I just about died!

Because I absolutely love this new Poppy collection by Coach! When I saw this on perfect bound, I had to Blog Envy this.

After the truly depressing episode of Jon and Kate plus 8, I needed a pick me up. So, I like any logical Bride I turn to weddings and shopping for weddings. If you are in the same boat ... flip on the Bachelorette, visit Wedding Chicks and move past the Jon and Kate Downer that most likely ended with you in tears... On a happier note, look personalized Bridesmaid, and Maid of Honor T-Shirts! Hope this helps!!

Romance to the MAX!

I dont know why but I am finding so much inspiration for different Staionary Designers lately... It is both a good and a bad thing:

Good: because it pushes my creative buttons and keeps me thinking of new ideas.

Bad: I keeping changing m mind about colors, themes and my overall wedding design.

When I saw this post on Style Me Pretty by Mika 78, I nearly cried it was so beautifully inspired. It set off the angel and the devil on either shoulder telling me to go with ROMANCE for the wedding, and change everything to fit with these inspiration boards that Mika 78 designed. So here they are and I hope they throw off your plans as much as they did on my part. Or you could just oogle at them if you have stronger self control. Either way, enjoy. xoxo L

I think these are my most favorite invites- EVER!

Sweet Dresses.

I was perusing Nordstom, when I found these really adorable bridesmaid dresses by Maggy London. They are light and airy as well as beautifully detailed, I was just upset to hear that they only come in purple and blue... neither would fit into my wedding, but I thought I spread the good word! ITS ON SALE!

The other style that I am really liking, is the mix and matching of the dress with color and cut. I think it is both innovative and fun for your special.

Another fun idea is to have all of our bridesmaids pick a dress in a paricular color, in this case the ladies picked black and I think it really works (as long as someone doesnt go "vegas short" on the length).

Bridesmaids Gifts.

Believe me, if I was rich I swear I would shower my bridesmaids with "thank you gifts", and probably have about 10 more of them too. I am finding myself constantly searching websites and bookmarking all the things I would love to put in a gift bag for them... When I saw these pins by Northwest Bridal, I almost immediately added them to my Etsy Cart... I hope I am not getting carried away considering I do have 7 more months of shopping online! Ok, so maybe I will just add it to my favorites for now. ;) arent they adorable.

The Bridesmaid.

Me and Ali were on a hunt today for the perfect bridesmaid dress. And it all came back to the same place, after many stores, we went with the J. Crew. It was the most fair in prices, and we felt that they were made the best. In the end we chose one strapless, and one halter. I am so pleased and had the best day with my lovely MOH. I think I am going to get my bridesmaid some sort or pin or broach, and they can wear it where ever they want on the dress to jazz it up a bit. Also I have decided that it would be really to have the girls in really bright color shoes (maybe alternating in colors). Let the drooling ensue.
