Talk about a beautiful backyard wedding... Kristin and Jack were married in September '08 in Kristin's parents backyard in Florence, NJ. Bride Kristin already had a design for her aisle runner when she contacted us and she wanted it in all black against a white runner, which just looks so classic and clean. Congratulations to Kristin & Jack and thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures with us!
A Note from Kristin: "Our wedding day was perfect. And our aisle runner was exactly how we wanted it. I think it brought everything together. It was beautiful! Thank you!"
A clever groom chose a tiered "cake" made of wheels of cheese and grapes. How cute is that? This could be a super cute display for any type of party — a great spin on the classic cheese display.

Title: info on DVI cables
if you own a computer and want to get the most out of it or your using it for video editing or gaming, you may have bought a new graphics card and you may notice along side the blue VGA or d-sub socket (the one you plug your monitor into) there may be a longer white (sometimes yellow, black, and even gray) socket, it may be labeled DVI (digital video interface). most monitors are coming with this type of connection now and you may think great ill go out and buy a DVI cable and make use of that socket, but you know theirs loads of different types of DVI cable, and if you don't know you may buy the wrong one get home and find it doesn't fit, AHHH, NOW WHAT...
This video will hopefully prevent this annoying but VERY common situation.
This is a video showing you 5 different types of DVI cable what they do and more importantly how they are different.
Welcome to part 4 of this year's Snippet & Ink gift guide! I think edible gifts are probably one of the most fun - to give and to receive. You can make them yourself, you can share your favorites, and you don't have to worry that the recipient won't wear them. A family friend introduced me to Theo's Bread & Chocolate bar, and you might wonder how that works. It's dark chocolate mixed with little bits of buttery toasted breadcrumbs for crunch, and a bit of salt for contrast. I think I'm not doing it justice, so I recommend trying it for yourself, and then giving one to all the chocolate lovers in your life, for $3.25.
I'll admit that I never understood giving boxes of fruit as a gift, but that all changed last year when two things happened: I spent my first winter in a place where it snows for five months straight, and I tried Harry & David's Royal Riviera pears for the first time. For $29.95, this is a great gift to send to loved ones in need of something sweet and fresh (really, they're better than candy - and I like candy a lot).
For the new cook, how about an out-of-print cookbook? The 1975 edition of The Joy of Cooking is a favorite in my family, and my sister swears by The Classic Pasta Cookbook by Giuliano Hazan. You can find them used (try Amazon, Alibris, and eBay) for as little as $5.
If you're shopping for newlyweds, how about a retro-style picnic basket for two ($160). Or if you're looking for a totally unique gift for a foodie couple, reserve a spot at one of Outstanding in the Field's dinners (starting at $180 per person), or adopt an olive tree in their name for £65.00 a year.
Do you have any edible goodies that you love to give or get? Any special recipes that you're making this year?

I cannot believe that it has been 2 months since my wedding day. It seems like it was only yesterday that I was on the alter of my childhood Church surrounded by my family and friends, telling the man I love that I will continue to love him for the rest of my life. Now I have played wife for two months and I think I am getting used to the role, as a matter of fact, I might like it!
People have asked about how married life is treating us, and I think we are adapting quite well. Sometimes when I get home from work and Kyle is already asleep I lie in bed and look at his left hand with his wedding ring on it. I can feel my heart swell up with love when he hugs me. Our relationship was filled with love before, but the dynamic has completely changed. It is almost as if the sense of commitment that our relationship is now founded on has made us even more in love.
Our day to day life hasn't really changed all that much, since we were living together before the wedding. He still goes to work, then later that day I go to work. He is still asleep on the couch when I get home from work at 12am. The only major change I can say is the combining of the finances, and obtaining "Navy Wife status." Now my car has decals on it so I can get on the Navy base myself (schwing!)
The best decision I have ever made was that day 11 months ago when I woke up and walked to the beach in my PJs, and found my dream had come true.... ..the man of my dreams on one knee with a ring...and I said yes....
Jonathan Canlas is one of my favorite photographers, and it's fun to finally have a chance to feature his work on Snippet & Ink. Holly and Mario's wedding is sweet and full of personal touches, and Jonathan captured it beautifully. In Holly's words: The number one thing I'm happiest about are the pictures! Jonathan is truly talented and we absolutely love his work. We've gotten compliments from complete strangers (friends of friends) who have seen the photos. He captured everything in a way that made it seem ten times more beautiful than it was and Mario and I will look back on those pictures for decades to come.
The September wedding took place in Orland, California at Mario's family's plum orchard.
From Holly: The driving force behind most of our decisions was that we really wanted to keep our wedding as personal, simple and eco-friendly as possible within our budget, which is no easy task! We also wanted to include as many of our friends and family in the process, drawing on their many talents and really making the day special to us and to them. We couldn't think of a better place to have it than the property where Mario grew up, with its beautiful orchards and interesting photo ops.
Holly wore a veil by Twigs & Honey (available on Etsy and at The English Department in Portland, Oregon). Mario's best friend's sister, a stylist in San Francisco, did all of the hair and makeup.
Mario and each of the groomsmen wore their own suits and shoes. The groomsmen wore ties from Brooks Brothers that were a gift from the couple.

The bridesmaids purple dresses from Nordstrom echoed the plum motif.
Holly wore plum colored shoes by Chie Mihara and a custom made dress by Elizabeth Dye. As Holly says: It was important to me to support a local independent businesswoman. I highly, highly, highly recommend Elizabeth!
The wedding was catered by Bacio Catering, and their catering coordinator, Melissa Brown, also acted as event coordinator for the day. Holly's uncle arranged all of the flowers for the day.
The tent was rented from AA Tent Rental in Corning, California.
Holly and Mario chose to do a traditional Chinese tea ceremony. Holly says, We had the tea ceremony privately in the house as the reception went on. My Aunt Roberta loaned me the red mandarin collared dress that she wore for HER tea ceremony 22 years ago - it was gorgeous! Going through such a traditional ceremony with our family was more meaningful to me than the other ceremony and it meant a lot to my family.
Our mothers and grandmothers each baked a cake that we grew up eating to collectively make our "wedding cake" - we had my mom's pistachio cake, his mom's rum cake, my grandmother's lemon cake, and his Nani's german chocolate cake. We back-filled with sheet cake from Mim's Bakery in Chico. Each of the family cakes was on display using adorable America Retold cakestands.
My favorite moment, hands down, was the very last song of the night - I've Had the Time of My Life from Dirty Dancing, one of my favorite movies. My biggest advice to any other bride: eat your dinner and stay cognizant of what's going on around you, it's easy to get lost in the commotion and not have time to relax and enjoy the experience. My biggest regret is not getting the chance to talk to each and every guest personally.
Congratulations Holly and Mario - thank you so much for sharing your special day with us! And thank you to Jonathan Canlas for sharing these beautiful photos. You can see even more from Holly and Mario's wedding at Jonathan's blog (also, be sure to check out his black and white close-up portraits - they're fantastic!).

I wanted to share another fall runner with you as well as some of our other latest creations! Dawn came to us way back in 2007 for custom monograms for her October '08 wedding. She wanted designs that incorporated leaves and had a natural elegance... so that's exactly what we did! She then came back to us requesting to have two of her designs placed on runners. The first one she selected for her aisle runner is below (see the post from 8/26) and then she wanted this for her table runner. Now we've done lots of leaves in the past, but this was definitely the most intricate since it included the little acorn. I absolutely adore the way it came out!
And not to be forgotten, here is some more of our most recent work for our fabulous brides. And wait 'til you see what we have in store for you tomorrow... here's a hint: I'm seeing dots...
