A Brooklyn Wedding

October 23rd. 2007 by Abby Larson | 15 comments

To me, there is nothing sweeter, than seeing the perfect wedding of a Style Me Pretty reader. Knowing that Style Me Pretty is inspiring you to not only create the wedding of your dreams, but to do so while still having fun…well, it’s humbling, to say the least. So of course, when Erin sent me pictures of her recent Brooklyn, NY wedding, I literally got tears in my eyes.

Believe it or not, Erin and her fiance put together this drop dead gorgeous affair for...

Jessica Rust Contest Winner

October 23rd. 2007 by Abby Larson | 5 comments

I am FINALLY ready to announce the winner of the Jessica Rust Contest. The question was…how has the Internet, specifically blogs, changed the way that you approach your own wedding?

And the winner is (drum roll please)…Julie! I will be honest, it took me a really long time to choose a winner. Everyone’s answers were so true, and so well said. And many of them had similar sentiments, each worded slightly different. To me, that means that Style Me Pretty along with the...

Unique Catering

First of all, I am so sorry that there were not any posts for you yesterday. I was actually in New York for the morning and ended up sitting in six and a half hours of traffic on our way back to Boston. So, I couldn’t get anything up for you guys! Hopefully, the weekend posts will make up for it.

You know, I very rarely talk about food on this blog. And to be honest, I don’t know why. Aside from the fact that I am a huge foodie, I also really believe that good food and good...

Abby Jean Invitations, Laura

October 18th. 2007 by Abby Larson | Comments Off

Laura is a classic…with a twist. She is one part tradition, one part hip-girl-next-door. We’ve recently infused our Laura collection with a fresh new color palette of kelly green and pure white. What was a really sweet invitation before, is now a bit more contemporary. I love the simplicity of this look paired with such a vibrant color.
