Here's a gorgeous photo of a Swedish seaside wedding (imagine your walk down the aisle including an open boat ride out to an uninhabited island! There are so many along the east coast...), and an amazing Super 8mm wedding video to kick off the long weekend! xoxo

This week, hit the trails with your hubby-to-be for a cycling date in the sun (steal one of His favorite, worn button-downs to achieve her easy-breezy look). You'll both appreciate the fresh air and exercise in the lead-up to the big day, and will get to take in New England at its best to boot! Head to bikenewengland.com for a thorough list of suggested routes in your area.

This astonishing photograph, taken on Oregon's Sauvie Island, has me beyond excited for the start of Peony season. June bouquets are, without a doubt, my favorites because of that majestic flower! To see more photos, check out The Weaver House blog. They've even promised a video of the harvest, coming soon...

Today's sweetheart pic comes from photographer extraordinaire Alexandra Cordts. It's not your typical smooching sweetheart shot, but I can't get over the expressions of joy and appreciation on the faces of the bride and groom as they glance back at their well-wishers. Sure, weddings celebrate the love of a couple (the way that they are holding on to one another, sharing the moment together, is so special!), but the day is also about the love of the family and community that surrounds and supports them, and Alexandra captured that perfectly. Aimee & Erik's Saunderstown wedding was featured in Southern New England Weddings magazine, so be sure to pick up an issue to see more.

How amazing is this scout-themed wedding invitation suite from LadyFingers Letterpress, which features a real walnut wood envelope, a map belly band and an RSVP card that reads 'my boots are packed' (yes) and 'I'm afraid of heights' (no)? Designed and printed in Pawtucket, RI by wife team Morgan Calderini and Arley-Rose Torsone, these invites would be perfect for an outdoorsy, adventuresome, and slightly cheeky couple. It immediately made me think of Wes Anderson's movie Moonrise Kingdom, which we of course love at Chatty Brides for all the gorgeous filming done in RI.

With June just around the corner, two things immediately come to mind: summer travel, and strawberries.
For me, it isn't summer in New England without a berry picking expedition to Maine and a plate of my Aunt's famous, fruit-laden pancakes, which invariably accompanies said stay. Many of us have trips to visit family (and future in-laws) on the sunny horizon at this time of year, and we'll need the right hostess gift to be ready and waiting so that when the time comes to pack our weekender, we can focus on which comfy clothes to bring, instead.
Housewarming gifts are, without a doubt, my favorite present to pick out. I generally set a spending limit of $25, and always look for something useful or edible. With these parameters, I can treat my hosts to an everyday object of high quality and design that they might never buy for themselves, like local, raw honey, a set of fine soaps, or these perfect little parcels from Anthropologie. While the age-old kitchen towel may have previously seemed like a boring, gift go-to, these have been screen printed and packaged to look like a carton of berries, making them adorable, seasonally festive AND functional.
