LOVE/HATE: The Candy Dots Edition - First cookies on your wedding cake, and now candy?! Today’s edition of LOVE/HATE is dedicated to my super fab friend Erin who was the only person I knew growing up who was seriously into candy buttons, aka candy dots. I would never have thought up a candy button wedding cake, but seriously, I don’t think [...]

Mother of the Brides Dresses by Category - Oh, pity the poor mother of the bride, whose frock choices are often so bleh. Mother of the bride dresses seem to come in only a few categories, from beaded and boxy to overly sexy to the old school polyester pantsuit. That is, if you go looking specifically for mother of the bride dresses – [...]

Inspiration: Cute as a Button! - Remember those beautiful button favor boxes and button place card holders I featured, oh, a long while back? If you don’t, maybe you remember Princess Lasertron’s amaaaaazing button bouquet. There’s a reason people say things like ‘cute as a button’ – buttons can be seriously cute, and are just one of those things that can [...]

Be You In Your Wedding Photos, No Matter What - There is something just so awesome about the above image of a bride getting ready before her wedding. Personally, what I love about it is that it’s not the usual shot of the bride-to-be gazing at herself in the mirror, maybe a little tearfully, while her stylist does her hair or her mother helps her [...]

Wedding Inspiration: Silhouettes! - I love love love silhouettes, and being a custom item much of the time, silhouettes really look beautiful on everything from wedding invitations to wedding cake toppers. There are even DIY silhouette kits, so if you’re feeling brave and want to make, for example, silhouette wedding favor tags for your favors, there’s nothing stopping you. [...]

Okay, the Tie-Ins Have Officially Gone Too Far - Seriously. This exists. Papa John’s UK division is actually selling Prince William and Kate Middleton wedding pizzas featuring a portrait of the happy couple in cheese, mushrooms, olives, pepperoni, and other assorted toppings, according to The Sun. I don’t know about you, but that just isn’t the most appetizing thing I’ve ever seen… and not [...]

Twistie’s Sunday Caption Madness: The I’ve Got Something in My Shoe Edition - Hey there, ladies, gentlemen, and those who have yet to make up their minds. It’s time once again to play Twistie’s Sunday Caption Madness! The rules are simple. I post a picture that’s simply desperate for a good caption. You provide said captions via the comments function. Next week I declare a winner and we [...]

LOVE/HATE: The Indoors Outdoors Edition - The recipe: A bride and a groom or a pair of brides and a pair of grooms plus a totally sweet couch plus a photogenic outdoor space and maybe a few cute side tables. Oh, and a wedding photographer. Honestly, I kind of love it, but I also think it looks too staged. Because it [...]

Inspiration: Beautiful Bridal Headbands - Not too much to say about these beautiful bridal headbands, other than that much like bridal ponytails, they are easy and unfussy and just about the simplest way to top off a DIY wedding hairstyle. Here’s a handful that I’ve found on my travels around the weddingsphere that I hope will inspire you!

Blue and White Porcelain Inspired Wedding Dresses - Aren’t these fantastic? The white wedding dress with the porcelain inspired lining is from the Christian Dior Spring 2009 Couture Collection, but as for the other two, the only results I could find came from web sites in Chinese. So good luck finding the two non-Dior gowns if you’re not fairly fluent in Chinese… My [...]
