Ladies & Lasses, tired of waiting for him to propose? Well then today’s the day, Leap Day! Irish tradition states that today is the only day it is acceptable for the woman to propose! For more detailed information on the subject, check out the movie Leap Year. And speaking of Irish traditions, I have been dying to design a kelly green wedding, so if you are too, then call me!

Cheers!

The invitation plays such an important role in the event. Not only do they tell the guest, who, what, when and where, but they also set the tone for the event, tell them how to dress and what to bring! I love giving the invitation suite to the photographer prior to the event to photograph as well as getting some great photos at the wedding. Don’t forget to include this important detail in your wedding timeline. Here is one of my favorite invitations created by Mr. Boddington Studios from Maile Robert’s wedding last October. Thank you to Nessa K Photography for the beautiful images!

I am obsessed with vintage pink depression glassware from the Great Depression. I started my own collection in high school and have been adding to it ever since. This beautiful glassware makes a sweet statement with most color schemes, but I especially love mixing it in with a neutral color palette for a perfect spring or summer wedding. Pink depression glass can be found in most antique shops for a steal, so get antiquing!

Today we have decided to take a moment to laugh at ourselves. We’ve done many events over the years and it’s fun to take a moment to see how much we have learned! While, some of these things were trends at the time, they should never be repeated! Please Don’t Do That!!!!

Who says you have to just pick one cake? Our October bride, Maile loved Coco Paloma’s pastries so much that she could not just settle on one cake so she went with 5 and I don’t blame her! Don’t be afraid to mix is up with your wedding cakes. I did it 7 years ago for my wedding and I’m thrilled to see the trend is still alive and well!

Garden parties can be done a thousand different ways. We have all seen the wildflower, birch wood, antique garden party done again and again so now it’s time to clean it up and polish the hedges. We are inspired by this gorgeous artisan crafted mirror, boxwood hedges, Parisian inspired fountains, trellis print linens, and the list goes on and on.

I’m predicting this year brides will take inspiration from Kate’s Alexander McQueen gown and incorporate subtle touches of lace into their decor. I love this trend, especially when paired with metallics. Fabulous!






Cheers to 2012!
