There are few things better than a DIY bride, especially one with such impeccable style! This bride is a buyer for Magpie & Rye, so it's no wonder that when she designed the invitation suite to her intimate wedding, it was pretty irresistible. That bistro-inspired RSVP? I'm smitten!
Most of you know that I'm a sucker for short dresses; while they're not very well suited to an evening wedding at the Four Seasons hotel, they're absolutely divine if you're throwing a daytime wedding or a more casual backyard celebration. BRIDES Magazine featured an adorable "Short Story" for their most recent issue, and this lace Tara Keely number absolutely stole the show!

This weekend as I happily clicked through one beautiful wedding, birthday party and chic bridal shower after another, I had an absolutely terrible thought:
I was tickled when I stumbled across this adorable illustration of Sally Draper mixing up cocktails for Mommy (aka Betty Francis, formerly Draper)-isn't it hysterical? We won't be serving too many of the drinks from this list, although the Manhattan and the Tom Collins will be on offer. Curious about what else John and I will be shaking up? Just check out the list below!
The darling Annie of Marry You Me arrived in London bright and early this morning, and to celebrate, some of her biggest fans (myself included) put together well wishes for her journey across the pond! A big thank you to Jacin of Lovely Little Details for all the hard work and the gorgeous final product!
Pink and a touch sweet? Count me in! I've made sure we have all the ingredients we need for a Clover Club, since it's what I plan to sip tomorrow night at our housewarming party!
It's hard to resist the loveliness of mismatched stamps, but I absolutely adore the look of coordinated colors or themes! These pink, floral beauties (along with Primele's Chasta calligraphy) are perfect for a garden fête, while invitations that pay tribute to your home states, the school where you fell in love or your favorite films are the perfect way to showcase your personalities even before guests open the envelope!
As a flowergirl at my nanny's wedding, my best friend Kelly and I were caught in the act-someone snapped photos of us enjoying fingerfuls of icing from the wedding cake! It's still hard to resist swiping a bit of icing, especially when it's as lovely as this beautiful confection, although now I usually wait until I've been served!
If you don't already enjoy Sparkle and Hay, get on over to Erin's gorgeous blog and take a peek at her rustic-chic perspective. This shot, snapped by Anna Sawin and styled by TRUE Event is just one of the beautiful photographs from Erin's wedding featured recently on Style Me Pretty-doesn't the girl have divine taste?
A stunning arrangement by Renee's Bouquet, a beautiful photo by Erin Hearts Court.
Take a moment to catch your breath.
A teeny, tiny cake makes an irresistible treat-after seeing this photo, I'm tempted to try whipping up a few myself on this rainy Saturday! Hope your weekends are full of sweets and smiles!
Swooning over this snapshot of a gorgeous lawn wedding by Kate Headley. Wonderfully Gatbsy, don't you agree?
John and I are planning a housewarming party to celebrate our quickie move, and I've been reading Emily Post on Entertaining to make sure I know all I need to about R.S.V.P.s and hors d'oeuvres! One thing Ms (Elizabeth) Post continued to mention was coasters-it's simply not polite to set your drink down any old place!
The devastation in Japan following an 8.9 magnitude earthquake and resulting tsunami stopped us all in our tracks; the images of so much destruction were heartbreaking. Lydia of Ever Ours and Lucia of Utterly Engaged weren't content to watch the news in stunned silence though, so they started an amazing relief effort and encouraged their fellow bloggers to spread the love.
A pair of gleaming green peep toes is perfect for a springtime bride; imagine how darling a glimpse of them would be under a crisp white gown or against an emerald colored lawn!
