Pretty pictured parasols

Posted by on January 24, 2011 · Leave a Comment 

After featuring a Real New Orleans Wedding, I’ve had wedding parasols on the brain.

As you’ve probably noticed, many brides (without Second Line’s) have incorporporated parasols into their big day- whether they are to provide shade from the sun or are used as bouquet alternatives.  One thing’s for sure, parasols can certainly add some pizazz to your wedding photos.

Personalized parasols can be found on etsy for around $50 from shops like I Do Originals and Michelle’s This and That

I was excited to find that you can also rent parasols online from Bella Umbrella!  Rental reservations cost $10-$30, on average, and come in a wide range of styles and fabrics to choose from (sampled below).

I love the instant classy style umbrellas can add to your wedding day and, unlike bouquets, these beauties have a pretty good shelf life.

**ADDITION:

Thanks to one of my favorite photographers, Sarah Miller of Miller + Miller, I realized how painted parasols make a sweet, clever addition to a couple’s engagement photos.  It’s the perfect prop!

Spark Letterpress

Posted by on November 5, 2010 · 2 Comments 

Admittedly, I have been having a major love affair with letterpress invitations these days.  With so many fabulous lines on the market, I’m sort of a “stationery polygamist.”

However, there is one line, appropriately named Spark, that continues to win over my heart time and time again.spark stationery collage

Spark invitations are the total package of perfection.  Every design is cleverly constructed with brilliant textures and impeccable details that are impossible not to covet.

The hard working, family owned business of letterpress experts take pride in every custom, handmade product they create. In their own words:

We live vicariously through each giddy couple that comes our way. We search relentlessly for beautiful paper to enhance our work. We’re dreamers with pricing rooted in reality.

Although the company and it’s talented founders are based in South Dakota, their special spark has spread to admirers across the the globe.

Discover spark at a retailer near you and you’ll be swooning in no time…

Custom Wedding Binders

Never mess with a bride’s wedding binder!  It is evidence of all the hard work and thoughtful planning that went into what should be the best day of her life.

Avery offers spectacular custom wedding binders that can be purchased on Zazzle for around $25.

What a perfect gift for an engagement (or even a shower)!?!

On Zazzle, you can choose from plenty of great templates or upload a complete, unique design.

Your personalized binder will be printed in full color and shipped within 24 hours.  It’s crazy to think about how the wedding planning process will evolve over time.  Imagine the thrill of sharing your binder with your (potential) future daughter as she prepares for her own special day.  That’s priceless!

Affordable, Couture Clutches!

Posted by on September 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

Australian designer, Tania Maras of Percy Handmade, creates gorgeous, custom clutches using lush fabrics and lacey embellishments (as pictured). These couture creations can be purchased for only $55 each from her percyhandmade etsy shop.
You don’t have to travel to the land down under for them either. Maras has worldwide shipping! Just allow 7-10 days for shipping and about a week for construction.

Take it from me: I have two of the same cheesy cloth, monogrammed bags from two different weddings that won’t even match my new initials (after my nuptuals). They are probably stuffed in a drawer, just taking up space.
Don’t get your special bridesmaids something monogrammed and manufactured at a dime a dozen you see at virtually every bridal shop…
Honor them with something special to have and to hold forever… like a one-of-a-kind clutch from percy handmade!

Shea Chic Designs

Posted by on September 12, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

 
Shea chic designs creates handmade, custom wedding items to reflect your unique wedding style (examples above).  With only a few hours to celebrate an event that has been taking over your time and energy for months, you are going to want special keepsakes to carry on the memories.
I am loving the custom card boxes by Shea Chic Designs.  The idea of stuffing precious  items into shoeboxes after a wedding is unsettling.  How nice to have a stunning card box that reflects your wedding decor and can also carry special keepsakes for years to come.
The Shea Chic line includes an array of fabulous (customized) items like: monograms/cake toppers, guestbooks, and ring pillows.  I am also a huge fan of their trademarked pearlized couture cake toppers, available in many different colors.  They are nothing like the cookie cutter letter toppers you see over and over again.
All items are reasonably priced at under $100! You can also save 10% by ordering a custom set of three (which includes a silk dupioni and embellished pillow, card box and guest book).
To order your own item(s), email sheachicdesigns@yahoo.com or visit the Shea Chic Etsy store

When choosing bridesmaid dresses it can be impossible to please everyone!  When every girl has a different fashion sense and body type, you are bound to let someone down. Until now…
Enter the convertible bridesmaid dress.
Twist wrap dress by Dessy
Versatile, comfortable, packable, and hand washable.  Available in long and short lengths, the wrap is constructed of matte jersey fabrics in your choice of color.   It’s the type of dress every woman would love to own. Numerous styling possibilities for $190.  GENIUS!

Two Birds convertible dress (shown right) is another similar, stylish option to check out.
Two Birds dresses are available at Bella Bridesmaid nationwide
Owning one of these dresses would come in handy for my honeymoon in Costa Rica.  With a 25 pound luggage limit it will be my style savior!
