pink inspiration

I came across this lovely inspiration board on The Wedding Chicks and just love the soft, sweet feel. The Jenny Yoo bridesmaid dresses are fabulous and that cake! Oh, that cake! I absolutely adore peonies. They're so lush and romantic. The Louboutins speak for themselves... swoon. Happy weekend!

feathers

I really love incorporating feathers into bouquets, centerpieces and even hair pieces. When used in the right way (and in the right amount), feathers provide such a soft and romantic feel. Feathers are the perfect accent for a vintage inspired or winter wonderland wedding. I came across a photo, on the Southern Weddings blog, and really love the subtle touch of the feathers. Very rustic chic!

karin + kevin

Tony, with Imijination, just sent me a few photos of Karin and Kevin's fun and fabulous wedding and I wanted to share. Happy Friday- enjoy the weekend!

Petal's Edge created such vibrant arrangements

Signature cocktail- "Orange Crush"

for the love of shoes

What girl doesn't love shoes?! Wedding shoes are just as important as the gown (well, almost as important :)). Finding THE shoes can take months (Olivia and Miranda can attest to this!) but it's so worth it once you find that perfect pair! Just like when you find THE dress- you just know. I've seen so many fabulous shoes recently and wanted to share some of the eye candy. Enjoy!

sneak peek!

Michelle and Andrew were married last Sunday and the day could not have been more beautiful! I just received a few photos from the photographer and wanted to share a sneak peek. Fred Lee traveled from New York and did a fabulous job of capturing the day!

PS- I love, love, love the groomsmen attire- vests and grey chucks. Very chic!
