out <a href="http://notableinspiration.tumblr.com/">Notable's Inspiration</a> where I'll be updating in the meantime with a little inspiration to get you all through your busy days!<br />

They make a great backdrop for a dessert table, perfect eye-lifting centerpiece accents, fun photo props and just great motifs overall! I always love when weddings stay fun, friendly and down-to-earth and balloons provide the perfect accompaniment!<br />

And for those of you die hard country fans out there, there's nothing wrong with a boot scootin' boogie kinda wedding! I've suggested cowboy boots as wedding shoe-wear many a time, and this is certainly an appropriate one. Cover bails of hay in burlap for ceremony seating and use wildflowers for your bouquets. Of course, a reception in a barn is perfecto, and wouldn't it be a dream to have a country band to serenade you? Mason jars for drinks too, don't forget! And, if you want to take the country feel to it's highest level, choose horseshoes for place cards or cowboy hats for favors (fun!). Too much for your big day? Have an all-western rehearsal dinner instead!<br />

Isn't that black & white chevron flower girl dress to die for!? Mix up bold stripes, houndstooth and anything else eye-popping for your vases. Or, just buy plain white ones and paint your own patterns on them! Since we're prepping for fall, I thought this wedding was perfect for a slight apple motif, perhaps in your centerpieces, or just as your place cards and cake topper. Don't forget bright red flowers and modern cupcake toppers to seal the deal! (Yes, I did suggest a cake topper <i>and</i> cupcake toppers... there's nothing wrong with both!)<br />

Not your traditional wreath, and certainly not a typical wedding item... I had to do a post on these as a great option for a shower gift or even a little something extra on the doors of your ceremony or reception site! I'm head over heels for the striped ones and the colors are almost too much for me to handle! They are just so fantastic! A little eye candy for your door!<br />

Largely due to the fact that my cousin is engaged as of yesterday (Insert screams and squeals here!) and, well, she has a bit of an obsession with pink! So, low and behold... a modern pink and gray wedding. J. Crew came through with an wow-oh-wow gray bridesmaid dress (Aren't you in love with it??). Pretty pink peonies or carnations with gray linens, and little pops of hot pink... like in straws for mini milkshakes, or decor for your dessert bar. I love the simple DIY-style chair accent... how easy and cute would that be for an extra little touch!? A touch of romance and a whole lot of modern, perfect for any season, no? Love!<br />

A whole lot of <a href="http://notableinspiration.blogspot.com/search/label/Book%20Inspired%20Wedding">literary inspiration</a> (Which one was your favorite!?) and a little bit (Ok, more like a lot) of awesomeness with <a href="http://bit.ly/cNryky">my guest blog post</a> for the Etsy blog!

Through the Renegade Craft Fair, I was able to meet a few of the people at my all-time favorite, most admired company... Etsy! And, I have been lucky enough to be asked to do a blog post for, yes, the Etsy blog!!!! (Insert squeal here.) Since I love working on my all-Etsy weddings for Notable, it was only fitting to do two very special ones for Etsy, and winter wedding-ers you are in luck.... I've brought two totally different and unique winter palettes to play with! SO, you better head on over to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/spotlight/handmade-weddings-dreaming-of-winter-10253/">Etsy</a> to check out my little piece of pride and joy. Oh yeah, I'm just a <i>little</i> ecstatic.. can't you tell? Huge thanks to the awesome folks at Etsy and I hope you all enjoy it!!<br />

And while most turn to Pride & Prejudice or something of that fantastic sort... I wanted to take a little turn toward the darker, gothic era with this one. Enter <i>Jane Eyre. </i>Such a dynamic, twisted classic that, well, doesn't really scream <i>wedding<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">, but certainly makes a beautiful one if you're willing to take the risk.</span> </i>Think romantic tea party with a dark side. And, luckily, I could count on my trusted <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> vendors to provide the rest...<br />
<br />

Dark charcoals and deep roses with a hint of victorian lace and that green you only picture when you envision this distinct era. I have no problem seeing a bouquet of delicate dried flowers (This can be done with appropriate treatment!), or at least dried petals for the flower girl to throw. Antiqued gold jewelry and lace cuffs complement a stunning and functional cape for those winter weddings! Perhaps a little monogram green cufflinks for the men?<br />

I would forgo fresh flowers for dried petals and brass and golden vessels of all sorts. Long tables strung with these mismatched containers and non-traditional florals atop dark hued runners would be oh so perfect for the mood that the attire has already set. Purchase a handmade leather journal for your guest book and provide primrose-infused soap for favors.<br />

Yes, as many of you know... it is that good. Now, I don't <i>love</i> the movie, but the all-white room in that house makes me want to <i>cry</i> with happiness. Gorgeous, glamorous... it pretty much brought my visions of the book to life. That said, if you are looking told an all white wedding with a little 1920s inspiration, please oh please take your cue from this eloquent book. I've added a little extra glamour, and, of course, I've found a few things on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> to start you off...<br />

Now... you can't tell me that doesn't bring back fond memories? If you're liked me you loved all things Madeline (Hey, I even had a fantastic Madeline themed birthday one year!) and, if you've been hanging around Notable for awhile, you'll know I am an advocate for keeping your childhood loves alive and kicking long past those years of innocence. Madeline's mix of youthfulness and innocence against a backdrop of Parisian romance makes quite the jumping off point for a wedding... and here we go!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">An ivy covered backdrop for your nuptials or an ivy covered trellis above your reception would really bring in that classic, beautiful aspect we all know and love about the books. Attach a found objection (all different, of course) to each place card along with a Madeline-esque bow and hang them on string or tacked to a bulletin board for a fun and vintagey place card display. Place eye-popping yellow arrangements down the center of long tables (in two straight lines...), with mismatched China, as if you had just robbed a French bistro.
