We Love: Vintage-Inspired Wedding Headpieces

This story from 100 Layer Cake made us think about our obsession with perfection. It’s a great thing when we’re making your Jeff Cooper rings, but the rest of the time? It’s great to take chances and enjoy the happy accidents life brings us.

Like rain on your wedding day. It’s supposed to be a problem, but for Kory, it was the highlight of her wedding day.

Towards the end of our first dance, an incredible lightning storm started appearing all around us, the rain-less type of insane lightning you only see out in big sky country. A little bit after, it rained for about ten minutes, and then it HAILED for another ten minutes (nickel-sized soft hail, wow). It was absolutely beautiful and amazing. We moved the dance party inside the big garage, and watched the storm. After about twenty minutes the freak storm passed and we all came back outside and continued the dance party in the puddles. It was amazing. Dancing in the puddles with everyone I love has to be my favorite memory from the day.

Just a reminder to ourselves, and all the other perfectionists out there, to be open to wonder wherever you find it. What does perfectly imperfect mean to you? Leave us a comment and let us know!

Enjoy these little surprises from around the web, and have a beautiful weekend!

We know this playful, imaginative “country” home is in Brooklyn, but we still can’t believe it. Via Vogue, via Haute Design.

This is interesting. Little Borrowed Dress lets you rent bridesmaids dresses.

And Lovely Bride did such a pretty piece on Agnes Hart’s Etsy store. Gorgeous, vintage-inspired, handmade headpieces, hats and veils.

Want to know what 13 people wore to be interviewed by Anna Wintour? It’s fascinating, actually.

Sounds like Anna Wintour hates vintage, but this blouse from Anthropologie is so good. Downton Abbey style!

And a recipe for a single serving of chocolate chip cookies. We can’t decide if this is silly or brilliant. Maybe both.

Like us on Facebook, we’re giving away a diamond pendant!

We mentioned Ann Hamilton’s incredible art exhibit a couple weeks ago, but tomorrow and Sunday are the last two days! So. much. fun.

No? Okay, here are some incredible cabins to dream about.
