A New Send Off!

Sparklers...might just be a thing in the past..Have you heard of Chinese Sky Lanterns? As I was looking at Cameron Igalls Inc., I came across the wedding of Jeremy and Ana Cristina. They decided to light several multi colored Chinese lanterns with their guests. Take a look...

Photography: Cameron Igalls, Inc.

A little info on these lanterns.. They are 99-100% biodegradable and made of flame resistant paper. They come in several colors and designs. I found prices ranging from $3.50 to 4.25 depending on the volume purchased.

Here are some helpful websites for more information and ordering

From Soaps to Real Life..

Do you watch General Hospital? I've been a loyal fan since the early 90s! This week is Brenda and Sonny's wedding and I must say...I'm loving Brenda's dress and the pale pink accents.. I posted a mini clip from the show. 

Brenda's beautiful gown is by Oscar De La Renta. It is ever so dreamy...

It is an embroidered guipure strapless gown with a pale pink silk taffeta draped bow.

Guipure means, "heavy large pattern decorative lace."

I personally got inspiration from General Hospital when character Kate Howard was getting married. I loved her reception dress and actually came across it over at BCBG Maxazria. You can read more over here. It was my reception dress and  it was also the dress I chose to wear for our Forever After session.

Wedding inspiration can come from anywhere!

House of Harlow

Nicole Ritchie has come out with a gorgeous line of jewerly and headpieces called House of Harlow 1960. My friend purchased one for her Hawaii wedding and it just added an extra special detail! It looked gorgeous on her, especially with the beautiful scenery of Hawaii in the background!  See below.

Here is a picture from our mini mock up shoot. You can see it a bit better in this close up shot.

Personalized Hanger, A Gift

For Christmas I purchased a personalized wedding hanger for my soon to be SIL! I went thru Lila Frances and it took a little over two months to receive it in the mail! So if you are interested they will begin to take orders on February 1st! Plan early Ladies :) 

Here is a quick picture of the happy couple soon after she opened her gift!

Please Note! The hanger can not handle a heavy dress as it may bend. So test it first prior to your big day! Many brides have opted to use it for jewerly and/or shoes to display the hanger. Nonetheless, it's an affordable detail to add that little personalization to anyone's big day!
