Under the Big Top

I love all of the Circus themed weddings lately Here and Here
and HERE among other places. Here's the board I posted on Style Me Pretty -

The Owl and the Pussycat

This board, posted on Style Me Pretty, is inspired by the famous nonsense poem, by Edward Lear (first published in 1871), The Owl and the Pussycat. I would never have thought to put this pair in a wedding post were it not for the lovely invitations by Emily Johnson of EMprint Press. And so I present the beautiful pea green boat, a one shilling wedding ring (by Etsy artist Magic in the Grass), a dress made of runcible spoons (sporks, actually!) and plenty of moonlight to dance in!

*A bit about runcible spoons - "They dined on mince, and slices of quince,which they ate with a runcible spoon . . . " - it seems to be unclear, but Lear may have meant a pickle fork or a grapefruit spoon (some sort of a spoon with prongs). In my inspiration board I couldn't resist dressing our little Miss Pussycat in a dress made of over 750 sporks that I found here!

Other nice things to have would be:

Fun bridesmaids jewelry by Mother Eagle

And wouldn't this wooden brooch, by Made by White, look sweet pinned to the brides bouquet?

Here's a closer look at those beautiful invites by EMprint Press -

Pinocchio Wedding Theme . . . no lie!

In this set, posted on Style Me Pretty, the bride wears a dress worthy of The Blue Fairy herself, the groom gives a nod to Pinocchio with his red gingham bow tie and a Cricket of a flower girl stirs things up! Measuring tapes with noses that grow serve as favors and Cuckoo Clock Watch Pendants make beautiful bridesmaids gifts. Invitations are graced with artwork by Enrico Mazzanti (1852-1910). Italian Pine Nut Cookies are a special treat for guests (the name "Pinocchio" is a Tuscan word meaning pine nut).
P.S. I wonder if the wedding vows should include a promise not to lie?! *giggle*
