Yet another fab freebie from Mujka!  This lovely damask set includes an Invite card and matching  Thank you and RSVP cards, and comes in both PDF and (for the non-Photoshop peeps) PNG image formats.  Since you can add your own text, the cards could also serve as program covers, table numbers, placecards or even favor labels.  Now hurry my dears and head over to Mujka’s site for the download deets.  As always, please respect usage terms.  Thanks, Mujka!

Faux bois or French for “fake wood.”   I’m a fan of the more stylish and modern take on this decorative motif.  Great for a gardeny-woodlandsy-outdoorsy affair.  And yes, I’m blaming The Martha for getting me started — back in the day when the mag featured details from Katie & Ian’s Real Wedding:

Yup, The Martha certainly loves some faux bois.  Just check out some of her DIY tutes (you need to close the video to view the how-to’s):
