A couple of months ago, Mindy Gayer, owner of Cotton Idea Studio (this amazing letterpress shop in Laguna Beach), emailed me to let me know that her gorgeous new site had launched. And now, lucky for us, they opened an e-commerce portion of the site so that we can buy some of her hand-picked goodies directly...

There have been so many times on this blog that I have praised the use of color in your wedding color palette. Color can completely transform a space...it can bring a warmth in, a sophistication, even a flirty and fun feel. I love color. And yet, I am and will always be a die hard white fan. My furniture is almost all white, my clothes usually center around some form of white, I tear out magazine pages that feature all white weddings because I think that they are frame-worthy.
So...
A quick bit of news for everyone.

They wanted me to post the details so that some of you brides and grooms, as well as wedding planners, could apply...

Clarise, bride and designer of today's Real Wedding Inspiration Board, has been sweet enough to share with us some (ten to be exact) of the elements that made her wedding day truly special...
1. My gown, along with my Princess Diana type train, made me feel like I was a princess, even though it wasn't a puffy dress.
2. The gorgeous bridesmaid dresses and also my reception 'red carpet' gown by Betty Lewis (...
I wanted to start out this week by posting a Real Wedding Inspiration Board that was sent to me by two of our readers, Clarice and Richard, who were married just a few weeks ago! Here is there stunning board...
I am in love with this perfect Fall color palette...so warm and inviting, and yet it maintains a sense of elegance that is so fitting for this affair. Clarice and Richard are going to stop by later today to let us know what the 10 elements were that made their...
After a long flight from Houston to Boston yesterday, I arrived home to most wonderful surprise package. Inside, were two perfect boxes filled with two perfect sets of sweets, made none other than one of our Little Black Book members, take the cake in Chicago. My husband and I devoured the cookies and truffles in about three minutes flat, which was a good sign that I should write about them on...

Lysa, at Demby + Solomon has been kind enough to stop by for a little visit to share with us some of the amazing details that this fairy tale, Palm Springs Wedding featured...
From Lysa ...
-As the direction for the invites was discussed, we threw around a lot of ideas - but since fashion is such a large part of the bride's life, she settled on the concept of creating a logo or "crest" that was inspired by fashion...
Along with the amazing pictures, Lysa also sent me the stellar list of vendors that helped to design and produce the gorgeous wedding featured earlier today...
The gorgeous photography was shot by none other than the brilliant and talented (not to mention, a member of the Little Black Book) Laurie Levenfeld of Zoom Photography. Her photographs are the perfect marriage...

This past weekend, I flew to Dallas to my very best friend's wedding. And honestly, if I had to do it over again, I might design a wedding just like hers. It was perfect. Beyond perfect...budget perfect. Next week I am going to post all of the pictures and go into detail about some of the fun things that she did, but for now, I wanted to highlight one particular vendor from her wedding.
Rufus Felix, florist and event designer, designed what I...
