Sun and Moon Jars to Decorate an Outdoor Wedding

August 27, 2008 | editorial team

I ran across these fun, solar powered Sun and Moon Jars from Uncommon Goods yesterday, and I can just picture them scattered around a rustic outdoor wedding reception once the sun has gone down. You leave the jars open in the sunlight to power up and then seal them tight for a glow that lasts for hours. After the wedding they would be great as yard or porch decorations, night-lights, or lining a living room windowsill as an alternative to candles. I don’t know about you, but here is Seattle we could always use a little extra sunshine! I may have to get a few for myself!

Give Away! Win A Lukab and Motwani Wedding Clutch!

August 25, 2008 | editorial team

Today I’m thrilled to say we have a fun and fashionable give away from purse designer Lukab and Motwani. This raw silk “Rumi” clutch with crystal and glass accents was one of my recent picks for beautiful vintage inspired accessories, but with those strong geometric angles and delicate detailing I think it would probably look gorgeous with any style wedding dress. Interested? Here’s the scoop!

Every bride needs a few essentials on hand throughout her wedding day, but how do you decide exactly what those things should be? We want to hear your plans. What would you put inside this lovely clutch and keep near you on your wedding day?  It’s nicely roomy at 11.5″ x 5″ x 1.5″, so you can really fill ‘er up.

And, if you’re feeling like using your imagination, a bonus question: If this clutch were a Mary Poppins style bag with a magically endless amount of room inside it, (remember when she pulled the giant coat rack and lamp out of her little carpet bag?) what meaningful things would you love to bring along on your oh-so-important day? A person? A place? A personal team of stylists?

Leave a comment with your answers and we’ll randomly choose a winner at the end of the week. Can’t wait to hear your ideas! Good luck!

Happily Obsessed with Grey Wedding Decor and Accessories

August 22, 2008 | editorial team

In a few weeks I’ll be taking the trip of a lifetime, to Zambia and Botswana, and I’m so excited I could burst! I know it’s going to be so life changing and spectacularly different than my world here in Seattle that I can’t possibly imagine it ahead of time, so instead I’m thinking about, what else, the fashion!

I’ve been joking around with my friends about shopping for my “safari style,” but much to my delight, my travel books have confirmed that it’s actually something you have to have. Hooray! Most game parks suggest or require clothing in subdued earth tones like grey, brown and khaki so you don’t attract unwanted attention of the animals (fine by me!) In anticipation of all this fabulous monochromatic fashion, my brain just can’t steer clear of searching out subdued tones in wedding looks as well. I love all of these delightful grey wedding accessories and decor items. What a glamorous and sophisticated wedding color palette they would create…
