Bridesmaids Gifts, III

This next set of bridesmaids gifts is all about the monogram. If done in a cute and fashionable way, monograms can be very chic...not to mention, a great way to personalize a gift... Although monograms have been around for ages, there are now so many great options that are much more stylish and fresh! 1. Those insanely cute lacquer trays made by IOMOI are super cute and are great on their own, or used to... [MORE]

Ask Abby

I want to give you guys plenty of time to write comments and brainstorm with these brides! I am planning a New York City wedding for November. The natural suggestion seems to be to go with a "fall colors" palette but for whatever reason I'm just not that into it -- probably because the church sanctuary where we're having our wedding has a beautifully...

Ask Abby

Our next question comes from Catherine... "I am currently having a color palette problem. I originally was planning on having my bridesmaids wear a burnt orange dress and then incorporate fall reds, oranges and brown into the color palette.

I think it is difficult because when discussing... [MORE]

Dear Abby

Either the colors that the couple have chosen clash with the reception venue or the bridesmaids don't like the hues that they have to wear...whatever the case, there are always stumbling blocks when it comes to your color palette. So today, we are doing reader color palette questions. Our first... [MORE]
