Another Jim Hjelm Trunk Show…. August 21, 2008

Sept 11-13, Jim Hjelm Bridal Trunk Show at Mon Amie Bridal. Call 714-546-3994 for appointments! I love both of these dresses…isn’t the back of the 2nd one gorgeous???

Ring Bowl… August 20, 2008

I found these on www.etsy.com today! Cute alternative to the traditional ring pillow…ring bowls! Both the bowls and the tags below can be customized to say whatever you want. I am thinking some tags with your names on them and some with your wedding date??? Those tags would be great attached to a favor box with matching ribbon! Fun!

“We Clicked” August 19, 2008

OK, I have seen it all now! This HAS to be the cutest idea EVER for people who met online and are now planning their wedding! It may be a bit expensive as a favor for a very large wedding but, these are mouse pads with the saying “We Clicked” on them. You could incorporate the “We Clicked” on your save the dates and custom napkins…I could go on and on. Check out the link below for these and other great favor ideas!http://www.wherebridesgo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=W&Product_Code=WS-8405s

Wedding Flutes and Cake Cutting Set… August 19, 2008

My mom bought us the Vera Wang “Love Knots” champagne flutes and cake cutter set for our wedding. She  found ours at Bed Bath and Beyond, but I found them on sale here http://www.bestwishes.net/loveknots.html. The flutes are normally $75.00, but are on sale on this site for $60! The cake cutter set is normally $60 but is on sale for $48.00! She had them engraved at Things Remembered. I LoVe them!

Cute Placecard Holders!!! August 17, 2008

I love these placecard holders!!! I had a very small/intimate wedding and venue so we had open seating with cocktail tables rather than a sit-down dinner. BUT, if I was going to have assigned seating/tables…these would have been on my tables for sure! Check these out and more at www.somethingblueparties.com.

Which do you prefer??? August 17, 2008

Ok, so here is round two of my do it yourself inspiration boards! I made these with my own personal wedding pictures on powerpoint. I am getting a little better, I think! What do you think?
