He Loves Me ‘Knot,’ He Loves Me

*Save-the-dates that incorporate the idea of tying the knot with elegant simplicity from Sierra Print Shop on Etsy.
*Urban Posh‘s Love Knot necklace is a sweet way to say thanks to your gals and to show them that they will always be connected to you.
*A knot around the neck that is preppy sharp.
*Wrap your maids’ waists in a knotted sash on Monique Lhuillier‘s ’0904′ bridesmaid dress. I’m ‘knot’ lying; this dress is chic!
*Of course he loves you, but you’ll hope you pull a petal that gets you  J. Crew‘s Love Me Knot shoes!

Rehearsal Dinner | Teske’s Germania Restaurant in San Jose

At this time of year, my mind wanders to thoughts of Oktoberfest. Tasty sausages, hearty beers and delectable desserts. If German food and fun sounds like a great way to celebrate your rehearsal dinner Teske’s Germania Restaurant in San Jose looks like an über place to begin. The beer garden is a laid back locale to bring together friends and family. Teske’s Germania Restaurant is located at 255 North 1st Street, San Jose. Call 408.292.0291 to answer your inquiries.

Flower Power

Summer ain’t over yet! Take time to enjoy the flowers.

*The power of the flower goes a long way on Jim Hjelm Occasions‘s ‘JH 5067.’
*Serve your spouse cuisine with a flourish using nesting bowls from The Spoon Sisters.
*Are you wanting to add a pleasant flowery accent to your gown without going overboard? Loren Hope‘s necklace is divine.
*Whimsical charm crowns the flower girl’s dainty head with this sweet headband from Layla Grayce.
*Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, but DO eat off of plates from French Bull that will put a smile on your face. (Even if the meatloaf doesn’t!)
