blueprint, bugs and {eco-chic} bridesmaids

Oh how I miss Blueprint Magazine. This was just one of the many amazing ideas they came up with. This story featured several different ways to refashion a bridesmaid dress post-wedding.  This one Rothko-esque skirt is super cool, and  I would send it down the aisle for the wedding itself. Add these cute bug cupcakes to the party, and you'll have a pretty pallette from head-to-toe. Find out how to make the skirt and the cupcakes on MarthaStewart.com. Extra eco-chic tip: instead of making your bridesmaids shell out $300 for a new dress they will only wear once, go to ebay, Ubid.com, Craig's List, whatever, and track down someone else's gently worn dresses, get together with your bridesmaids, and remake the dresses to suit your wedding style.

1stdibs.com: would you?

Yes, it's yellow, pink, orange. But would you, could you, should you ever wear this for your wedding? Probably not. But oh how I wish you would. Don't ask me why but I think this frock should walk down the aisle. And if you want it, go to 1st Dibs--fast! If you invite me to your wedding, I'd love to wear this hot little number. It's even in my size.

handmade cake toppers + more: d.sharp

d.sharp: Eye Candy

 d.sharp, aka diane sharp, meticulously designs handmade items that have graced the pages of Martha Stewart, Country Living, to name a few.

d.sharp sells her creations directly to the public, so you can get one of her one-of-a-kind items for your very own. Her cake toppers are a great unique element for your wedding or any event. When it comes to events, I like to put the focus on a few key elements, such as the flowers, the cake, or the table settings, rather than taking a crap shoot approach and trying to make everything perfect, big, and meaningful. All great event designers know that focus is the key to a successful event, so even if you spend a little more on something like a handcrafted item from d.sharp, it will elevate the experience of your entire event.
