Bees may not be my favourite insects, but I do love them for their honeycomb-inspired patterns and the natural goodness that they provide for beeswax candles. I’m a huge fan of Big Dipper Wax Works for two reasons a) their commitment to being an eco-friendly and sustainable company (i.e. all their wicks are 100% cotton, etc.) and b) for all their pretty elements.

Is it weird that I have an obsession with straws? Well, not just any plain ones, I’m particularly fond of the decorative striped ones. I think they would be a great embellishment for those of you planning a nautical/retro celebration. Read the rest of this entry »

If there was anyone that stood out for me during last night’s Emmy awards, it had to be the beautiful Emily Blunt–who was there accompanying her husband John Krasinski from The Office. Emily donned an elegant lavender chiffon Dior gown accented with a Lauren Merkin snake print clutch.
To top off her gorgeous attire, Emily asked Laini Reeves–her long-time hairstylist who also did her her hair for the wedding, to style her hair for the evening. The result? A sophisticated look inspired by the iconic finger waved hairstyles of the 1920s. “We wanted to create a look that was very different from any that Emily had worn before,” said Reeves. “Once I saw the gown, I knew that a modern look based on the waved looks of the ’20s was the perfect compliment for the design.” She made a low side-part on the right, pincurled hair while wet and misted it with Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray on wet hair. Once hair had air-dried, she released the pincurls and gently brushed the hair back, pinning it at the nape of the neck for texture and accenting the style with a diamond hair accessory. [stylelist]

It’s hot, sunny and there’s a gorgeous beach in my backyard. Where am I? I’m currently on the gorgeous island of Turks and Caicos, staying at the lovely Beaches Turks & Caicos in their Italian village. I’ll be back on blogging mode this Wednesday with some updates on the latest Martha Stewart destination wedding packages available–should be exciting and interesting. In the meantime, if you’re thinking about honeymooning here or have never heard of this tiny island, here’s a great read that gives you the lowdown on everything you need to know about Turks and Caicos (i.e. where it’s located, best time of the year to travel, etc.).

TGIF! To end the week on a high note, I thought I’d finally share these BEAUTIFUL images with you. Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been in touch with Jen from Layers Wedding Cakes–a talented cake designer from Nova Scotia. We had been e-mailing back and forth about how we could showcase some of Canada’s maritime talent. The solution? Jen and an amazing group of vendors all got together to produce an inspiring reception piece. The result? The images speak for themselves, but I’d definitely say they more than capture the essence of what a seaside/east coast Canadian chic wedding should aspire to be like. Enjoy!!

Every time I discover a new cake designer I get giddy with excitement. That’s exactly how I feel about Magpie’s Cake. Although she is located in Washington DC (lucky brides!) her cake designs are definitely one to be admired and used as inspiration. Romantic, artistic and subtle are how I’d like to describe some of her dreamy wedding cakes. Check out her online portfolio for yourself. In the meantime, here are five of my favourite cakes from Magpie’s. Enjoy.
