Is it just me or does that weird song, "Gangnam Style" make you think of gingham? Okay yeah it's probably just me. But anyway, here's some gingham wedding inspiration! I love how preppy the print is and it's just so perfect for a summer wedding!! Makes me kind of crave some fresh squeezed lemonade + some jam on toast... anyone else??

{Organic Wednesday} Wedding Attire - Bowties

Laura Plouzek, of XOELLE makes everything with love <3

She loves finding items that are unloved, forgotten, discarded, and sometimes abused, and re-purposing them. All the history and sentiment they retain make the bow ties have character. Her eco-friendly items are made by hand using her own original designs and recycled/repurposed materials. You can tell that Laura loves what she does!! The bow ties cost around $35 plus shipping for men's sizes and pint-sized (recommended for kiddos from newborn through 4. For kiddos older than 4 she recommend the adult size bow). Laura is always finding new materials and happy to help find the perfect color for your needs. To see more of her collection click on the following links:

{Bright Idea Thursday} Plaid-Checkers-Gingham-Stripes

What is the difference between plaid, gingham and checkered?

And what is a Tartan?

Well, we must refer to Wikipedia on this one : )

Plaid (pattern) is also used as a synonym for tartan or, in the USA, any checked cloth pattern.
Gingham is a medium-weight balanced plain-woven fabric made from dyed cotton or cotton-blend yarn.^[1]The name originates from an adjective in the Malay language, ging-gang, meaning striped.^[2]
A check is a pattern consisting of crossed horizontal and vertical bands in two or more colors in woven cloth.
Tartan is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours.
Pin stripes are a pattern of very thin stripes running in parallel found in cloth.

I love the idea of combing stripes with checkers, but you have to make sure not to go overboard with all the patterns. Plus you should stick with a color scheme: Black and white is very popular. Also navy or green are good choices. Make sure if you choose one color, that you keep it monochromatic (Monochromatic colors are all the colors (tints, tones, and shades) of a single hue) or if you choose two colors, that they go well together.

I've put together a few collages of different ideas and styles. You could go for a retro look, classic, or preppy depending on which style fits you the best.

Choosing your style invitations is a very important decision since it sets the stage for your wedding. If you going for a formal event consider this nice plaid design. Or if you are planning a whimsical informal event check out this wonderful company Tear Drop Weddings .
