Wedding Day Breakfast


You already know that it's important to sit down for breakfast on the morning of your wedding -- but did you know that eating certain foods can actually help you relax? With that in mind, treat your bridesmaids to a simple preceremony brunch of proven nerve calmers: Blueberries and orange juice are rich in vitamin C, which has been shown to reduce stress; the live cultures in yogurt can help settle an upset stomach; whole-wheat toast is full of vitamin B, which helps ease anxiety; and chamomile tea promotes relaxation. The only thing missing? A few sips of bubbly.


Great Tip from Martha Stewart Weddings

Under The Big Top

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day! My mom and I spent the day at the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco along with my fiancé and my dad. My whole family are huge Disney fans and love learning about the history of it all. Dumbo was Disney's fourth full length movie and I am sure everyone remembers what it was about. It is one of my favorite Disney movies (though it is impossible to choose just one) and was my favorite ride a Disneyland as a kid.

When trying to think of a theme for my inspiration board this week, I wanted to do something Disney though not the obvious Cinderella/princess wedding with a huge ballgown and tiara. Although beautiful, its been done. I began thinking of Disney's early movies and remembered the lovable baby elephant with the enormous ears that captured out hearts. Its a story about overcoming obstacles and believing in yourself and others. Great messages for the beginning of your life together and besides, isn't life just a big circus!

Starry Eyed

Does your fiancé make you starry eyed? Have a Heaven on Earth Wedding and go over the top glam with fairy lights everywhere. What a perfect theme for a midnight wedding on New Year's Eve! Say your I Dos in a planetarium or atop a hill under a canopy of stars.

Unleash your inner goddess in a Grecian inspired gown with lots of drama! Midnight black details like the wedding favor boxes and the black Calla lily bouquet, bring the darkness of the night sky. Make sure to brighten it back up with lots of bling!



Credits (Clockwise from upper left) - Astro Star Lamp, projects the heavens right into the room; Sisterhood Necklace, the constellation of Pleiades, or the seven sisters is a perfect bridesmaids gift; Goddess Gown; Star Covered Draped Ceiling, echo the night sky with hundred of fairy lights; Midnight Black Favor Boxes, go for the blackest of black; Black Calla Lily Bouquet, love the touch of bling in the wrap; SPARKLERS!, enough said; Wine Bottle Candles, unique and eco-friendly and what a way to drop some jaws!

Feeling Green!


Spent the afternoon planting lavender and daisy seeds for my centerpieces for my own wedding. A much greener option than cut flowers and Brook and I can plant them in our garden after the wedding and be reminded of our wedding day when they bloom year after year! Now let's just cross our fingers that I don't kill them before the wedding. I have already over watered the daisies and had to try and soak up the excess with towels. I don't have the greenest thumb but luckily I haven't killed a plant yet.

Green Wedding Dresses!

Ok so I don't mean green as in the color though there is something quite fetching about the idea of a bride gliding down the aisle in a beautiful emerald green gown. Kind of makes me think of something Arwen of Lord of the Ring would wear. Did she ever even wear green?

Anyway, back on topic! These stunning gowns by Chris Cole are every bit as elegant as a gown made of satin or organza yet all made of natural fibers like cotton, silk, and linen. There is a style to fit every bride, from classic to vintage, edgy to bohemian, so you can look amazing while still being kind to Mother Earth!
