Wedding Dress Picks: Vera Wang

February 9th. 2009 by Abby Larson | 7 comments

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! I spent the last couple of days looking through the blog to see what kind of a post we really needed and realized that it had been so long since I did a wedding dress feature! WAY too long, seeing that the dress is basically THE most important thing. Some would say. So, I wanted to share my 2009 Fall/Spring picks from some of my favorite designer. Of course we have the heavy hitters like Vera and Oscar, but I wanted to bring in a few more... [MORE]

Another really great way to bring textures, colors and even prints into your wedding style is to use a box to house your flowers. Whether it's a great old wooden box that you scored at a flea market or paper boxes covered in your favorite fabric, a box will add an unexpected touch to your decor that will really go a long way...
