Why, thank you for coming!

Wedding favors can be tricky. Do you or don't you? We always recommend that if you give a favor it should be something really special to remind the guests of the bride and groom or something edible. Here are some great favors we found on etsy.com  to help you with your decision! 

These fleur-de-lis lollipops from Hitthespot, are perfect for your French or New Orleans themed wedding.

Treat your bridal party to a custom cookie that looks like them as a thank you for being part of your special day!

Also from Katie's Something Sweet are these customizable wedding cookies. Your guests are sure to get a kick of you and your groom in edible form!

Everyone grabs matches from a restaurant, so why not let your guests think of you when they are lighting their candle at home! They come in a variety of colors and patterns to fit your style.

Found at Lil Missi on Etsy.

If you don't have time to customize your favorite soap, chocolate, or cookie, just drop any item into these adorable bags from  Paper Moon by Kat.  These bags are perfect for any wedding and allow you to throw in your last minute gift and still look like you had been planning it all along!

Pintrest

We always encourage brides to make inspiration boards, but finding time to flip through magazines, cut out images you like, pin them to a board, workout, go to work, and plan a wedding can be too much sometimes!  Plus, once you've made the board you can't take it out on meetings with you. So, when we found Pintrest, we were elated to realize we can make our inspiration boards online!

Take a look at our inspiration board from today!

Happy Pinning!

Lucky in Love

It doesn't have to be just St. Patrick's day to feel like the luckiest Bride in the world.  Take a look at this adorable feaux wedding from Shannon Leahy, where the theme was inspired by Ireland and of course...the shamrock!

The monogrammed chairs for the bride and groom are lovely! The best part... you get to keep for your home after the wedding!

This boutonniere is  the perfect size for any groom and the nosegay is great for mothers or grandmothers. The parrot tulips and lilly of the valley are so elegant anyone would be lucky to carry them!

The clovers  above the menu cards add a perfect touch. Often times, brides want to put a single flower near the place setting, but it can get expensive.  You can pick the clovers out of your own backyard!

Beautiful blooming branches are perfect for Spring weddings, as shown above.

Slàinte is like “Cheers!” and literally means “health.” Its a great way to incorporate some Gaelic into the reception and of course pints of Guinness  with shamrocks!

Brilliant Blue

Blue flowers unfortunately do not exist in abundance in nature. Using blue accents are a great way to bring in the beautiful color.

Beautiful Bouquets

Are you looking to carry something fabulous on your wedding day? Of course you are!  Take a look at these fabulous bouquets featured on Style Me Pretty for inspiration!  

For a country chic wedding this bouquet wrapped in burlap and wooden buttons are perfect!

For those lucky brides getting married in May and June and can have peonies, we always recommend them...and lot of them!

If you want to feel like you picked some wildflowers from a garden this bouquet has the whimsical/easy feel you are looking for.

White & green are your classic, never go out of style, wedding colors. Perfect for any wedding and any bride.

Looking to add something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue into your bouquet? You can use lace from your Grandmother ( maybe she has some left from her bouquet or wedding dress), any shade of of blue you like, your flowers of course are new, & add a broach to the stems that you've borrowed from your future mother-in-law! Voilà! 4 sentiments all rolled into one!

Did you love Princess Diana's cascading bouquet? Then you'll love this modern take with just phalaenopsis orchids!

And one of our own bride's bouquet, featuring disco roses and peacock feathers created by Rebekah at Bergner & Johnson.

Behold BHLDN

In a little over a month from now BHLDN, Anthropologie's bridal collection is coming to Houston and setting up shop in Highland Village! We can't wait until the store opens on August 18th. Take a look why....

A fantastic way to personalize your drinks for the evening!

Everyone always purchases their cake & knife server, but these forks pave the way for a new tradition!

At $1,200 this Panes of Lace gown is stunning and affordable!!!

The back of the dress, the detailing is exquisite.

This kerchief is a wonderful way to ask your MOH and they have bridesmaids one too!

The Duchess

Over here we were in awe of how Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge looked flawless every single time she stepped out  for a public engagement on her 1st tour of Canada and the USA. True to Belle of the Ball form, all of us chose our favorite outfits that she wore and hoping we can purchase them! Not to mention, for any Bride to Be out there, if you are looking for a classic/elegant style for your rehearsal dinner or shower dresses, look no further than the Duchess!

Marissa's favorite style. She wore this one of her first days on the tour and it was stunning. We have already seen copies of this dress at Banana Republic and French Connection.

Natalie's favorite and don't be surprised if she comes to one of your weddings wearing a fascinator!

Valerie's favorite style. This dress is perfect for any formal occasion and blue makes it so much more fun than an LBD.

Christine's favorite is this DVF dress that was under $500! You've got to love it when Royalty wears clothes that are within reach of us commoners! 

Chelsea's favorite and we all agreed it was stunning. French Connection has a strapless dress like this right now.

Emily's favorite, which Kate wore twice! She just added the jacket to make the outfit look so Jackie O! 

Alia's favorite dress that Kate wore while visiting Prince Edward island. The vintage style dress she wore is a perfect example that going outside your comfort zone with fashion is a good thing!
