Metallic Clutches!

Picture from: Marie Claire December 2007

I love these metallic clutches from Marie Claire's December issue. They are small and elegant enough to wear the day of your wedding and chic and versatile enough to wear on your honeymoon and days after!

Happy Holidays!

Wishing all of you a happy and safe Thanksgiving filled with peace, love and laughter!

Warm Wishes!

A new trend in weddings is going green. No not the color but having an eco-friendly wedding. From little contributions like having donations to your favorite non-profit organization be your favors. To wearing your mothers vintage dress. Everyone is going green!

Invitations are another place one can go green. Today we have so many options to choose from in terms of paper. Lela New York is also doing their part by providing options like eco-friendly papers such as 100% cotton, tree-free papers, mould made papers, hand made papers, and recycled papers.

Candy Favors - How SWEET!

Candy favors are all the rage right now. From jelly beans, to multi-colored candy to mints and candy stations, many are choosing this sweet favor. Why not have the take away package be a little tin with your own little message or logo on top. Here is my little sweet inspiration!

Take a peak at some Winter Inspiration!
