Jetting off: Napa


We can barely contain our excitement! Tomorrow we are headed off for a weekend in Napa for Danette + Doug's big day!!! They are getting married at the breath takingly beautiful Beaulieu Gardens! Here is a sneak peek at the inspiration behind the big day... there will be touches of glamour, gorgeous peonies, a color palette of coral pink with pops of cheery yellow and elegant accents in greige. Ooh and tons of macaroons! Should be nothing short of fabulous- especially since shooting the wedding is the fabulous Tec Petaja!

Diamonds are a girl's best friend!

We're sure they are Liz's too; she looks gorgeous dripping in diamonds!


If there is one thing we have learned through working with so many brides, it is that each bride is unique and wants that to come across in every detail -- the ring being one of the most important! We recently discovered online jeweler Anjolee.com and had to share this gem with all of our brides. They offer a huge selection of gorgeous, high quality bridal sets, and have made it so easy for you to customize and make your rings your own (you know how into customizing we are!)
  • Start by selecting your favorite diamond bridal set design. Each set has both the diamond engagement ring as well as the matching diamond wedding band. Choose from a range of styles - classic, vintage and modern.
  • Next choose your metal type (10k, 14k and 18k yellow gold, white gold or platinum)
  • Diamond color and clarity
  • Carat size
  • Ring size (the standard ring size for women is 6.5 but almost any ring size can be made)
:: To give you a little taste, here are some bride favorites ::


Diamond Solitaire Studded Band Bridal Set
Splendid Romance Four Row Matching Bridal Set

Delighted by Diamonds Matching Wedding Set
Having the bridal set ensures you have two perfectly fit rings ahead of time, instead of trying to match a band to your engagement ring after the fact. Plus,
Anjolee is the manufacturer of all jewelry items on their site, so their prices are reasonable enough to buy both rings instead of a diamond engagement ring only.

The cherry on top? Free shipping on all orders, gift packaging and a 30-day return policy!

For additional information about diamond bridal sets or other fine jewelry items, visit
www.anjolee.com and www.anjolee.com/blog for product reviews and jewelry education. Don't forget to "accidentally" leave the site up on your guy's computer...they need these hints.

James + Alex Save The Day

Who said you can't have a good time while you're working!? We sure did this past Saturday at James + Alex's super hero inspired wedding. Honestly any wedding at the New Children's Museum would be a blast, but being a part of James + Alex's big day was incomparable! With the inclusion of a breakaway brick wall, a light saber fight, a cereal bar, and freeze dance; how could this not go down as one of the funnest weddings ever?


Here's the inspiration board we created for the couple and a little peek in to the awesomeness that was James + Alex's wedding!

Oh yes, there were lots of cupcakes (hostess inspired ones, cupcakes topped with cookies, cupcakes drowning in sprinkles...you name they had it!) The brides' bouquet had brightly colored ric-rac intertwined around the flowers, floral arrangements were wrapped with poppy yellow and white chevron fabric, colored pencils were used instead of pens for guests to leave well wishes to the couple, and there was an abundance of super hero love throughout the decor. Jagger Photography was there to capture the night's festivities, so we can't wait to share with you this wild wedding!

Trending: David's Bridal bridesmaid dresses & gowns


It’s hard to believe the Royal Wedding was over a week ago! Even though Kate Middleton’s wedding dress is still all the buzz, did you also catch her sister, Pippa’s, bridesmaid dress? Two words we thought of to describe it? Simply Gorgeous. Slimly fitting her petite figure, it flowed with each step following the bride to be. Some thought white was an “interesting” color choice, but we think she really complimented her sister and only added to the royal wedding elegance.




Doing a bit of a search ourselves, we discovered lovely bridesmaid dresses, similar to that of Pippa’s (without the Alexander McQueen price tag- not all of us are in the Royal Family ;) at David’s Bridal! Here are a few suggestions that we thought would be a great choice to recreate your own Royal Wedding.



David's Bridal is an excellent resource for tons of our brides; not only for great bridesmaid dresses but for their gowns too! Several of our brides with upcoming weddings this year have shown us their dream dresses-- which they purchased at David's Bridal! Here is one of our favorite David's Bridal dresses of last year, worn by Tammy at her memorable Pride & Prejudice wedding!
