Wedding styling for the bride, groom and bridal party
Love at first sight.
These beyond gorgeous paper flowers have the very on trend water painted effect and are from the creative imaginarium of Flower Bazaar.
But don’t just stop and smell the roses. Venture over to Green Wedding Shoes to see full coverage on this beyond fun and unique wedding! Including a meatless menu, pink boombox and sombreros. Need I say more? Go! Go!
Destination “I Do’s” can be one of the funnest ways to start your lives as husband and wife, but there are a few compromises that you might have to think about along the way. Especially when it comes to the wedding ensemble.
When I went to my pick out my dress, the consultants tried to steer me toward flowy chiffon and airy tulle dresses. But I was adamant I didn’t want my destination to dictate the dress. So for better, for worse I’ll be wearing a satin gown next month on the beaches of Mexico. With these heels.
Practical? No. Silly? Perhaps.
Perfect? Definitely! At least for me.
Just because there may be sea and sand doesn’t mean you can’t have satin and sparkles. And one of the best ways to bring bling to the beach is with some stylish sandals like these!
Or if you’re looking for even more bling, try one of these crystalized creations.

But what I truly love is a sandal I stumbled across in my many adventures of wedding “Robin Hooding”.
If you haven’t already heard of them or seen these, I highly suggest hoping over to seko designs – but the quick summary is that these loverly sandals are handmade by women in Uganda who are earning money for their education.
How could you not want to buy these after hearing about their story?
I have quite a few other sandaled soles for the perfect beachy wedding, but in an effort not to bombard you I’m going to restrain myself from visual overload. But why you’re awaiting post dos how about sharing which of these glamorous options would you pick for the most special walk of your life?
In honor of my baby niece’s 5th birthday (direct quote this weekend: “I’m FIVE now!”) – please enjoy this week’s most Awwwwdorable Flower Girl ensembles!
So get ready because…
(well mini)

This weekend was doubly exciting as a bride to be! Not only did I try on my dress for my mom, but I also had an appointment back to back with my darling friend and got to see her lovely lace leading pick! My friend in her beautiful lacy, fitted gown is today’s inspiration.
And if you haven’t noticed, lace is definitely trending this wedding season. So whether you’re going to be donning a delicate, lace dress, or just looking to add some dainty details, you’re sure to find gorgeous ways to do so! Here are just a few of my favs…
{1} One of my absolute to die for favorites this year has been the beautiful garders showing up on Etsy, La Gartier and of course Pinterest. Emily Riggs Bridal starts us off with a gorgeous lace garter with jewel detail, which takes my top pick, because who doesn’t need a little extra bling to match their ring?
{2} But if you’re really going to embrace lace this year, you have to get it in full length. This dress has been all over Pinterest and is sweetly romantic with its edged sweetheart neckline and slight flair. THANK YOU Watters for bringing us the Natalia.
{3} And every bride needs some fabulous hair flair to complete their ensemble, especially for after the ceremony when the veil will no longer be worn. Number 3 is near and dear to my heart as the exquisite creation of Sally Crew, a local Seattle designer with talent for miles. And she just happens to be one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet! Seriously contact this wonderful designer. She works wonders to capture your full “vision”. Customized. Brilliantly beautiful. What’s to consider?
{4} StudioWedbyMirela. Get ready to show some leg ladies, because these yummy designs are obviously meant to be seen. And you can kiss the garter toss goodbye – these are keepers!
{5} DIY + Lace?! These envelopes are a bride’s holy grail of lace love.
{6} Why leave the lace to the wedding day? Don’t forget to style up your Rehearsal or Bridal Shower with this stunning lace cocktail dress by Vera Wang. Or this one from Asos.
{7} Manolo Blahnik. That is all.
