Simply Silhouettes
The classic silhouette is so timeless. It’s simple, sweet and sophisticated all at the same time (and I’ve had a thing for them ever since my mom had one made of my sister and me at Disney Land in 1984!) With the infinite ways you could use them, what a perfect fit for a wedding theme, since really, it’s all about you! For endless inspiration and possibilities, check out www.SimplySilhouettes.com, an online store dedicated to […]
Wedding Wall Decals
Lately I’ve been seeing all kinds of cool wall decals for decorating your home walls and windows, but I think so many of them would be great additions to wedding decor! These amazing chandeliers from Vinal Wall Art on Etsy would look fantastic on the wall behind your wedding cake, in a row of windows, framing the area where your ceremony will take place… so many possibilities! There are loads of designs and colors to […]
Happy Halloween!!!
Happy Halloween!!! I hope everyone out there is having deliciously candy-filled day! In honor of this fun fall holiday, I’ve put together some fabulous pumpkin colored accessories that would be great to add to your wedding look, or to your everyday style. Personally, I’m in love with the ruffled undies from Honeydew and the Juicy Gelee lipgloss from Lancome as perfect little winter pick-me-ups. For a wedding look, I think the L. Erickson headband and […]
Wild Poppy’s Texas Chic Floral Design
Heather Krcha, owner of Wild Poppy, a fabulous Texas floral design company, sent me these images from a recent wedding she and her team worked on at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin. The event was a combination of “Austin Hippie” and “Houston Socialite” which produced a gorgeous casual chic feel. Just from seeing the photos, I adore how flowers were the main theme of the day and were carried through in all […]

A Twist on a Fall Wedding Color Palette
I just love how wedding inspiration can come from anywhere and everywhere! I was reading my October issue of Vogue and fell completely in love with the color palette of this Christian Lacroix Haute Couture draped-chiffon dress. (Above- top center image) Its eclectic mixture of plum, sapphire, forest green and gold is a fantastic twist on the traditional fall color palette of orange, red, yellow and green. The rich jewel tones create a lush, luxurious […]
