Inspired by the movie Eat Pray Love, starring Julia Roberts it really evokes the heroine's journey -

Today’s inspiration is all about embracing culture, style and personal freedom.  Saying “whatever” to classic wedding style by incorporating tissue steamers, wild picked flowers, abandoned shelf units, Tuscan style dining paired with Balinese details and lots and lots of color.

Aren’t these DIY name cards/wedding favors fantastic? Nerissa over at The New Domestic created them for a housewarming party. She folded origami paper in half. Then she folded and glued the bottom and stiched the sides to create mini envelopes. She put random goodies inside the envelopes so her guests got a nice surprise when they opened their place cards.
