{Vintage Inspiration} It's in the Details: Doilies

So I know there are some doily lovers out there, but when most of you think of a doily you probably think of your grandmother's house or of a bad homemade valentine.  Well, the vintage wedding trend has breathed new life into the doily, and I for one am really liking the fresh take on them and all of the fun ways to use them.

What do you think of doilies?  Vintage chic or too "grandma's living room"?  If you are a fan, check out this DIY doily table runner post I did here, and this DIY doily valentine post I did here.  If you have a doily DIY project, email it to me and I'll feature it.

Real Wedding: Houston, Texas

Last August we featured a blog post on our first world map that was created for a couple soon-to-be-wed in Houston, Texas. We are so pleased to have received photos of the wedding from their photographer, Clint, and to see that the wedding was included in The Knot Texas!

In our original post we mentioned that we also created table signs featuring the locations of the map and are so exciting to share them today!

The couple also used compass place cards to keep in line with the travel theme...

...and had us create this adorable card box and sign for their gift table!

Finally were the cupcake signs at the dessert table - very sweet!

All calligraphy was done in brown ink in our Carpenter script (except the gift sign which was white ink on brown paper).

See more on The Knot spread on Clint's blog.
