weather on the island

What kind of librarian would I be if I couldn't compare the average weather in June on Toronto Island with that of mainland Toronto?

A bad kind of librarian. Which I am not.

So it's a bit cooler and equally rainy on the island when compared to the mainland. But there's little to no chance of snow.

and he drives a vespa!

So we've chosen a photographer and I'm really happy about it. Like so many things with our wedding so far, it wasn't even like we had to plan and research etc. Things keep happening serendipitously... like when we went to sell CDs at Sonic Boom and in the course of conversation we found out that the fella behind the counter his fiancee do screen printing. Hello invitations.

Likewise, I went to play soccer with a colleague, and at post-game-commiseration drinks found out that one of the stand up fellows on the team is a photographer with a really neat style. Hello photographer!

Derek Wuenschirs works independently and with BizPhoto. He's also really nice. Below are some of his photos from weddings. Very cool and unsappy. Great colour sense. And now I will stop pretending I know stuff about photography.

i am fascinated


by fascinators. This one from PinkTigersDen on Etsy. This would be great in "buttermilk." I don't have very voluminous hair, so something a little more minimal would probably be best. But what do I know?

Gorgeous, bohemian headbands and fascinators from ban.do.

I think I would have a hard time getting my sister to wear one of these, but I'm tempted for myself... via my probable fave, Oh Joy!.

The vest & rolled up sleeves look on Mr. Pegaja, aka mr. oh my deer. The willows are lovely, too. And this video their friend made on a super 8. Good golly. Can Pip and I just pop ourselves into this wedding?

Cute dress!

Nice price, too. From Joules. I think drapey fabrics suit me a bit better, but this would be lovely on my friend Meaghan, who's also getting married next summer.

Rustic Red

Another lovely inspiration board from Elizabeth Anne Designs. I like having the candles in jars. Maybe candles in jars, flowers in cans? I dunno. Too many details!
