Becca and Sean’s woodland wedding in the redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains had a magical setting in Nestldown.

We NEED to see someone get married in one of these wild suits

Grooms and dapper brides take note: these patterned, geeky, and short suits are making our lives. We’re so jonesing to see someone rock one of these suits at a wedding. Wild suit brand OppoSuits has an array of patterned suits, short summer suits, and ultra colorful suits to match anyone willing to stray from that basic black suit. And by stray, we mean really stray. But hey, it’s your one chance to look as rad as you like… do it!

Bring your feline wedding party with you via painted cat shoes

We’ve got the most intimate and tearful Washington D.C. elopement coming up later this week, but I wanted to highlight one little detail that swept me off my feet. Courtney and Marisa wanted to bring their two kitties to the ceremony, but understandably, kitties aren’t down for travel. They prefer sitting pretty on the couch… to which I can relate! But to honor their presence, Courtney rocked hand-painted shoes with portraits of the two cats on them.

These wooden rings contain whole tiny worlds!

Looking for a seriously stunning and interesting ring to carry around a teeny tiny world on your finger? Canadian designer Isabell Kiefhaber of Secret Wood is creating wooden rings with resin, beeswax, and other materials to capture wearable little landscapes. They’re both of this world and totally out of this world. You’re going to want to see more of these rings.

Spy the rings below to see absolutely gorgeous scenes of tiny forests, Aurora Borealis-inspired skies, forests, waterfalls, and lagoons. they’re all slightly different since they’re all handmade to order (with a four to five week wait — likely worth it based on these designs!). Let’s ogle the designs and wish they were ours, shall we?
