NOTE: Some of you may have spotted this post on Emily’s blog earlier this week, but until we get our feeds figured out, we’re going to be posting “personal” content here, too!

Last week it was Kiki La Ru’s delicate bunting toppers; this week it’s darling toppers from Potter and Butler!

Emily and Carrie are “makers of handmade goods for authentically merry celebrations.” Don’t you love that tagline? I also love that their name, Potter and Butler, was inspired by their respective great-grandmothers. They write: “Our name is a tribute to our great-grandmothers, Etta Potter and Mirium Butler, who, though they never knew each other, shared an insanely similar set of inspiring characteristics. Potter and Butler were independent, strong, free thinking, hard working, artsy, talented, bird-lovin’, caring about the greater good, resourceful, and stylish (in their own right ) ladies – who could make anything, and more often than not – did make everything – by hand.”

Today I’m featuring two of my favorite products of theirs, the cake garland, which retails for $18, and the set of 12 peppy toppers, which also retails for $18. Colors are customizable on both. Cuteness overload, right?

As a bonus, the girls at Potter and Butler have been so kind as to donate one garland and one topper set for a giveaway! To enter, please visit their shop, then come back here and let us know which you would prefer to win. I’ll announce the winners next week!

  30. avatar Sara reply

    It’s a close call between the Peppy Toppers and Cake Garland, but I think I’m going to have to say I’d prefer the toppers. They’re a unique twist on an already popular trend! I’d love to showcase them at my wedding!

  31. avatar Kelly reply

    My vote goes to the cake garland because it’s just too stinkin cute!!!

NOTE: Some of you may have spotted this post on Lara’s personal blog a few days ago, but until we get our feeds figured out, we’re going to be posting “personal” content here, too!

Hi y’all! Welcome to the NEW It List – top wedding images that inspire the daylights out of me! No rules here; just what makes my heart go pitter patter. Enjoy!

I love images that tell a story… especially images that get me curious about that story. This series from Amelia Lyon makes me want to jump into these photographs and be a fly on the wall!

The instant I saw this succulent kiss from my dear friend Natalie Norton, I gasped. I love her hand in the air, as if she is just smitten with love and abandon!

Otto Schulze frequently gives me photographic goosebumps. I can just hear this moment with the boys.

Something about this turn to cool weather makes me crave wool and heather gray and my husband’s warm chest to rest my head on. Jonathan Canlas brought the warm fuzzies with these lovelies.

If you get too chilly in your neck of the woods, just stop by Paul Johnson’s blog. It’s summer all year round at one of my favorite places on earth, Allys Beach. Gorgeous couple and you know I love that bowtie! Paul also shot my family this summer and I just adore he and Mecheal.

Last but not least for today… I love you. I really do. Thanks, Image is Found. Wouldn’t you love to have a set of your man mouthing this to you for a rainy day?

Have an image you would like to submit? Tweet it to me @LaraCasey with the #ItList hashtag. I’d love to see what inspires you! So… which one above is your favorite?

    Love it all! Esp. the bottom pick, he could also be saying Elephant Shoe ;) …just a thought!

  2. avatar Jessica Lagomarcino reply

    I love the one with her hand in the air too! Great moment captured.

    But I also LOVE Jonathan Canlas’ work… looked into him for MY wedding!

  3. avatar Kristen Steele reply

    I absolutely ADORE Natalie’s photo!! The coloring, their joy, the gorgeous details… superb! I’ll be posting some of my photos for the #ItList soon so stay tuned! :)

    I love the one of the group of guys. The contrast between the dark shadows and the white shirts is awesome. And every one of them has an awesome expression on their face, a lot of emotion. I’m also loving the denim shirt the guy has on in Paul Johnson’s photo.

Cover Finalist :: Kristen Weaver

by in Main on

Remember how we had a competition to design our V3 cover? We shared a little preview of each of the 15 completed shoots in the print edition, but over the next few weeks we’re going to be sharing extended looks, starting with Kristen Weaver.

We love that Kristen’s shoot picked up on the seaside vibe from the original inspiration. Kristen is based in Orlando and pulled together a terrific team, including stylist Melanie Pace, planner April Dorsey, and makeup artist Mary Irwin, and dresses from Claire Pettibone. See more in the gallery here!

P.S. Like what you see? Pick up a copy of or see our store listings for V3 here!
