Mrs. Panther, Atlanta GA/Westport CT Age and Occupation: 24, Web Writer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Music Recording Engineer Engagement Date: March 13, 2010 Wedding Date: July 2011 Venue: The Inn at Longshore About Me: I'm a total goofball who goes through life at a breakneck pace, trying not to knock anything over. I tend to fall in love with everything I encounter, but more than anything, I love my two little kitties, Bela and Josie, and my big kitty, Mr. Panther! As a wannabe crafter, I'm still waiting for my artistic talents to emerge. (Any day now, really.) In the meantime, I spend my days eating anything put in front of me, buying every pair of shoes I see and absorbing wedding inspiration from every inch of my surroundings. Mr. Panther and I are hardcore New Englanders planning Connecticut nuptials from our new home in the Dirty South, and can't wait to mix our newfound love of classic Southern charm with some modern city touches.

Check out these amazing papercuts from Scherenschnitte! I just came across them on Paper Crave—she hand-cut 50 of them for an art show in Salt Lake City. Each one features a state with its state bird and flower.

Since our wedding theme has sort of become birds and flowers, how amazing would it be to feature the Connecticut one and the Georgia one in the stationery, or on display somewhere?!

And maybe Massachusetts, too, since we met there?

Ah, if only I had a money tree.

Have you come up with any crazy-cool ideas, just to scrap them due to budgetary deficits? Or have you found a way to—as my dear Tim Gunn would say—”make it work”?
