I recently visited the Cox & Cox website via a post on the fabulous Eat Cake Be Merry blog—both of these sites are fun and inspirational. I love all the whimsical wedding and party details at Cox & Cox. It is a UK company and they offer international shipping, but if you are a craftsy DIY bride, you could replicate some of the items they sell. I found the prices to be quite reasonable, even though our US dollar isn’t what it used to be overseas.

For the true romantic, The Book Of The Kiss is a perfect gift for your betrothed.  It’s is a special anthology of quotations on kisses and kissing from over 30 writers, including DH Lawrence and Elizabeth Hyatt-Woolf. Illustrated with Eighteenth Century engravings and printed on recycled paper it comes in its own decorative envelope.

These stylish French zinc name tags are fun and unique. Simply use chalk to identify your guest and then tie the tag to the chair or a napkin. So chic!

These are just the prettiest gift tags! With charming, softly printed or muted vintage travel motifs, they are perfect for a destination wedding.

And the Sky Lantern is so intriguing (better read the instructions on these)! You light the paper at the bottom of this outdoor paper flying lantern and watch it soar into the sky. They suggest you write a wish or a name on it before release. Cool!

I would use these chunky “Mr. & Mrs.” letters at the wedding reception—you could get creative and paint them to match your color scheme.
