Project Wedding Blog
It’s that time of week again! Here are some of our editor’s favorite boards and ideas that you may have missed: 13 Family and Friend Poses – Because every bride needs a photo sharing a kiss with her dad, hugging her mom, in between her best friends or siblings, and with the entire group of guests from above. DIY Spring Boutonnieres – Do not fear — making these rose, solidago, and monte carlo boutonnieres are actually one of the easiest do-it-yourself projects to tackle for a fraction of the price. Bonus!
Oh Joy!
I'm excited to announce the launch of the Oh Joy for Nod kids' bedding and decor collection! Inspired by Ruby and her transition to a big girl room, the collection is a limited-edition bedding and home decor line for kids. It includes baby, toddler, and kids' bedding, pillows, lamps, plush toys, rugs, and a curated collection of art to go with it all. The Sundae Best collection is inspired by Ruby's favorite food—ice cream—and how fun it would be to sleep surrounded by your favorite treat. I wanted to create an abstracted version of ice cream with sprinkle sheets and a cone-inspired pattern on the duvet. Topped with the ice cream cone and cherry pillows, it's seriously what my dreams are made of.
inspiring your wedding, with love
Just before Christmas I received an email from the team behind Brides The Show, asking if I wanted to get involved as an ‘Official Blogger Ambassador’. Of course to be associated with one of the UK’s top wedding shows is a complete honour, but Brides is just another level! I love that they pick only the most stylish, dedicated suppliers to exhibit, and partner with incredible brands (Laurent Perrier, anyone?!) to offer their brides something different. Brides The Show is more than just a room filled with (very beautiful) exhibitor stands, but wants you to get involved too, with live demonstrations in the Imagination Room, chats with the experts On the Sofa and a not-to-be-missed catwalk curated by Brides very own Fashion Editor. Last year’s inaugral show created such a buzz, so needless to say Maxeen and I were excited to see what they had in store this year!
Bump Smitten: DIY Tutorial: Pomander Flower Balls
Originally seen on Pizzazzerie, this DIY tutorial from Paula of Frog Prince Paperie comes from the beautiful baby shower I featured not that long ago -- Pink Little Birdie. These flower balls are such an adorable decoration and they also looks pretty easy to make. You can customize yours by changing the paper, the punch and even the pins.

Bridal Style: Wedding Hair Key wedding trends for 2012 (Part1)
Today on Bridal Style I am talking hair, wedding hair and what I think is going to be BIG this year. Gone are the days when wedding hair is all about structure, intricate detailing and how much hair spray you can get on your head in one go. These days styles have gone loose, de constructed and a lot more relaxed, as weddings themselves become a lot less structured! I have been doing a bit of research myself for a shoot I am involved in next weekend, and have come across some beautiful styles………I have been getting major hair envy!

When we received the images from Kirstin and Jon’s wedding day we just couldn’t help to smile! What an amazingly colourful and innovative wedding! Being so full of playfulness, sassiness and delightful drama it is absolute eye candy for any DIY bride looking for ideas or inspiration. When seeing all the fun and decorative details of this wedding it was no surprise to us when we found out that Kirstin is an artist.
You Are My Fave
Brooklyn Bride - Modern Wedding Blog - Part 15
Save the Date: Tricia + Justin i made these save the dates for my upcoming wedding in berkeley, ca in august. i created the design with illustrator and then laser cut them on 1/16th inch plywood. i hand painted some with watercolors and left some unpainted to emphasize the material itself. i have additional photos i can send, as well as the actual save the dates if you would like to have one. mailing them was tricky because they are somewhat fragile so we sandwiched the between sage-y green museum board and chip board and tied them all together with a ribbon. as far as we’ve heard they all made it to everyone safe and sound! [image from Tricia] Save the Date: Kristen + Travis When my husband and I first got in engaged, it was right around thanksgiving and we ended up planning a November wedding. I wanted to make a save the date that was useful and unique.

spring 2012 top fashion trends: modern romance
Take classic elements like ruffles, florals, lace and peplums and apply them to shapes that are lean, geometric and exaggerated. It’s a gutsy yet glorious idea. The result is femininity that replaces dainty with drama.
Template Tuesday - Weeding
April showers bring May flowers. Or in my case, April weeds. I moved into my house almost 3 years ago and when I moved in, there wasn't a weed in sight.
Naturally Sweet DIY Valentine
Happy Monday everyone! For some reason Valentine’s Day really has a hold on me this year. I’ve always felt that you don’t need a fancy card or expensive gift to let someone know you love them. For me, it’s the little gestures that I always remember the most.
