 Ever consider a custom-made bridal gown? Before you venture forth and have your dream gown made by a seamstress, be sure to remember the following: 1) Select a dress first that will flatter your body. Don't choose one that looks great in a magazine, but doesn't accentuate or hide your imperfections. Petite brides, too. Be sure you find a gown that doesn't cause you to look funny. Find

Two posts back, we talked about an unexpected, dramatic take on winter florals. Well, I've still got holiday flowers on my mind! So I couldn't help thinking about the quintessential wintertime bloom (though, I understand they're actually leaves!), poinsettias! The deep red variety that we all know and love may seem a bit overwhelming to use as wedding decor. But I know that poinsettias also come

We all know and love the traditional iced sugar cookies made for weddings. Intricately decorated to mimic lace, ruffles, and ribbons, and embellished with edible pearls, glitter, and sparkly sprinkles, they are definitely a pretty sight! But for truly artistic marvels that also happen to be wedding cookies, look what we found via Manolo for the Brides! Created by the cookie designers at Better

Say "winter florals" and what do you envision? Probably pristine white blooms with sprigs of mistletoe, holly, berries, or pine nestled among them, and a sprinkling of frost over them all, right? That was my vision, too. Well, was I in for a fabulous surprise! There is another rich, dramatic, and glamorous side to winter florals, as I discovered on Pocketful of Dreams, an amazing UK site just

Huge apologies for the looooong absence! Those of you who also juggle life and blogging understand how the former definitely has a way of crowding out the latter! So here we are, well into the pre-holiday season and the last-minute preparations for you December brides!

Happy Halloween everyone! We may think a Halloween-themed wedding has to be all dark, sinister, and eerie. Not so! Just take a look at this warm and inviting take on this theme at a charming wedding I found on Green Wedding Shoes. Love it!

Fall is here! In honor of this fabulous season, I thought I'd focus—not on leaves, gourds, or woodsy elements—but on gorgeous autumn flowers. Couples are often stumped about what look to go for with their floral accents for this time of year. But whether you go "outdoor rustic" or formal and elegant, an experienced florist can certainly capture the perfect ambiance with fresh blooms! Just look

I've always loved the dreamy effect of watercolor paintings! So wedding invitations rendered in this way are sure to grab my attention.

How do you pull off a patriotic 4th of July wedding without going the cliché route? That is a challenge! But a little searching led me to this absolutely darling inspiration board by Kelly Oshiro Events. Her approach? Bring in the ol' red-white-and-blue but give it a rustic, summer garden party spin.

Ever wondered about the origins of those fascinating bits of colored "stones" known as sea glass? Well, they start out as broken shards of old bottles and other glass items washed out to sea. These are then weathered by the elements into those beautifully decorative nuggets in colors ranging from clear to pale blue to sea green to amber to the very rare reds and oranges. sea glass colors The

Summer is officially here! Which means all the vibrant colors of the season will be on show at wedding ceremonies and wedding socials. So, how can I not join this celebration of color? For the month of June, then, I'll be showcasing different summery hues you can bring into your wedding palette. Let's begin with one color option that just glows in the full sunshine of a beach wedding: turquoise!

Seems like spring has barely been around (in fact, it's only beginning in some places!)...and already ideas for summer weddings are popping up all over. So before we bid adieu to this delightful season, I just had to get in a post on one of the quintessential springtime decorations: bird cages. How enchanting are these bird cage centerpieces holding flowers, candles, and of course birds. If you

First and foremost, Happy Mother's Day to all the dear moms out there! And while we're on the subject of honoring these great ladies, I thought why not pull out ideas for truly stylish wedding accessories for the mothers of the bride and groom?

Handmade weddings have become quite the rage in recent years. So, mindful of Mother's Day just around the corner, I wanted to share some inspiration for DIY wedding favors that Mom would find absolutely charming. Lucky for me, I chanced upon this photo that could spark ideas for three lovely favors you could make yourself: colored bottle candle holders, cloth-bound journals, and crocheted lace

Happy Easter, everyone! This well-loved holiday will be over before we know it, though. So I thought I'd search for other decorating ideas for a springtime wedding, and came up with butterflies!

