Guest Blogger: Martha from Nibs, Part 1

Hi all! I hope you enjoyed last week's real wedding extravaganza! I'm still out of town, but I've asked some of my favorite bloggers to take over for me this week. Today, let me introduce Martha from Nibs. I think Martha may have been my very first reader - she certainly left me one of my first comments - and ever since then she has proven to be a source of constant encouragement and inspiration. She also has her own delightful blog, Nibs, where she posts whatever is inspiring her at the moment. From weddings to gardens to arts and crafts, you will find things on Nibs that you really won't see on any other blogs. If you haven't already, you should definitely add it to your list of daily reads. Today she shares her take on a Victorian Modern inspired wedding...

Victorian and Modern may seem too dissimilar but are in fact a wonderful combination- each enhancing the other! This wedding calls for Victorian architecture - perhaps a gothic church for the ceremony or a beautiful Queen Anne style home with a 'gingerbread' front porch for the reception. Go ahead and use lace but offset its sweetness with black.

Throughout the day I will post extra photographs inspired by the Victorian Modern inspiration board. Be sure to stop back in to see them!
