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!

Lily Pulitzer brings a classy edge to the short and sweet ‘Lexie‘ gown. The scalloped edge of the hem coupled with the chic bow at the waist creates a truly feminine appeal!

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!)

Soft crushed taffeta is sculpted to beautifully hug your form on Ella Bridal‘s ‘5363.’ The gauzy exquisiteness of the jacket provides the elegant finishing touch.

“Wood” You Be Mine

*Chart the guests who attended your wedding with a clever wedding tree genealogy of all of the wonderful people who made your day so special!
*The simplicity of the sketch is what is so appealing about the ‘Sweet Sketch‘ invitation suite from the Wedding Paper Divas. You Go Girls!
*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!

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!

School Days in Wedding Ways

*Pencils can be used as favors or as save-the-dates for your upcoming nuptials. These fun, flirty pencils send the right message!
*How in the world could classic from literary icon Charles Dickens be wedding inspiring? Because that is not a book but a smart little clutch from Kate Spade!
*Chalk it up to Etsy to have the ideal way to identify your reception tables!
*If only every teacher could get an apple as fragrant as the one containing the classic scent of Nina Ricci.
*Chewing the Cud makes the grade with a suite of School Days’ inspired invitations. They deserve an A+ for their efforts!

*Maggie Sottero‘s Coco is shown above.