At the wedding ceremony, the bride takes center stage and all eyes are on her (sorry, dear groom, but this is true!). But when it comes to the reception, it's the venue and table decorations that everyone ooohs and aaahs over--most especially the wedding cake. Luckily, for today's couples, wedding cake decorators are now nothing short of true artists and magicians! And so a search for some

Candles are a must, in my opinion, to make an occasion look really special! But thinking about decorating a bridal shower within the Easter season, I had visions of little more than egg-shaped candles stuck on a holder--and that's that. Luckily, a quick search proved me soooo wrong! Just see what charming ideas I found. Each one puts a slightly different spin on the whole Easter candle decor

In place of the usual floral centerpieces, I was curious about what ideas are out there for focal points at an Easter-time bridal shower. And look what I found! Charming decorative trees that would be fabulous as entryway accents or dessert and favor table attractions. I just love the sweet little details on each one...

The countdown to Easter has begun! And no matter what they say about not "counting your chicks before they're hatched," I just couldn't resist counting these un-hatched eggs in nests as possible wedding decorations! For an Easter-themed reception, nests like these would make the most adorable accent pieces. A woodsy wreath adorned with faux quince blossoms and a little nest would make a lovely

There's just something so exotic and "bohemian" about the paisley pattern! I've always been fascinated by how complex and dynamic it looks, and the rich colors it usually comes in.

With all the attention on the dazzling bride and her lovely bridesmaids, we mustn't forget the little "belles of the ball" -- the darling flower girls! And since spring is just around the corner, and these sweethearts are flower girls after all, I dug up other cute ideas for bringing florals to their look (aside from bouquets or baskets).

Weddings are family affairs after all. So, it makes perfect sense to make it fun for the kids who come along (and less stressful for the adults who bring them!) by planning a table or two just for them! And setting the tone for the kids tables are the centerpieces. I came across 2 great approaches for these: 1) keep those little hands busy with... An "Activity Center"-piecevia Weddingbee 2)

It's been fun seeing what's new in bridal hair adornments this past week! But the classic accessories are still very much around. Take decorative hair combs, for instance. Lovely accents for a bridal chignon or updo, whether you choose to go elegant floral... Monique bridal hair comb by Velvet Owl, via Events by WE ...or quaint antique style. Vintage inspired bridal hair comb, via Recycled Bride

While we're on the subject of bridal hair adornments, bridal caps can't be overlooked! Another hot trend on the bridal scene in recent months, these stylish accessories set a definite period look for a wedding. These two gorgeous examples from Twigs & Honey (again!you can tell I just adore their stuff), for instance, I can just see on the bride at a dreamy Art Deco inspired wedding! Eyelash

With bridal bouquets going totally creative and innovative (as our recent posts show), bridal hair accessories are definitely keeping pace, too! While the classic lace-trimmed full veil will never totally disappear, look what precious creations designers have been coming up with as alternatives. In the area of vintage weddings alone, I stumbled upon the absolutely lovely 2011 collection of

You've surely noticed that weddings today are incorporating more and more handmade elements. You see it in the decor, in guest favors, and even in the bridal party's attire and accessories--such as some ultra-creative, non-floral bouquets. This idea isn't exactly new. But it still continues to amaze me at what fabulous arrangements designers (and even brides themselves) have created from all

At the moment, I'm still suffering from "pre-spring fever." So anything with an air of freshness that has been worked into a wedding is sure to catch my eye.

