Did You Know?!

Hello lovelies! Guess what?! We are halfway through the week...yay!

Have you come up with any fun plans for the weekend yet? The husband and I are off to VA to celebrate the marriage of our very dear friends and we couldn't be more excited! I will be sure to share pictures of our adventures with you when we get back!

Since wedding season is in full swing, I have decided that it would be more than fitting to drop some knowledge bombs on you all...so get ready for some juicy bits of info!

It is said that if a single woman sleeps with a piece of groom's cake under her pillow that she will dream of her future husband...I mean, I get the allure of this but wouldn't it be messy?

Until next time, xo.

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice...

Happy Tuesday loves!

How was your Labor Day weekend?! Hopefully full of hot dogs, relaxation, sunshine, and sangria.

As we pack away our bikinis and dust off the cashmere, I can't help but burst with excitement for all things autumn! I adore this wonderful time of year for SO many reasons...gosh, I can barely stand it. Prepare to squeal with excited anticipation too as you look over this list of amazingly spectacular things that will have you craving a pumpkin spice latte!

Happy Pumpkin Spice Latte Season! Wahoo! I figured that it was really rude of me to mention one before and then to not give you anything...so here is a lovely image of this luscious beverage.

Seriously, how pretty would this drive be?  Wow, I just sounded like my grandmother...but it is totally true. 

Lovely Scarf Image via Microfashionblog.blogspot.com
Ugh. Wrap me up in this now...please. It doesn't get much better than scarves in a chunky knit.

Gorgeous Fall Wedding Images via Eliteeventsmgmt.blogspot.com
I am wildly biased here because I had my wedding in the fall...but in my opinion, nuptials are just prettier in the autumn. If this scene doesn't portray warmth and love...I don't know what does!

H&M Mustard Cardigan via Glamour.com
It is no secret that I adore cardigans about as much as I love chocolate (which is a whole freakin' lot)...now pair that obsession with a rich, mustard hue and I am smitten. 

Perfect Frye Riding Boots Image via Style-Delights.blogspot.com 
Frye riding boots sort of speak for themselves. Just look at them! So pretty. 

Princess Worthy Manuel Mota Gown via Weddingbellsblog.com
There is just something so beautiful about lace sleeves on a wedding gown. I think that they instantly transform anyone into a princess and hey, who is going to fight that? Absolutely no one.  

Apple Crisp That I Want Immediately Image via Myrecipes.com
Mmm, warm apple crisp! A super yummy fall treat...that is obviously healthy since it has apples in it.

Candy corn. Duh.

Cornucopias...I don't know why...but everyone is supposed to like them.

There is nothing better than cozying up to a fire with a good read and a glass of warm apple cider. Pure perfection.

Until next time, xo.

Happy Friday!

Wahoo! It is Friday AND a holiday weekend!

Have any exciting plans?! Let us know what kind of wonderfulness you will be up to!

See you Monday! xo

Aloha Summer...

Hi readers! How is your Wednesday afternoon?! Hopefully you are having a wonderful day and are looking forward to this holiday weekend. 

Since Labor Day is somewhat symbolic of the transition into autumn, I have decided to dedicate one last post to the beauty that is the summer wedding season. So sit back, relax, and pretend that you are reading this on a white sand beach on an exotic island...we can dream can't we? 

Until next time, xo.

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.

Hello Dear Readers!

So as you can obviously tell, we haven't blogged in quite some time and I haven't written a post for Cocroft & Delbridge in almost a year! Why you may ask?! I have been basking in the pure bliss of marital hibernation but now it is time for a return to the blogging world.

Hold onto your hats because on Monday you can expect one heck of a post, chock full of breathtaking photos!

Until then...kick up your feet, grab a latte, and enjoy your weekend! xo
