I fell in love with this wedding shot by Stephanie Williams one design element after another. First, it was the paper products. Then I saw the bridesmaid dresses. And then the wedding dress, which just so happens to be by my favorite designer, Pronovias! Then I discovered that the theme was yellow and gray, with accents of red. So I of course {swooned} over this wedding! It’s so casual and chic, and I just had to share it!

I am loving yellow, in case you couldn’t tell. And that veil is amazingly gorgeous! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it! {Twinge of jealousy}

Gorgeous work Stephanie!

Well my friends, Fall is coming! The first cold front of the season has arrived in Florida today, and that means…temperatures in the 80s! If you follow my tweets, I’m sure you’ve seen how much I long for cooler weather. And trust me, the difference between 80 and 90 degrees is tremendous!

I made this inspiration board with the coming season of Fall on my mind. Red by itself is chic, and when it’s combined with brown, the two create a gorgeously elegant color palette.

Row 1: Dress, Decor, Flowers
Row 2: Bouquet, Invitations, Centerpiece
Row 3: Tables, Shoe Photo, Cake

Is anyone having a fall wedding this year or next year? What are your colors? I know at least one of my readers is having one in October! I can’t wait for it!

I wanted to share an array of Do-It-Yourself favor ideas that would be good for a wedding, bridal shower, or even a bachelorette party! Just remember, when considering DIY, definitely think of how many guests you will have. Baking cookies for 250 people would not be considered fun a few days before your wedding! {Click on links for the tutorials}

These DIY favors can be used for the packaging to go along with a Candy Bar. With a candy bar, you’ll be able to “kill two birds with one stone” with the added decor of the candy bar along with the favor of the candy!
