I adore these invites! Little Miss Press is the best thing that has happened to design in a while. It is a mix of vintage, quirky and fantastic which is what I look for in personalizing an event.
After discovering Little Miss Press (thank you Kristin), I have done a bit of a googling and read nothing but the most pleasant reviews! Everyone raves about her unique sense of style and how she makes your vision a reality. Little Miss Press offers calligraphy for the additional personal touch.
Here are a few photographs from my latest discovery – W. Scott Chester photography! These photos are so beautiful, they capture the intimacy of the wedding and every detail. I must say I am very pleased that i have this bit of inspiration!
What if some of our favorite places start their own wedding shops? How perfect would that be and don’t you think it would make life that much easier. Over the last week I have had a few interesting bits of info come across my desk – Anthropologie will be launching a wedding boutique called BHLDN! Rumor has it that there will be fifteen dresses in the debut line, bridesmaids dresses, party dresses, jewelry and accessories, as well as wedding decor, available at its online boutique. Be sure to check it out on 2/14!
Great news right!? Well let me add some icing to the cake – Shopbop will be as well!
I wish I had more to share but as soon as I do…you know where to find me!
In November my very closest friend got married and it was probably one of the most fun events I have been to in a long while! I think there was a lot that into this but a large majority must have been the photo booth! I probably spent 65% of my time standing in line to take my turn with her props in the booth. So a word advice to anyone getting married in the future…this will be worth all the money and the memories!

you all know the BF}
Wedding Wednesday is back & we are currently admiring pewter, silver, grey! They are such versatile colors and compliment most any skin tone – {…bridesmaid dresses!} and it is easy to pair with another color to accent. This palette works particularly well in winter or spring. 
Pinterest has become my latest obsession! It is the perfect way to catalog all that find inspiring. Currently I am lusting after wedding inspiration boards! It is a mix of everything from glamourous dresses to simple backyard weddings. Check out my pinterest board for sources!
Just hearing about my girlfriend’s wedding (before seeing any photos), I knew I had to write about it. She was certain about her colors and her look from day one! I knew her wedding would be classic yet contemporary, sweet and extremely romantic! I especially love the special moments shared between mother and daughter and the personal touches created by the bride and groom! You can see/read the full spread below!
A few words from the Bride:
Dan and I met at work in early 2008. We were just friends for a while and began dating in September 2008, coincidently 2 years to the day before our wedding. He proposed on December 15, 2009 with a ring he designed incorporating the diamond passed on to him by his grandmother. Our wedding took place at Blackhawk Country Club. The ceremony was later in the day at 4:30 pm, with cocktails to follow at 5, and the reception at 6. I grew up just 3 minutes down the road from here…so it has a special place in my heart. The bridal party got ready at my parents house after having one last girls sleepover there the evening before. My uncle (a judge) married us on a lovely terrace overlooking a beautiful lake and golf course. The overall feeling of our wedding was a laid back vintage style…colors were Merlot, ivory & gold. A few special moments was when I first received my bouquet…my mom had secretly given our florist a piece of her wedding dress along with two pennies (one dated 1983, my year of birth, and the other dated 2010, the year of our wedding)…and she had incorporated those into the bouquet. My mom then told me that her mom, my grandmother, had done the same for her and her wedding day to my dad. Also, our cake has special meaning to me for two reasons. First, Dan, the groom, designed the entire cake from start to finish (both design and flavors – it was red velvet with a chocolate fudge center..YUM). Secondly, the cake topper, belonged to my grandmother and was used at her wedding, my mom’s and then ours. It was really special and a great conversation piece for the guests. The food was spectacular as well…and was also picked out by the groom. The food was western themed – chicken, ribs, cornbread, beans etc…we wanted our guest to actually enjoy the food at our wedding and I think they did! A live band provided entertainment for us, and we danced the evening away…until we were whisked away on our Honeymoon to Cabo San Lucas after a lovely sendoff by our guests carrying noisemakers. It was a fun, perfect day and neither of us would change any bit of it!
Congrats Dan and Sara!!
It is always the small details that make a wedding spectacular. Cake topper can be boring and extremely old-fashioned but this little detail can bring many smiles and laughs! That being said, I have found several cake toppers that are cute, funny and somewhat odd.
Star Wars!