With the fashion and events worlds all abuzz about honeysuckle as Pantone's Color of the Year, can't help it if I've got more flowers on my mind! Or should I say, on the wrist? It may seem a bit "Victorian" but I always thought those little nosegays worn on the wrist were so charming. Not to mention practical, too. At weddings, bridesmaids have to worry about keeping their formal purses safely

Looking forward to a beautiful spring wedding? Well, winter may linger a bit longer, depending on where you are. But weddings in February and March can begin the subtle shift from winter white to spring colors by bringing in soft florals. Bridal gowns can go flouncier and frillier, with floral accents worked into the design. Wedding cakes can mimic flower arrangements. Even accessories such as

For Thanksgiving, I'm just glad to be healthy! A Thanksgiving wedding is definitely a unique opportunity to highlight what you are grateful for. For inspiration, think of a color palette in ivory, burnt orange, and brown. Consider adding touches of brilliant gold, too. And for my own take for this event: Wedding cake with painted leaves Bridal gown from Amsale - love the look of this gown

Now that I've covered the color palettes of my favorite birthstones, I've decided to switch gears and focus on my next topic of interest. Halloween, of course! In this series, I'll be going over what's wacky, cool, and stylish when putting on a wedding during one of the funnest times of the year. And today, I'm kicking it off with my favorite wedding cakes. These four cakes really caught my eye

Seeing green ain't all that bad especially if it's the color of emerald. Truly one of my favorite birthstones. This brilliant stone brings to mind, a cool and chic palette that you can match up with easily in a monotone way or with hues such as navy blue or chocolate brown! In this design board, you will find that an emerald green can't be just as elegant as long as you apply it properly: The

I'm totally seeing red right now! A ruby wedding color palette is one that speaks classic elegance no matter what season of the year. Match red with black and you've got a totally modern yet sophisticated look. When paired with brown, you can instantly turn the palette into a modern and chic one. For a more daring combination, a gold and red pairing simply says opulent and glamorous! My personal

Whether you call it light blue or sky blue, topaz still remains one of my favorite birthstones. While you would think that the December birthstone would be something like blue or red, this pretty blue stone steals my heart away especially if you think about the "something blue something borrowed" aspect of as wedding. And who doesn't have something that is blue!? Imagine a topaz palette that is

I'm thinking of sapphire this September! So classy a color and teeming with refinement. It speaks conservative, but also elegant at the same time. You can match it up with a variety of hues from ivory to fuchsia. Sapphire was also the color of Princess Diana's engagement ring so this brings loads of style and class with it. The inspiration board below shows just how you can match a sapphire blue

Peridot is the birthstone for August! So, I went nuts over this pretty hue of apple green, which became my inspiration for putting together this inspiration board consisting of apple green and lemon. Imagine crafting a color palette matching this color with anything from plum to chocolate brown. You can even infuse some touches of gold to make it truly glamorous! And of course, don't forget it

I seem to be on a jewel hunt lately! Citrine is my next adventure with its beautiful yet understated elegance. Imagine yourself in a citrine-inspired wedding decorated with sparkly details of this wonderful stone. I can highlights of gold painted with soft touches of ivory, ecru, or vanilla cream. The look is just stunning! Think of Hollywood glamour here! The following are my favorite elements

I'm somewhat mesmeried by the color purple. It's one of those colors that's mysterious yet the more you get to know the color, the more elegant it becomes. Whether you choose to have a monochromatic palette of purple or a combination of colors, purple will speak to you as if it is saying "c'mon, do you dare try me?" Here, I've put together a few of my favorite purple themed wedding items: view

I was feeling a bit quirky today, so it seemed logical to come up with some wacky ideas for wedding venues. After all, sometimes, you need to see something totally off the wall to be able to get those creative juices going! One of the ideas that I stumbled upon was a wedding in a bowling alley. For all of you avid bowlers, this would be wonderful theme idea! Check out this article "Bowling alley

If you're an avid golfer, you will most likely be familiar with TPC golf courses, which brings me to today's idea for a wedding by a golf course. The TPC in Valencia is one example! You can have a breathtaking golf course wedding overlooking the beautiful Santa Clarita valley. The venue itself can accomodate parties as small as 40 to as larger 250 or more guests. You can even have a lovely

I must be a hopeless romantic for ball gown wedding dresses have always been my favorite! And the 2011 collection from Pronovias is a must-see. They're all gorgeous, but my absolute favorite is this one (Felisa):Just imagine a romantic church wedding in a historic church as your setting. Or an elegant garden location in a botanical garden.

