Oh, I'm feeling all fluttery and happy about these nature-inspired crafts from Laura and Ben's wedding, found on Martha Stewart Weddings via Frolic.

I'm in love with Laura's floating, fluttering butterfly bouquet. And marry me, cute nature-loving specimen box party favors, which are glass-topped and hold pressed butterflies, leaves, and flowers. How very pretty — a real keeper!

These are fun wedding ideas, yes, but also great ideas for all you crafty mamas. Why not a butterfly bouquet centerpiece or a specimen keepsake box for your own garden favorites? They make pretty amazing wall art.

I say yes, yes, and I do.
