Snowflake Sensation

Well, the cold weather is finally here…I’m not sure about you, but I’ve already trekked through a bit of slush this week. When I think about snowflakes thought, I have to remind myself that even though they make my commute tricky, they can make a party pretty fun! I love using these unique little gems to decorate a winter themed event-take a look at this cool card box, the crystal snowflake takes it from simply pretty to fabulously sparkly! Add crisp white or silver touches and you’ll have your own winter wonderland

Purple and Silver

So, I’ve made it pretty clear that I just love the color purple; it was my absolute fave as a little girl and the accent color for my own wedding. I paired in with emerald green, but it is just as stunning when lined up next to silver. This card box says it all, with beautiful accents that add just a touch of sparkle…the two colors go together so well! Pull in the brightness with your flowers and dresses and then escort in your POP of silver for some truly elegant trimming….gorgeous!

Just in case you haven’t read pretty much every other post where I mention this, I’m getting married in less than two weeks (!).

Sparkly Shrugs

Just in case you haven’t read pretty much every other post where I mention this, I’m getting married in less than two weeks (!). So that means there’s a chance it might be a bit chilly, my dress (without giving too much away) doesn’t exactly have long sleeves-solution: a very cool sparkly shrug. Stylish, fun and functional, these little items will keep you just warm enough without ruining your overall look…what could be better really? Well, 70 and sunny would be better I guess, but you can’t have everything!

Beautiful Bronze

Why do gold and silver get all the credit? Let’s not forget how much you can do with the gorgeous shade of bronze, as used with bright blue in this classy card box. Bronze is a fun and different alternative to the more traditional metallic shades and lends itself well to event decor. It makes for beuatiful table arrangements, special cake touches and even accessories for a bride! So be brave, lose the gold and go bronze for a unique change

If you’re like me, you probably associate pearls with demure old school country clubs and maybe even your grandma but, as evidenced by their use in this fun and modern card box, they are making a new comeback in 2011. Forget the traditional white pearl, it’ all about the color today-I [...]]]>

Perfect in Pearls

If you’re like me, you probably associate pearls with demure old school country clubs and maybe even your grandma but, as evidenced by their use in this fun and modern card box, they are making a new comeback in 2011. Forget the traditional white pearl, it’ all about the color today-I absolutely LOVE this Alexis Bittar necklace which fuses grey and coral versions to create a spectacular statement piece! Plus, black freshwater pearls are a fabulous go-to for an elegant and trendy look…perfection.

Sparkling Cake Toppers

So, just in case you thought Marni’s genius only extended to card boxes, I wanted to make sure you all knew about her super stylish cake toppers! ( I am secretly hoping she makes me one to go with a card box for my wedding too hehe). Inspired by the shoes I bought for my big day this weekend, I am all about the glitz right now-just imagine how your guests would be oohing and ahhing over a Swarovski crystal decoration on the top of your tiered dessert…LOVE! I think the letter “F”…which may or may not  be the start my new last name, would look especially divine

Blue and Silver

I know it’s practically summer (tomorrow-yay!) but this super hot and stuffy weekend made me miss the cold weather a little, believe it or not (!) SO I figured a showcase of this delightful blue and silver snowflake embellished box was in order The icy blue is so refreshing and perfect for a winter wedding….which you may be planning now if you just got engaged, right? And if you don’t want to go all wintery, the colors alone work any time of the year…they’re just fun in general!

Dress Up Your Heels

I am not one for anything that can be described as dull, boring, ordinary or any other ‘lack-luster’ adjectives you can think of, so you know I’m surely not wearing a plain old heel to my wedding…that’s why I am so excited about these fabulous shoe clips! I actually recall adding these to my shoes when I was a little girl (my mom was always ahead of the trends) so it makes sense that they should be a part of my bridal gear In general, these are a fantastic way to turn a simple shoe into a accessory worth talking about! Add them to the front, the heel, the side- go crazy…you know I’m going to…