Today, I am looking beyond traditional. In fact, it's all about going out of the box and unconventional. When you think about bridesmaid dresses, you probably won't consider prints and florals, but they can be just as pretty! Perfect as an alternative to traditional bridesmaid dresses, which have no printed patterns at all. So, if you want to try something totally different consider these dresses

Ah, the wedding registry! If you've ever had to put one together, it can be both fun and nerve wrecking simply because there are so many things to consider. But before you bonkers, let me give you a few tips to remember.1) First think of the essentials like dinnerware and linens. This is best done with an exhaustive list. 2) Register at places that make the lists easily accessible. I personally

I'm going small today. Small as in turning my attention to the littlest members of the wedding entourage. The flower girl! And when it comes to looking for cute dresses, J Crew has some of the nicest pieces. Some may find them pricey, but they're just oozing with cuteness!

With the lingering effects of the past recession, I think casual weddings are definitely a mainstay this season! Consider going casual without going totally informal by having a "smart" casual look. The look I'm talking about is especially ideal for a beach wedding! So today I'm focusing on how you can dress up for your wedding this summer sans the tux and formal gown, but still being high on

Today is about looking back. Way back at weddings during the 50s. Romantic, nostalgic, and pure elegance is what comes to mind. It is also so inspiring to have a wedding crafted in the style of stars such as Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn. Imagine what it would be like?!

Chartreuse. I just love the name as much as the color itself. It is versatile and can be matched up with a beautiful hue of purple to a sunny shade of orange. You can even pair it nicely with aqua or brown. See the possibilities! This wonderful color is also elegant and understated.

Would you still say "yes" if your fiance didn't pop a ring, but instead a necklace like this one? Yes, of course! I was thinking about engagement necklaces as a unique, hip alternative to rings. Don't get me wrong. I love rings, but sometimes having to wear a ring all the time can pose small issues like when you're cooking or when you have to dip your hands in a brownie batter!

Oh. Beauty calls again! This time it's nail polish for having the prettiest nails on your wedding day. I recommend NARS Cosmetics simply because this is one of the few ones that have UV protection. MAC Cosmetics incidentally is the other brand that also has them. When I found the shades of NARS nail polish at their website, I immediately fell in love with their glamorous shades. Think of sparkly

Tiaras have always fascinated me probably because I'm such a hopeless romantic. The idea of a fairy tale wedding could not be further from my mind. While not everyone can get married in the fashion of Princess Di, we can certainly imagine a wedding inspired by her beauty and grace. Hence, during my search for tiaras, I had the most trouble finding designs that really stood out, but once I

Let's talk cake! While we almost always see the ever-popular three-tiered cake, I wanted to turn my attention to other cakes. Specifically, the bridal shower cake. It's a real chance to showcase the personality and style of the bride. You can make it as whacky as a bustier (yes, I've seen this) or as elegant as a white lace butttercream one finished with peonies. Be creative when crafting the

Since I'm not exactly feeling pretty, I thought that the best thing to talk about is how to get pretty especially on your wedding. One of the things that really stands out nowadays as you will probably notice are deep, heavy mascara-laden eyes. But honestly, I don't like it at all. So, when I saw the model on the homepage of shu uemura's website, I was ecstatic. The eyeshadow is light yet so

Ever consider getting married in the desert? Why not! Let's picture Palm Springs for a classy spin! There are several great venues, but my all-time favorite has always been The Parker in Palm Springs. The decor has that classic feel of old Hollywood ala Cary Grant or Audrey Hepburn. The hotel accommodations are gorgeous in every room, while the garden area is exquisite. Let your guests soak up

