It has been FAR too long since we’ve done a Dear Abby Session. I have some great reader questions that I want to share with you today with the hopes that collectively, we can help solve some wedding day dilemmas.

Q. So…here’s my dilemma. I work for Rebecca Taylor and want to use something from our collection for my bridesmaids. I fell in love with a certain dress that was almost the right color, which I thought would be fine, but now it’s driving me crazy....

After spending the morning pouring through the Alice Charlier Events site, I have decided that these two tablescapes are my favorite of her online designs…

This first design is so lovely…a table that I would want to sit at for hours, eating warm french country cuisine…surrounded by candlelight, laughing with friends and family. This look is so dreamy and so romantic, and yet completely doable.

These mirrored cube vases can be found at Red Barn Mercantile.

Simply sent an email thru the online website to inquire about price, availability and purchasing. Thanks so much to Laura Dowling for sending us this great tip!!

Here is the tip that Laura provided…

Alice Charlier, an event planner based out of Los Angeles, just sent me these magazine-worthy images from a recent eco-friendly wedding that she did…

I looooove the use of mason jars and tin cans…somehow, Alice manages to make everyday objects seem chic and dare I say, expensive? The best thing about these table details is the cohesive way that each object is brought together. Alice uses essentially a hodge-podge of...

I wanted to share with you some of my FAVORITE images from the oh-so-talented floral designer that we have been featuring today, Laura Dowling…

How incredible are these arrangements? They are honestly works of art, done in such a fresh-from-the-garden, but-incredibly-elegant, almost-regal kind of way. Her work is so approachable and friendly, but wonderfully sophisticated. Thank you so much, Laura for inspiring all of us...

I absolutely LOVE this video clip that Chris Watson, of Watson Videography just sent me…a high def clip, from one of his favorite weddings…

Chris shoots his films using high definition, edited for wide screen…that means that your wedding day is essentially shot using the finest techniques, comparable to the high def movies that seem so incredibly real, you can reach out and touch the characters.

So, if Super 8 film is used to create that fantastic vintage feeling, 16 mm film is used when you want to acheive that same nostalgic feel…with a bit more clarity, color and richness…

Mason Jar Films also specializes in 16mm films and it’s pretty obvious…they are incredibly talented cinematographers. What I really love about this format, is that it seems to be the best of both worlds…one part old vintage,...
