Amy Karp Photography Monday, February 8, 2010 at 2:45PM I am excited to share Robin and Jason's wedding today. Here is a little bit of how everything came together from the bride...
I'm one of those people that only ever wears black clothes, so naturally my theme for the wedding was black and white. It's classic, gorgeous, and everyone looks great in black! I did however, want to add some color to the day, so I decided since I was having an October wedding, bright fall colors would be perfect. The fall colors ended up taking over quite a bit, with the bright centerpieces, bouquets, and I even used the pink, red, orange, and yellow in the stationery.

Andy Wakeman Photography Friday, February 5, 2010 at 12:30PM Amy Atlas never fails to amaze me with her beautiful tables. This "love is the key to my heart" themed table is no exception. Ruffled cake stands, cupcakes, and rock candy makes this table so sweet and romantic! A monochromatic palette is a perfect way to carry out a themed event. Stop by Amy Atlas's blog for more beautiful tables.

Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 2:00PM Please stop by Ruffled today for the launch of their new Classified Section!
"While planning my own wedding which had vintage elements, I struggled to find a single resource for my needs. That's when it struck me, why not create a marketplace for readers, newlyweds and recently engaged brides alike, to buy and sell vintage inspired wedding items from one another?” Ruffled Blogcreator and writer Amanda Nistor said. “The time has come for a classifieds site with a vintage focus, geared towards the legions of vintage style lovers."
The easy to use classified section will create a space for brides and grooms to upload and sell their wedding goods they are done with them to brides and grooms who are looking to create a vintage style. Unlike other classified sites targeting brides and grooms, the Ruffled Blog classified section will strictly be geared toward vintage inspired items.

This is the season of award shows, and I have to admit that I love watching "the beautiful people", especially when they are all dolled up! Stop by Brideface's blog for great tips. Jennifer Aniston's beautiful, sun-kissed look would be perfect for a bride-to-be. Do you have a favorite celebrity for fashion and make-up inspiration?
Brideface Tuesday, January 26, 2010 at 4:35PM My daily jewelry choices usually depend on my mood. Sometimes a bold, statement necklace seems appropriate. On the other hand, small, subtle jewelry is usually my preference. Bittersweets NY has beautiful, delicate pieces. This heart necklace seems perfect for Valentine's Day!
Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 4:15PM On my to-do list... visit Italy. However, until I am able to make it, I am going to live vicariously through Lisa and John. This beautiful civil ceremony, was held in the historic town hall. An intimate symbolic ceremony amongst the farmhouse’s olive groves complete with sunflowers and a panoramic view lit by soft candles and the amber light of the Tuscan sun.

Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at 11:50AM Blue and brown is an obvious favorite palette of mine. This board makes me love the combination even more. I have a love affair with milk glass. Whenever my husbands surprises me with flowers, I am estactic that I have a reason to use all the pieces I have around the house. The vintage suitcases, statement necklace, and beautiful calligraphy in combintaion with the milkglass makes this board perfection. Stop by Postcard and Pretties for more beautiful ideas!

Postcard and Pretties Tuesday, January 19, 2010 at 11:00AM This inspiration board feels like a piece of abalone to me. If the light hits it one way, it could be perfect for spring. If you hold it another, it could be a sunset during cold winter months. I wanted to include some of my favorite details - a chalkboard, gorgeous shoes, and a fun, statement hair accessory.