So, tax day finally came and went! And now it's time to gear up for something more festive and exciting. Care to guess? Of course, it's Cinco de Mayo. Make it a bridal shower-a coed shower. A fun theme that's sure to be memorable. Think of a colorful table setting with artful ceramic serving platters, shapely margarita glasses, and a bountiful serving of food. Having kids over? Then consider a

The mantilla is one of those things that you are love or hate. It gives a bride a romantic look, one that is reminiscent of old Spain. If you are looking for something different besides an ordinary veil or headpiece, you may want to consider a mantilla. Most often, they are made of tulle or chiffon, and can also be made of lace. Available as a long or short one. You can also find custom-made ones

Under the sea, but not in the water? Yeah, I'm talking about wedding venues specifically, aquariums! The Oklahoma Aquarium is a wonderfully romantic place to have your wedding reception. Imagine how cool this would be!Here, you can choose from either the Coral Reef or Siegfried Shark Adventure. The place also takes care of coordinating the catering. This venue would be great for a couple who has

I'm really excited to talk about cookies! Specifically, wedding cookies because they are a great option for a couple that doesn't want to spend a lot on their wedding cake, but want to give something special for guests to enjoy at the wedding. So, I'll be sharing some fun wedding cake alternatives, which you may actually do yourself!Stacks of cookies via Just Cupcakes from Australia as you can

Let's face it! Not everyone is a teeny size 2. So when it comes to finding wedding gowns for the plus-size bride, I tried to find the most flattering styles out there. Remember that when shopping around for any kind of dress especially if you are a voluptous and curvy gal, that it's best to search for styles that will match your body type. Even petite brides have this challenge because most gowns

I'm thinking of pretty wedding cakes right now in flavors like tiramisu, carrot cake, or chocolate cherry! No matter what flavor you choose, make it creative and one that reflects your personality. My personal favorite cake would be one with three tiers having three distinct flavors in white chocolate, lemon, and raspberry. I would opt for a buttercream rather than fondant. The color would be a

Valentine's Day is coming up as we all know. My favorite time of the day because it reminds of those days when kids used to have Valentine's parties at school and we'd all exchange cards. It was so much fun. Now that we are all grown up, who is to say that you can't have your wedding on Valentine's? After all, it is the most romantic time of the year. And this year, it falls on a Sunday! Start

Bring color out! It's about time. When I read the Pantone 2010 spring/summer report'which said that Turquoise was the color of the year, I was also so thrilled to see colors such as lilac, yellow, and amparo blue being featured. Yellow really struck me because it isn't as popular, but should get much attention this season as the focus is on adding sunshine.So, to showcase the colors, I've

Since finding out that turquoise is going to be a popular color for weddings in 2010, I took the liberty of searching for the cutest bridesmaid dresses. Imagine your wedding overlooking a beach or a lake as your colors resonate in calming hues of blue! What I like about aqua is that it is also such a versatile color. You can match it with red, brown, or even pink! Check out these lovely finds:

I could not be more in love with plaid or more popularly known by Scots as tartan. Back in school, I actually had a plaid skirt as my uniform! Perhaps I should have kept the skirt now that it seems to be back in fashion. And for a wedding in tartan, this could be a very colorful and texturally interesting display. Consider a dress trimmed in red plaid all the way to a matching invitation that

Some gorgeous wedding locations await you in California where the weather is mild and generally sunny. I love this locations for their wonderful views, romantic scenery, and elegant landscaping. Once you have visited these venues, it may be the hardest part deciding where to get married. They're all so beautiful, but remember once you decide, book EARLY!

I love these black and white wedding cakes. They say something a little bit more sophisticated than other cakes simply because of their unique color contrast. I simply think that it brings out a certain romantic touch to a wedding. While you see many cakes in various colors, a black and white has a different personality all together! These lovely finds on the Web are sure to grab your fancy:
