Blazing hot sun and surprise rain showers- two challenges to outdoor weddings that just can’t be controlled. Instead of letting the weather stress you out, why not embrace it and let it add to the personality of your big day? These paper parasols from Pearl River are light enough to gently shade guests from the hot, hot sun but also have a water repellent oil coating to stop the raindrops in case of showers. Good […]

A while back I wrote about the super fun Moo Mini Cards, and now there’s a new product that I might be even more excited about- Moo Sticker Books!  Imagine all the wedding related possibilities! Use up to 90 of your own images per sticker book to create 90 stamp sized, scratch resistant, high quality vinyl stickers to use anywhere. All this for only $9.99. Amazing. Who doesn’t love playing with stickers?  

Over the weekend I got to spend some quality time picnicking with my dear friends Nicole and Robin who are making the big move to New York today. (Bon voyage guys!) I was reminded of their wedding last fall and of the fantastic buttons they made and gave out as wedding favors. They were just 1 inch across and couldn’t have been cuter!

What could be a more “green” wedding favor than giving away real live trees? What a great idea! Our upcoming Real Wedding couple Erin and Tristan (check back on Friday for all new Real Weddings!) chose to give their guests tiny tree seedlings from Evergreen Memories at their beautiful farm wedding last September. I love the simplicity of the burlap wrap and mini pine cone, not to mention the environmentally friendly intention behind it all. […]

Domino Magazine is a constant source of spectacular inspiration for the interior design obsessed, and it will turn anyone who picks up one of their issues into a newly design obsessed reader. It’s content is simply beautiful! I think that their online photo gallery of paint palettes is a fantastic resource for finding great wedding color combinations. Check it out!  

Flowers, and especially the bridal bouquet, are such a beautiful, traditional and iconic part of a wedding. Just like a veil, a bouquet can instantly transform a woman into a bride. Once the ceremony is over, the photographs have been taken and the dinner, dancing and fun have begun, what to do with the bouquet is a question that always seems to come up. One solution that’s a sure fire winner is to use the […]

The beautiful European bridal runway shows recently took place in Milan and Barcelona, and these are some of my very favorite looks. I love the variety of shapes, lengths, colors, necklines and sleeve styles. They’re a great reminder that choosing a wedding dress should be all about personal style, and that there’s a perfect dress (or two, or three) out there for every woman! Dress designers clockwise from top left: Blumarine, Blumarine, Valentino, Blumarine, Elie […]
