An Inspiration Board That’s All About the Ruffle

I’m not going to lie to you, I love myself a girly ruffle. And it seems to me that there is no better time for pulling out the pretty than right around your wedding. Whether you’re adding a ruffled necklace to your shower outfit, decking your bridesmaids out in these killer peony dresses from Quail Bridal or adding a ruffle-y heel to your wedding dress, it’s a feminine way to let the world know here comes the bride.

Inspiration Board: Fabulous Feathers

Generally recognized as a symbol of good luck, many brides are integrating feathers into their weddings. If you like this idea, add small touches to avoid looking like a Mardi Gras gone awry. The only exception is, of course, if you are actually having a Mardi Gras themed reception (as shown in the feather centerpieces above).

Especially if you are sticking to a white or pale color palette, small feathers can add interesting texture to bouquets. If you are going with bolder colors, such as red or black, incorporate them into hair accessories or shoes.

Palm Springs Lawn Wedding by Beautiful Day Photography

Happy Friday! The java hasn’t quite kicked in yet, so until it does, take a re-look at this gorgeous wedding in Palm Springs by Beautiful Day Photography.

How did the two of you meet? Tell us your story:
Adam and I were both dating other people and met one night at my friend’s restaurant. We were hooked from that moment. We became each others’ other half…honestly…it’s an incredible feeling to know within minutes that this is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. I feel like we are twin souls…that we have known each other long before we met.

What was the theme | design inspiration for your wedding?
We are both “old souls”…with that said we were inspired to have a vintage looking wedding…we decided on the 50′s and 60′s style of Palm Springs as our inspiration. We really wanted…

Super Cool Customizable Sandals from Offbeat Bride

I just found out that Havaianas now does custom orders! I’m both excited and pissed. I wish that Havaianas had introduced this, oh, um almost THREE YEARS AGO when I was planning my crazy turquoise and orange beach wedding. I would have loved to have made custom bright orange and turquoise wedding sandals. Ah well, it may not be too late for YOU! By the way, this is totally not a sponsored post — I just think that this is a really good idea for wedding party gifts, and bride and groom sandals. Allow me to use my wedding colors to give y’all an idea of what you can do.

So after you chose your base color and your strap color, you can chose to adorn your sandals with charms. Unfortunately you’re limited to these letters and few characters, and you can ONLY do two on each foot.…
