Sparkling Sparklers.

Happy Friday lovelies!

I know that I am supposed to provide you with a stunning photo every Friday but today I just couldn't decide on one...so get ready to fall in love twice.

How cool is this? Record an image of your sound waves
while you each say "I Do".

This was obviously one heck of a party judging by the disheveled yet ecstatic newlyweds! Seriously though...who doesn't love sparklers?

How sweet are both of these photos? *Sigh* 

What are your plans for this weekend? Can't wait to hear all about them! 

Until next time, xo.

Dresses, Dresses, and More Dresses!

Happy Wednesday!

I have so much fabulousness to share with you all today that I can barely stand it...if you haven't had the chance to take a look at all of the incredible dresses for 2013...you are absolutely missing out on some major eye candy!

Honestly, I have so many favorites that it is borderline obnoxious so I selected the gowns that make my heart skip a beat to share with you...if you want a full list of my adorations, feel free to send me some e-mail love. :)

This AHH-MAZING Badgley Mischka Fall 2013 gown is totally inspired by popular 1920s silhouettes and I am loving it!

Speaking of the 1920s...check out the glamour of this Badgley Mischka Fall 2013 gown! Stunning.

I am in love with the embroidered floral detailing of this dreamy Carolina Herrera Spring 2013 ball gown!

Seriously, I want to go frolic in a field of flowers while wearing this Claire Pettibone Fall 2013 sheath!

Even though the model sort of looks like she may punch someone...I love the layers of this Vera Wang Fall 2013 ball gown.

The beading on this Ines di Santo Fall 2013 gown is utterly stunning...I would definitely wear this every single day if I could!

Monique Lhuillier did some fantastic things with lace in her Spring 2013 collection!

Popping the Question...

Happy Monday loves!

How was your weekend?! Hopefully it was amazing and you are ready for the week ahead. As promised on Saturday, I owe you a blog post that you will adore...so get set for something full of love, cheers, and cuteness.

One of the sweetest and most clever trends in weddings has to do with surprising your very best girls. Brides everywhere are finding amazing, untraditional ways to ask the ladies in their lives to be their bridesmaids. After scouring the Internet, these are my very favorite ways of 'popping the question'.

Enjoy and let us know what wonderful ideas you come up with, we can't wait to see your creativity!

Until next time, xo.

Going To The Chapel & A Whole Lot of Lovin'

            Well my dear readers…we are officially 25 days out from the wedding…I. Can’t. Believe. It.  I am truly so excited and have definitely caught myself daydreaming a good 90% of my day about walking down the aisle…which is one of the reasons why I have been such a humungous slacker when it coming to blogging lately.  Well that and I have been working on tons of last minute nuptial details; ugh…it just never seems to end!  Rather than keep you all on the edge of your seats until the wedding, wondering if you will be treating your eyeballs to another post, I will end your sheer anticipation by saying that I will be taking a sabbatical until after my honeymoon.

            I know, I know…this is devastating…so I will attempt to make this one heck of an epic post to tide you over.  Hopefully this compilation of my favorite ‘all things wedding’ taken from past posts will warm your heart and dry your tears.  Until next time loves…I am off to the chapel…xo

Ugh, I mean...I am biased...but I just adore non-traditional engagement rings...how stunning is this rock?! 

I just adore the divine, soft details of this Claire Pettibone wedding gown...it would just be so perfect for a spring garden wedding!

This wedding makes me want to shed tears of joy...I love the sparkling lights.   It must have been so magical to say "I do" here.

Who doesn't love a good birch vase?

Why are kids so stinkin' cute...this picture is just too much.

I just picture these little girls screaming...'Yay...I bet there is cake soon!".   Let me tell you...I scream the exact same thing at weddings.

Hahahaha. This picture just speaks for itself.

Bridesmaids the Movie


Have you seen this movie (it is Bridesmaids)? If not...stop reading this post immediately...grab your car keys...and drive swiftly to your local RedBox...you might want to also purchase Depends.  Just a warning.

I like to think that this photo actually oozes love...I hope that this is a real couple and not a staged shoot...even if it is...I bet they fell in love taking these shots.

via Mark Adams Photography


Once again...this picture speaks for itself.  Kids at weddings are just so funny. 

via Monique Lhillier


The clean lines of this dress are to die for...I am in passionate love with the sheer sleeves.

One of my favorite wedding details is using non-traditional centerpieces.  The way that cotton is used here is just so utterly fantastic.

To wrap up this love fest...we will end with a good ole' Papa shot...how sweet. 

P.S.- I would have included more photos...but the blog cut me off...what can I say...posting pictures is sort of like a gateway drug.

Paper Cuts & Hydrangea Stamps

            Happy Tuesday dear readers!  I hope that your morning is off too as wonderful a start as mine.  A few hours ago, I had the immense pleasure of chasing my puppy…Coconut…down as she decided to visit with several men attempting to get into their cars to go to work for the day.  Naturally they were in tailored suits and I was rocking a ratty t-shirt and pajama pants that have certainly seen better days.  After slinking back into the house with soaked pants…I swear that there was an exorbitantly unnatural amount of dew outside today…Nut and I had a brief meeting about her socialization skills.  I tried to be mad but then she licked my face and put her really cute face on…which was wildly unfair.  Accepting defeat from my eight-pound puppy just made me realize that today was going to be a good day.  Ugh…crazy dog…now I need Starbucks.  But for your sake, I will power through this.  You are welcome.

            Now, I am not sure if you are currently planning a wedding…even if you aren’t keep on reading because this applies to you too.  DIY sucks.  Don’t get me wrong…I love crafting as much as the next person…but multiplying your ‘little project’ by about 250 is even overwhelming for Martha Stewart.  I have stamped beautiful hydrangeas all over favor bags in three dye colors…one just looked dumb and let me tell you…I AM NOT DONE.  Currently my little hands look jaundiced and have tiny paper cuts all over them…so if you are coming to my wedding and happen to see tiny bits of blood on your favor bag…I am sorry about that…I am sort of just kidding.  So now that you know my very candid opinion on personal wedding projects, I want to know your thoughts!  What are you planning to do for your own big day…am I just venting and will look back on my yellowed appendages fondly?  Let me know!  Until next time…xo                      

This would be Nut...attempting to look innocent after tearing a stick to shreds...in the middle of the living room.
