Thursday Trends | Cutest Wedding Trend Ever | Love Birds

The love birds wedding trend is by far one of the cutests trends yet!  I just love all the different variations of cake toppers.  You can even personalize them to fit you and your groom's characteristics like number 3 and 4. Super cute! This trend can also be found in many other wedding details like table settings, place cards and wedding jewelry. Which one is your favorite?

Rice Butterflies | Throw Paper Butterflies Instead of Rice

I wanted to share with all of you this new beautiful wedding product, that maintains the tradition of throwing rice...with a twist!  Rice Butterflies are made completely out of rice, using an actual grain of rice with rice paper and rice glue! They are to "fly" to the newlywed couple, bringing them blessings, good fortune and prosperity, without the pain of being hit by the grains. :)

Ring Pillows I'm Loving! - great inspiration for your New York Wedding

I'm loving these ring pillows I found on Etsy.

I love this one with the giant silk flower ring bearer pillow on top of a Celadon green pillow.

I am loving this one with the pretty crystal ring bearer pillow, it reminds me of my wedding crystal hair accessory.

And if you are having a destination wedding or Beach themed wedding check out this super sweet coral ring bearer pillow

For a more rustic wedding theme here is a Rustic Birch Bark and Moss ring bearer pillow.

Or this rustic burlap ring bearer pillow is so sweet!

And there is something so beautifully classic about the Irish Linen Ring Bearer Pillow.

Love all things mini especially Mini Champagne bottles for a unique wedding favor

Ok, so you know how I love all things mini, and when looking for the perfect wedding favors I found Pommery POP champagne. They come in hot pink, gold and royal blue. So if your colors match what a great favor display that would make!

You can even buy the super long straws and have your guests pop their champagne at the cocktail hour and walk around sipping them, it's really cute! You can buy it NapaCabs.com.

I love favors that you can eat, drink and enjoy! And who doesn't love champagne, right?!

My Wedding's Little Something Blue - The cutest little something blue

Hello All!

So I wanted to start sharing my wedding details with you and I thought I'd start off with my little something blue. There are so many pretty options out there but at the same time I didn't think that blue would match the whole style and colors of my wedding. So, I went with just a little something blue for good luck. I was the only one who knew it was there and well the photos would show it as well. It was a cute sewn in label with my embroidered initials and wedding date in robins egg blue that was placed just on the inside of my dress. The one I chose came from the wonderful world of Etsy and made by Embroidery by Linda. It was perfect!

Grace Ormonde, the editor of Wedding Style Magazine, has launched her new book, "Being in Love Never Goes Out of Style" and it is fantastic! It is filled with great floral and design inspiration/eye candy. Here is a sneak peak inside the fab new book.

Great Idea for a Wedding Guest Book - An Engravable Picture Frame

When I was looking for a wedding guest book I wanted to go for something different and unique.
So this bride was thrilled when I found this unique wedding guest book idea!
Many of us brides take engagement pictures and would LOVE to display them in a beautiful way. This guest book shows off your beautiful pictures and serves as a guest book! They are engraved photo mats and pictures frames from I do Engravables. The idea is to have your guest sign your photo mat with an engraving scribe and you get to keep it as a real keepsake picture frame. I thought it was such a creative idea and something that I will actually display in our home.

What do you guys think? Any cool guest book ideas you want to share? Just comment below.

Romantic Real New York Wedding Inspiration by New York Photographer Levi Stolove

I was so excited when I saw these beautiful pictures from New York wedding photographer Levi Stolove of this June New York Wedding that I had to share!

The outdoor wedding took place in the brides parent's home and had a beautiful "homemade kinda feel", says Jen, the bride. The wedding was decorated with paper lanterns, handmade origami, wild flowers and vintage jars. The result, a romantic wedding spent with family and friends. What more can a girl ask for.
