*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!

*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!)

*The earthy element of wood found in the form of Adesso‘s chunky necklace is quite charming.
*Chips and dip can be glamorous when presented properly! Nambe‘s Dharma Chip & Dip Bowl brings you pommes chips et immersion française d’oignon! I told you it would class it up!!
*Reminiscent of the leaves on a tree is ban.dō‘s no. 60 headband. What a cute way to accessorize the maids!

Dress of the Day: Enmanüel Couture ’2122′

While perusing Enmanuel Couture‘s website, I came across the beauty of the ‘2122‘ from their 2009 collection. Although there is no 2010 collection posted, the prior years’ collections are definitely worthy of a look!
