Geek-Out: 1st Edition

[Insert segue back to weddings] Aaaand, we’re back. We took a slight break from wedding shtuff for my wisdom toofers. So I am fully aware that I’m not a wedding inspiration gal, but this is a wedding blog, right? So, theoretically, if there were a few things I was geeking out over the blogosphere, that wouldn’t make me an SMP impersonator, would it?

Gosh, I hope not.

Anyways. I am on day 7 of quitting smoking, in case you’re wondering. As I posted in a reply comment to the lovely Alison, I think I may be too damned stubborn not to quit at this point. {Knock on wood}

So I’m geeking out over a few things.

First is this favor idea I spotted on Wedding Chicks from Scout Books. 3.5×5″ notebooks you can have your custom artwork printed on as favors. I went through the process to be sure it was the real deal, and it’s really simple, eco-friendly, if that’s something you’re concerned with. I am especially loving the green composition notebook shtyle. It’s actually really affordable for as cool as it is as well. The only crappy thing? From what I could tell, if you are inviting 150 guests, you have to order 250 notebooks.

Maybe I’ve been hiding under a shady tree for too long, but I haven’t heard of Paloma’s Nest until within the last few weeks. You know that thing…where you just find out about something…and then all of a sudden, every person you meet is just yakkin away about it? Yeah…I can’t explain why these delightfully simple things resonate with me…maybe because I’m usually drawn to bright & loud and intricate designs and what not…this is just such a a nice contrast…Anyways, Just Wenderful is having a giveaway for one of those adorable little Cherish bowls. Go and enter with haste.

I’m a sucker for letterpress. After seeing some kickass designs of theirs on 100 Layer Cake, I am diggin’ Hammerpress‘ style, yo. I especially love that last one, the grey and white. Maybe because my own insides are attacking me wondering “What the hell is that rockin typeface?! Did they make that themselves?!”

I’m currently geeking out over two photographers, simultaneously, in a geek-fest. He & She Photography has been featured on a flobbity-jillion blogs and I can’t even begin to cite, at this point, where I heard of them…I’m thinking it might have been Hi-Fi Weddings. Intentions count for something, don’t they? Anyways, I love their style and their freaking beautiful web design.  I also really dig those bridesmaids dresses {in both}!

I have a slight photography-crush on Ben Blood. Yeah, I know I’m not alone. Every wedding he posts, I go a little gaga over. I have a feeling, at some point, that rad couples flocked to his style because of his ability to make them even more rad. He was the one responsible for this engagement session, which I’m sure you remember, and this treehouse, yes, treehouse wedding:

In addition to the pretty, I’m still geeking out over Meg’s Partnership Mission Statement and Sara’s gathering of self-written ceremony scripts. If you haven’t visited their corners of the sandbox, it’s time. That’s all. We’re working on a template for tomorrow and a project we’re hoping to unleash tomorrow.
