Bridal Luncheon: A Toast To The Bride's Leading Ladies

Samantha Hutchinson of Could I Have That? recently played hostess to the leading ladies in her life - her bridesmaids. Leading up to her wedding, she threw a lovely bridal luncheon to toast her best girlfriends and sisters at the site of her wedding (her in-law's house). She exclaimed that she wanted time with them to thank them and enjoy their company before all the excitement ran wild. 

So, the bride-to-be wore a delicate white lace Zimmerman dress, served a sampling of salads, sipped bubbly cocktails, and gave the girls enviable gift bags (UGG Australia slippers, monogrammed robes from Target, a Jennifer Fisher cuff, Joie perfume, a beaded purse from Anthropology, and an antique hanky). 

All in all, I think Samantha's kindness and love for her bridesmaids as well as her inspired taste made for one stylish soirée.

Wedding Bells

My life always seems to be crazy in the summer and this year is no exception. The long 4th of July weekend was amazing. I spent it up and down the coast of Southern California with family and friends. I've hardly had any time at home this week before I jet off to Colorado today for my best friend's wedding. I'm scrambling to pack last minute things to get ready for what I know will be one of the best weekends ever. 

To get me in the wedding spirit (not hard to do!), I've been musing over the images from this beautiful wedding on the Amalfi Coast. The bride's dress and jewels are drop dead gorgeous and WOW what a cake! The floral details on the bride's dress and veil are so intricately stunning that I'm saving pictures of both for inspiration. I'm off to the airport... Cheers loves!

An Affair To Remember

One of my absolute best friends and soul mates is getting married in just over a month! With the bachelorette party coming up this weekend and showers, parties, brunches, the rehearsal dinner, and of course the wedding day itself approaching, I'm getting more and more excited with each passing day. Being a bridesmaid in the wedding is the greatest honor a friend has given me. I get goosebumps when I think about how beautiful and full of love her special day will be. For now though, I'm getting ready to put on my party hat this weekend in Vegas with all the girls!

Wedding countdown: 33 days.

Wedding Sparkle

I am currently swooning over the idea of having sparklers at weddings instead of throwing rice, birdseeds, or flower petals at happy brides and grooms.
