One of my favorite places for online shopping (and window shopping and daydreaming!) is Net-a-Porter.com, and to my delight they have just launched a wedding boutique! For the non-traditional fashion forward bride, or for anyone looking for that one super special piece, this shop is a gold mine. They have their wedding boutique divided up into sections for the Bride, Bridesmaid, Mother of the Bride, Wedding Guest, Lingerie, and Honeymoon so there’s all sorts of fun finds to shop through. If you need a little eye candy or a spring fashion pick-me-up, head on over and check it out!

Wedding Cookies from Gumdrop Cookie Shop
Is there anything better than receiving a box of cookies in the mail? That’s right folks, cookies arrived the other day, and we were thrilled to realize that not only are these custom designed sugar cookies stunning to look at, they’re super yummy too! Case in point, Blair called me from the Junebug office with a mouth full of ’em to let me know. As soon as I heard those mumbled words and realized she hadn’t even taken the time to swallow, I knew they had to be something special!
Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Gumdrop Cookie Shop makes cookies with all sorts of gorgeous designs and monograms and can customize them just for your wedding. Send them a jpg and you’re on your way! I love that you can order sample cookies to be sure you love the way they look (and taste) before putting in your full order, and that Gumdrop will individually wrap each one as a pretty wedding favor so they’ll arrive at your door ready for your guests. Check out their DIY decoration kits called Van Gogh Gumdrops– perfect for a kids’ table at your wedding- and their cute little couture cupcake jewelry too.
Thanks for the treats Gumdrop Cookie Shop! Yum!
