This Vanilla Blackberry-Mascarpone Cake from Sweetapolita is both visually perfect and sounds absolutely delicious. I've always loved a wedding cake that isn't trying too hard to be a wedding cake. The gradual ombré look of the cake could also work with any wedding or party color scheme, but the . . . Read the Post
Tuesday Shoesday
Any shoe with feathers is an instant friend of mine, but what really got me was the gorgeous shade of purple. I don't think a more perfect warm Winter wedding color exists. The details: this is the Badgley Mischka Ginnie heel in violet suede. Via Style Me Pretty // Photography: Laura Murray . . . Read the Post
Dress of the Week
After featuring an inspiration board full of lush winter berry tones, it wasn't much of a stretch to feature this gorgeous (and unusual) dip-dyed velvet and lace dress. Plus, the bride looks like Belle from a real-life version of Beauty and the Beast - even her dress looks something right out of a . . . Read the Post
Inspiration Board: Winter Berry
I am loving these deep jewel-toned colors, especially for winter weddings. The flowers - anemones, ranunculuses, tea roses, red and viburnum berries, a lush navy or royal purple invitation, a dark chocolate cake topped with sugared cranberries, spiced liquor to toast and a cool glass of raspberry . . .

Fall’s Jewel Tone Nail Polish Picks
Admittedly, I'm a fan of Fall because I have an excuse to wear tights and cardigans once again. (That's not to say that I don't wear them most of the Summer, but once Fall has arrived, I get fewer bizarre looks as I chill on the beach in tweed.) And though Summer is still hanging on, every fashion . . . Read the Post
Mismatched Bridesmaid Fashion
The colors of this wedding are fantastic: plum, nude, peach, taupe, and grey. They're also delicate enough to work in any season - Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. And the fashion itself - I am SO in love. Each bridesmaid rocks a very vintage, very chic variation, using the wedding's warm color . . . Read the Post
Dress of the Week
This beautiful lace dress was actually designed and hand-made for the bride. The dress is elegant, detailed in all the right ways, and completely memorable. The bride is also completely beautiful and has me thinking about taking my hair two shades darker. I swear I'd love to look like Snow . . . Read the Post
Dress of the Week
I love this week's dress of the week all the more because it's homemade. As an avid sewer and dressmaker, it came as no surprise that the bride, Suzannah, would make her own wedding dress. Her vintage-inspired gown, a layered gray tulle tea length (midi) number is just stunning, and perfectly . . . Read the Post
Inspiration: Gothic Rose
After my post on black wedding dresses, I got to thinking about how much I love a luxe gothic-inspired wedding. And as a great gothic color palette, I love slates, greys, and deep plums and purples. Images via: Rock 'n Roll Bride // 100 Layer Cake // Tumblr // Pinterest . . . Read the Post
Inpired By Sunset + Donuts
The title of this post summed up = I need a vacation. Also, in attempting to name this color palette, I was thinking something lovely, like "salmon + blueberry" or "sunset + lavender", but really, it's pink + purple. And I like it. Those incredible-looking donuts sound just as amazing once you . . . Read the Post
Shades of Salmon + Purple
I'm going to title this color palette something lovely, like "salmon + blueberry" or "sunset + lavender", but really, it's pink + purple. And I like it. Those incredible-looking donuts sound just as amazing once you hear what they're made of -- they are actually homemade baked (feeling skinny . . . Read the Post
Chocolate Lavender Shortbread
They look amazing - don't they? Leah of Freutcake provided this perfect recipe while guest blogging on Jess' blog, Forgiving Martha. I've promoted (and swooned) over the use of lavender before, and these perfect chocolate-dipped lavender shortbread cookies fit right into my pro lavender (and . . . Read the Post
Inspiration: Lavender
I'm a big fan of lavender. The flowers double as a florals for centerpieces, bouquets, etc., but they also smell amazing and dry well for sachets, keepsakes, and more. Plus, a lavender bouquet or centerpiece is a far more affordable option than many other flowers, but because of it's bold . . . Read the Post
