handmade flowers

I'm so stinkin' excited about this post I can barely type. How can one be so giddy over handmade flowers?! I guess it's easy when they're this beautiful. I can't help but think of all the lovely ways to incorporate these pretties into a wedding- bouquets, gown or shoe accessory, bouts, hair piece, ring pillow or even to dress up the wrapping for bridesmaid gifts. Stop by Emerson Made to shop and to see the fun. I hope you love them as much as I do!

Apres Peau

I'm kind of a lover of any and all things sweet so I was thrilled when I received a special treat in the mail... DC chocolate! Apres Peau is a great little shop located on K Street where you can find all sorts of unique DC themed goodies and gifts. I especially love the signature chocolates (of course!) which have kitschy names that pay tribute to DC landmarks. What a perfect favor for a Washington, DC wedding. I'm big on edible favors... sweet ones. I'd be a happy guest if I were given a Washington Monumint or Smithsonian Salty Pretzel candy bar!

It's true- I'm obsessed with the Crew. Although my husband doesn't appreciate my addiction, I like to remind him that there are many worse habits. Afterall, he should be glad that my only addiction is beautiful garments from J. Crew! I'm still working on that one :) I love that J. Crew can outfit the whole bridal party (the fellas, too). One of my besties wore a J. Crew wedding gown and she couldn't have been more stunning. No one would have ever guessed that her gown cost less than $700!

For the bride...

For the besties...
