I leave you, on a chilly Friday in New York, with this… The cake, by My Sweet & Saucy is made of buttercream, and is topped off with luscious, fresh raspberries. { Photo Credit: Bonnie Tsang } *** This next set of photos have a certain special thing in common, that is, aside from being [...]
I adore nearly all things California, I think it’s obvious by now. (A failing economy, fires and one movie star governor are behind the “nearly.”) With so many awe-inspiring bits of photographic beauty emerging from the oblong state on the western edge of our country, it’s hard not to fall deeply and hopelessly in love [...]
While in California about a week and a half ago, I stayed a number of nights with my dear aunt and uncle at their extraordinary coastal ranch home. It’s such a privilege to spend time there, for myriad reasons. Seeing as we live on opposite sides of the country, quality time with that side of [...]
I am so excited… SO EXCITED… about this post. I stumbled upon this awesomeness while perusing Creature Comforts, which made mention of this product. I checked it out on Williams-Sonoma, and just cannot – I, I just – it’s so – just LOOK and you’ll understand: Do you see what I mean?!! You can imprint [...]
The Backyard LA Wedding of Steve and Kelly, photographed by Sarah Yates, continued… I know. This wedding is the definition of dreamy. If you were to look up “dreamy” in the dictionary… you know the rest. Kelly’s whole bridal look… her hair, her makeup, her gown… all of it, perfection… Absolutely breathtaking. A contender for [...]
On a visit to A Cup of Joe, I discovered a path to one of the prettiest weddings currently floating around in the ether, and featured on Once Wed. Sarah Yates, the amazing photographer tasked with capturing this wedding – whose out-of-this-world talent makes my jaw drop repeatedly with every additional wedding she posts – [...]
I left a teaser in my first post of the day… sorry about that, but it wasn’t to mess with you! I just couldn’t keep adding more goodness to it, when the goodness I wanted to add deserved its OWN feature! You understand, right? Hopefully I’ll be able to make amends with all that follows… [...]
That’s right, just some extra sparkly eye candy for you to eat up. ‘Cause I felt like it. Enjoy! That one above? That’s my favorite – just rings in boxes, I know, but I could stare at it for minutes. Minutes!!! This next one isn’t ugly either… And get a load of THIS MOTHER: Got [...]
While combing flickr for some stellar inspiration, I lucked into finding this brilliant set of photographs by flag75*, each one more colorful and intriguing than the next. They remind me of that game segment from one of those late night talk shows – the name of which I can’t recall at the moment – that [...]
I have admired Rebecca Thuss from afar for quite a long stretch now. When it comes to swoon-worthy, she is, in my estimation, a genius. Upon a visit to Rebecca’s site, one finds this menu: Now, I can speak only for myself, but you might agree with me when I say that this short, sweet [...]
OK, let’s get started… Here we go with more of that sweet, sweet stuff I love today! Beginning with this abso-fab print from bubbo on Etsy… It’s pretty freakin’ nice, wouldn’t you say? I’m including this today not just because it’s fantabulous – which it so is – but because of what happens if you [...]
Alright everyone, here we go. I’m practically hyperventilating over these finds, today. Go get a brown paper bag in case you begin to experience some shallow breathing… The Wedding Chicks have outdone themselves with this find right here. They’ve brought us one of the most beautiful wedding paper templates I’ve eva seen. Eva. It’s beautiful, [...]
Surfing around on the Etsy wave one day, I happened upon Ashley’s shop. In my opinion, her sterling silver jewelry is, as my two year old nephew likes to say, “oooh, so cute.” (He’s clearly parroting us, especially if you could hear the inflection in his voice when he says those words – it’s… well, [...]
Want to know what’s been really tough for me to do? Pick just ONE color palette for my wedding. That’s one of the most difficult decisions I’ve faced while planning my affair and it’s not getting any easier the more inspiration I find. And guess what? It’s a challenging thing to plan a wedding when [...]
Considering cake toppers? Many of us go back and forth on the subject, and I’m no exception. I think I like the idea of a cake topper but, so far, I haven’t really liked my options. For the most part, the ones I’ve seen are just so kitschy – and not even the good, hip [...]
Dear Martha Stewart Weddings, Your magazines are among the only ones I keep, for years past the date printed on the cover. Why? Because the ideas that line the glossy pages of each and every issue you make are the kind that will never go out of style. And these ideas right here – which [...]
I love it when I randomly take a look at one of the many lovely shops I’ve “Favorited” on Etsy, and find – always to my surprise, for some reason – new and outstanding product ready for purchase. Say it with me, folks – new product. Ahh, just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it. In [...]
. LOVE TYPOGRAPHY. Now, I know I say “I love” about a lot of things – but with Typography, I mean it. *** If Typography had been a character on Saved by the Bell, it would have been Zack Morris (I realize it would make more sense as Jessie Spano, but… c’mon). And, if asked [...]
Oh and the mustache one I threw in because it’s awesome. Not really wedding-logo awesome, just really awesome. ( Above: “PLAY” in red hearts! Too cute, but it might be somewhat challenging for your guests… aaaand your initials would have to include and be limited to P, L, A and Y. So, not easy. But [...]
I thought I liked my butt until I saw yours, Miss. I hope you don’t mind me staring a bit. I don’t think you do, since you’ve made it the photographic focal point. So I’m going to keep my eyes fixed, as well as send a little shout out to Chris Nicholls for gifting the [...]
