Pretty Pieces

I’m baaaackk. Sorry, I’ve been out of the office for the last week and you’ll have to forgive me for my tardiness today, as I’m still adjusting to daylight’s savings time (I’m sure you can all agree). One thing I’ve learned about being away is that it can certainly take a toll on your desk. Luckily for me, I came back to stacks of beautiful invitations (for an upcoming shoot), five mops (not too sure what to do with those ones just yet), a new fragrance from La Senza anddd–topping my list–a beautiful (and I mean beautiful) bracelet from the ladies at She’s So Beautiful…Consignment and Bridal Boutique. Here’s a snapshot of their kind note: Read the rest of this entry »

The DIY Birdcage Veil Experiment

Ok, so I called this post the The DIY Birdcage Veil Experiment because I wasn’t really sure I could pull this off from the get-go.  Before you read on, I will happily report that the experiment was a success, thanks in no small part to the multitude of DIY websites and forum posts that I found on the subject.  I tried a few of these out (like this one from oncewed.com and this one from bridalguide.com) but in the end came up with my own simplified version of this project by Made by Amy, which I have laid out step by step for you here. As you can see, the supplies and steps in this project are minimal. I trimmed down the one by Amy because, well, with all the millions of things to plan for the wedding I figured the easier, the better! So here you go, my DIY Birdcage Veil… Read the rest of this entry »

Plant Life

Isn’t this centrepiece gorgeous?! I’m behind the idea of having plants as centrepieces. I think they make a pretty picture and are popular amongst guests–especially if they get to take them home after the party. What do you think?

Dressed to Impress

Will your bridesmaids be decked out in a long and elegant gown? Or, are you keeping things short and sweet? I’m curious–which of the following dresses (pictures below) appeals more to your style? Personally, as a former bridesmaid and soon-to-be-again, I like the idea of walking down the aisle in something pretty and wearable. So the idea of an LBD tops my list as being the “perfect” bridesmaid dress. Then again, wearing a colourful frock has its advantage as it would definitely add a punch of colour to my already-dark and neutral wardrobe.

Stunning Sketches: Part 6 of 6

wbfeb10_6japan_500x500

I’m sad to say that all the beautiful work that Partina Atelier and Papillon Cakes did for us is coming to an end. The six sketches that they created for us last week were amazing. And, today I’m going to end with another one of their gorgeous ideas. Inspired by origami both Tina and Diana set out to create something very reminiscent of Japanese culture.
