Make it your own!

In my daily web browsing for new ideas and unique inspiration, I can across this absolute knock out of a bridal shrug. It is sweet and sensual, feminime and sophisticated, delicate, yet bold all in one. Oh so appropriately named "A Fallen Angel" I have totally fallen for it. Its divine!

As described by it's creator Designs by Bonzie: (run to check her things out!)

"A Fallen Angel" ruffled bridal bolero is a sheer feminine bolero with a couture whimsical edge. Layers of ruffled chiffon adorn the front edges and create a dramatic neckline whilst layers of soft chiffon drape over the shoulders. The movement in this piece is pure romance, a gentle sashay of ruffled chiffon layers caress the wearer.

I am always looking for ways to give my clients ideas on how to take something that can be considered ordinary and turn it into something spectacular. Pair "A Fallen Angel" with a simple and structured trumpet gown like Style 8051B from Watters and you will absolutely be turning heads. Yes, I realize this gown has been on the market for years now, but it happens to be a perfect example of transforming something mainstream into something truly your own.

And the best part, this entire look which screams high style, can be yours for less than $1,500.

Swoon away ladies!

Flippin' for Feathers

How I love feathers, let me count thy ways!

And how I love feathers in a flower girl dress! La!

One of our increeedibly swanky-tasted brides informed us she was doing such a look for the little ones in her wedding and I was so all over it, I had to post this Etsy vendor sweetplume.

These styles and the munchkins are so cute, I could just eat 'em up.

Tal calls them Mini Bjorks. I call them fabulous. We are amped.

What say you?

Happy Friday!

The makings of a custom invitation suite!

So why is it that roughly 75% of our clients choose to work with us in some capacity to create their wedding stationary suite? We are able to deliver truly one of a kind pieces for our clients, ones which others will wish to replicate, people will talk about, and ones which leave guests drooling for more!


While we often create ensembles ourselves, we do work with some of the most talented in the industry to pull together others.


Here is an example of a recent order, which has landed itself in guests' mailboxes last week! They are jaw-droppingly gorgeous if I must say so myself! This absolute stunner involved not one, not two, but EIGHT suppliers and vendors to create. Talk about a lot of moving pieces.





Under the direction of Ashley, the insanely talented and sought after designer behind Smashing Cards, these pretties came to life. Ashley's work has been featured in more places than I can count, including Inside Weddings, Ritzy Bee, Southern Weddings and more!



Debi at Blooming Quill hand calligraphed the wedding invitation, the reply envelope, return address and all of the guest envelopes beautifully. Smashing Cards designed all of the insert cards and envelope liner as well as spearheaded the entire project. Stocks were ordered from Envelopments, of which we are a dealer, as well as Paper Source for the beautiful handmade lokta wraps. The map was designed by Australian based Moments of Color. The envelope liners were printed by Vistaprint and the entire invitation suite was engraved by Reaves Engraving. We were able to put the finishing touches on the assembly and drop these stunners in the mail.


Can you get more gorgeous than these???

Fabulous Frocks for Your Bridal Fete: J. Crew Augusta

So who doesn't love everything J. Crew these days? I swear, ever since Jenna Lyons took over as Creative Director we all went from long time fans to die-hard fans. So it is no surprise that I am loving their Augusta peep toe heels, in Easter colors nonetheless!

My feet are happy just looking at them. How about yours?

Happy Friday!

Fabulous Frocks For Your Bridal Fete: Simply Sweet Ramira

This week, while searching for my favorites in footwear fashion, I stumbled across the absolutely adorable, absolutely sweet, Rampage, Ramira. While, it isn't a brand I am normally drawn to, I could not resist this shoe and the possibilities it holds!

Whether getting married in a garden, on the grass, or in the sand, simply sweet Ramira, would be the perfect compliment and pairs quite nicely with any number of the beautiful gowns from the J. Crew Bridal Line.

Leaves me with visions of wildflowers and warm weather... yes, please!
