Wedding Postage!

If you share a love for beautiful stationary & invitations, then I assume postage is just as important! I came across some cute postage and had to share!

I am currently loving these purple pansies!

The traditional wedding cake...elegant and modern..

I think the "King and Queen of Hearts" is cute!

When we were deciding which way to go with our postage we decided to create our own! We also wanted to include our Little Man... click HERE for the story! Below is a picture of how they turned out! I made the "42" light green to match our invites!! We created them over at Zazzle.

Speaking of pups...animals...I FINALLY got my "Adopt a Shelter Pet" postage! These pets were once homeless and now have a safe & loving home :)

Sooo hurry off to your post office and snatch up some pretty postage!!

An East Coast Photographer

I came across Aesthetic Life Studio's blog a couple of weeks ago when I found some pictures of a wedding he covered at Liberty Mountain! (that's where we tied the knot) I came across these beautiful photos and had to share!

I am *LOVING* the bride's gown!

How angelic....she could float across the floor!

If you live in PA, MD, DC, WV or VA check out Aesthetic Life Studios! They are also available for destination weddings! Hop on over to their facebook page and become a fan!

Support OPI

So, yes I am that girl who always has her nails painted...It's "ME" time....I enjoy every single minute of my pedi/mani :D But I enjoy it even more when I can support a cause at the same time! For the past two years OPI has created a nail polish to support Lung Cancer. They have made a nice donation to the Lung Cancer Foundation of America! So, go and pick up a bottle and wear this adorable polish to show your support!

On another note, I am currently loving these lines of pink! Perfect for any bride!! On my wedding day I sported a pretty pink polish on my toes!

Not sure how these colors would look on? Hop on over to OPI's site where you can play around with all the colors! Click on "try on this color." I know some colors are a bit too "wild" or just not your style..but you may be surprised! I went with a blue/green color last week...it took me a while to get used to but I ended up loving it and got tons of compliments. I took a picture for proof :D In the end, you simply can't go wrong with a french manicure!

I hope everyone had a fun Monday!! I just found out
Betty White is hosting SNL this weekend!!

Mother's Day

I came across this nifty idea..over at Catching Fireflies... My Mother loves a good glass of wine and entertains often at her home... When I came across these wine glass top appetizer plates..I added it to the "possible gift" list.

Baby Shower Number 2!

I was sooo excited for today to come! The 2nd baby shower was held today at the HT Grill in Redondo Beach, Ca. It was absolutely adorable! Everything was planned and designed around the baby invitation... I was obsessed with all the details and snapped away!

The entrance was soo inviting! I loved how they placed brown and blue dots on the ground...they even said "Maxwell" on them. What a cute name!

There were tables outside and inside...again notice the dots!

Each place setting had a small flower with a name card. The tiny flowers smelled really good!

The M&M's said, "Max" & "Maxwell." Loving the cute ribbon!

The theme carried throughout the room. Loving those balloons! I wanted to take one and run!

Mmm the berry parfait was ahhh-mazing! Fresh berries with lemon curd!

Some baby babble was played...

photos taken by ME, please refer to East Coast Wedding if re-posting

The soon to be Daddy came a little later towards the end of the party...he loved some of the gifts!

Here I am with the two mom's to be! (I'm on the left!)

I have had such a good time these past two weekends with my friends! In just weeks we will have two new babies!! I can't wait to meet Sophia & Maxwell!

A Picnic with Props!

As many of you know I am a huge fan of props during a photo shoot! I had plenty for our wedding...and tied up a quick bouquet for our Forever After shoot... It just adds a nice touch to a picture...So, when I saw some of these beautiful shots from Jordana at Hazelnut Photography..I simply had to share. Click pictures to enlarge.

Add a basket of flowers! So, simple and perfect! It kinda tells a story..

Throw on a colorful scarf...especially when your photo site isn't very colorful...and you want to add a pop of color!

This bride to be went over to My Sweet & Saucy to snatch up a couple of beautiful cookies!

Simple signs... Novio! & Novia! (boyfriend, girlfriend)

May absolute favorite....prop...these simple flowers & mini cupcakes... Lets have a picnic! I am also loving the picnic cloth.

Favorite picture below!! Looks like it came right out of a magazine.
