All that glitters

It’s bright and sunny in Marin today.  I’m very excited to be hitting the trails again post baby.  I’ve missed my little man on my mini two hour sabaticals through the redwoods, but a few hours away makes me a better mommy.  I come home excited to start the day with my little man & ready for obstacles when they arise. Parenting is tough work, but his little cooing & smiles make it all worthwhile.

Today I was feeling super inspired by the metallic shoes & fun crop tops (I can’t ever wear those…) that I was eyeing at a shop downtown. All that glitz got me thinking about how you can incorporate gold into your wedding without over doing it.  Less is always more!  I have to say, I’ve given into the craze.  I have some new, adorable tribal/metallic print pillows sitting on my couch that I adore.  Lennon loves to look at them too!  (Yeah! Baby bonus.)  I’ve compiled a fun list of ways to metallicize your wedding below!  Don’t forget to add your sustainable options in there too…  golden dipped, reusable wine glasses, gold painted mason jars for candle holders, seashells from the ocean with a hint of shine & more.

Happy Memorial Day to all.  xx
