We must admit, we're aware of the feminine nature of wedding and stationery blogs, but figure today is the perfect day to shine a little light on the men's style. The perfect web destination for the wedded guy? The Well-Groomed blog.

It's not only a site for endless style inspiration (and adorable eye candy) but there are gift guides for every kind of dude. What a perfect way to get inspired for grooms gifts or groomsman favors. The founder and author Darren has delivered everything we look for in a wedding blog:  sophisticated, stylish, and somewhat romantic inspiration for all its readers, man or woman.

Orla Kiely Kitchenware

Have we mentioned how much we love Orla Kiely?  We discovered these delectable earthenware jars in the kitchen section. Sadly, these only ship in the UK, but all the luckier for our British staff and clients. Perhaps we might come to some arrangement with our UK connections?

But there are charming offerings for everyone.

Just a little taste. Visit orlakiely.com for more.

Valentine's Cup of Tea

Esther Aart's darling new Valentine card, Cup of Tea made us think of the beautiful, handmade ceramic work of Sam Chung.

And there are more brand new Valentine's day card designs to choose from, here.

Cut Paper Pendants and Brooches

You know that we're fans of silhouettes and Cut Paper designs— notably in Eunice and Daniel's wedding.  So, imagine our surprise when we found this cache of Etsy goodness!

Cut paper Peter Pan!? What little girl (or never-grown-up little girl) could resist?

bbrooch

Oh! This adorable brooch! We want the suit to go with, too!

bswing

Sweet little swing! The Etsy seller, Tina Tarnoff,  appears to be a San Franciscan, too. So much talent in this city!
