Although this questions isn't directly related to wedding style or decor, I wanted to share it with you because I know how difficult wedding registries can be!
Q5 - My wedding is set for June 21, 2008 (the Summer Solstice) and it's time for us to register for gifts. Being typical NYers, we don't have much space. So, I'm trying to keep our registry as simple as possible. That being said, I'm trying to decide whether to register for china. I have very simple everyday plates (white...
This is a great Dear Abby question, as I know that many of you aren't interested in classic bridesmaid style dresses...
Q4 - I'm getting married on the Cape in September so we are definitely keeping true to a casually, chic beach wedding. But I am really not having a feeling for bridesmaid dresses. Do you know of any lines that make maxi style, long dresses? Something a little more modern in shape then just the traditional tee length style? This being said I have a range of...
Another Dear Abby question for you...
Q3 - I am getting married in May 2008 in a church. My bridesmaid’s dresses are a tea length dusty rose color. My STD were beige, brown, and rose along with my invitations. Where do I go from here and can I change my color scheme for the wedding?? What other colors go with Dusty Rose??
Okay, first and foremost...as an invitation designer who firmly believes that invitations do set the tone for the entire wedding, I also...
Another Dear Abby question...
Q2 - I know you often have challenges and questions with beautiful solutions on the blog, and thought you might like to address this one. I have a client who is 50 years old, marrying for the second time, and looking for a wedding dress. She asked if I had any ideas for a dress for her... I guess that's proving to be the toughest part of the planning! : ) She's a professional, a new grandmother, and I guess a bit "matronly", but she's got a...
It's been a few weeks since we've done a Dear Abby session, and I have some really great questions from readers that I know you guys will appreciate. So, let's dive right in!
Q1 - I've been perusing your boards religiously for weeks, going back into the archives and waiting for your daily updates. But I've still not seen much addressing the problem I have: I'm looking for non-floral tablescapes. We're getting married on the beach in Mexico, and because the prices there for decor...

I love how simple, and yet completely chic and appropriate each detail is...Robyn did a lot on her own for this wedding and I have to say, she nailed it.

I realized, as I was going through this past week's posts, that I completely forgot to upload a clip from one of my alltime favorite cinematographers,Worker Bee Designs. So, I thought that I would share it with you now, so that you had something fun to watch over the weekend!

Amidst all of this creativity, sometimes it's nice to see a really elegant, traditional style. That is why I've chosen Cami's board to feature on today's post!
This board is just so sweetly elegant. It's feminine, it's romantic, it's classic. Thank so much to ALL of the readers that put together inspiration boards for us to see. They are all absolutely beautiful and remind us that perfect weddings come in all sorts of perfect sizes and style.

I've loved exploring your site, and getting inspired - I've found so many great ideas and palates here that I wish I could have five totally different weddings!

One of my favorite bloggers, Anne of Perfect Bound, has created the most beautiful inspiration board that I just had to share with all of you!
From Anne...My own wedding is 34 weeks away and I am still struggling to pick a color
palette. I think I'm suffering from inspiration overload. Each time I see a
new wedding photographed (or posted on Style Me Pretty), I change directions all
over again.
I love the days that we feature reader inspiration boards..they remind me of how incredibly creative and smart all of your ideas are and how vastly different all of your many loves can be. Today's first readers inspiration board was designed by Brooke who is going for a Rustic, Chic Wedding...

I have been a long time admirer of Twig and Fig, a letterpress designer in the Bay Area. Their work is so organic and lovely, the quality is truly impeccable. So, when Suzie approached me about writing an article for Style Me Pretty, I jumped at the chance!
I have talked about planning an eco-friendly wedding in the past, but feel like it's important to keep discussing new and chic ways to make green choices during a time in your life...
