a few of our favorite things

Our list of favorite things grows daily, but today here’s a few things we think are just great…

Rosebud Salve {a lip gloss/chapstick}, sold at Fleur de Lis, a paperie, $7

Decorative Plaques, Ben’s Garden, sold at Fleur de Lis, a paperie, $50-$100

I’m buying this one for my fabulous girlfriends…and of course for my daughter’s room…e-mail Jenna at paperie@fleurdelisdtc.com to buy one, or just stop in.

Ring Bear Bowl, Paloma’s Nest
{These ring bear bowls are the perfect shower gift or wedding gift…such a unique alternative to a ring bear pillow. I’ve also customized a tiny text bowl with: with this ring and the couple’s wedding date and name. Be sure to check out their other creative gift ideas…also available on etsy.}

wine-o

I admit, I am a total wine-o. Red…almost always {gotta have that resveratrol}. Italian…almost always.

It’s double fun for me because after I’m finished with the bottle of wine, the DIY projects are endless. I was inspired to do a wine post when I saw Jacey’s {Damsel in Dior} adorable DIY wine labels she made as favors. Loved it girl. Read her full tutorial here.
Candle holders, Remodelista
Cork Monograms

DIY Wine Bottle Centerpiece, Ruffled

Wine Bottle Candles, Wedding Bee

Chalkboard Wine Bottles, Bottle Your Brand

Wine Bottle Torch, read full tutorial at Design Sponge

Wine Bottle Lamps, visit Remodelista for tutorial and tips

Lights Inside a Wine Bottle, Wit and Whistle

This wine bottle shelf is not practical in my home with kids {maybe on a smaller scale}, but cool to look at.
Cheers!

beautified

We all have to wait for Jenna Walker’s professional photos of Jodi and Drew’s unforgettable wedding day…Jenna, I know they are going to be extraordinary!

But, today we have a sneak peek of the beautiful bride and her lovely maids during wedding day prep. {Just wait until you see Jodi in her dress – THE most stunning dress. The bridesmaids brightened the room with their Jenny Yoo dresses too…to be continued} 

 
Everyone was treated like princesses with hair and make-up by only the BEST. Kristina Porreco and Aldo Celeste – not only are they both talented, they are so fun…I highly recommend them.

Kristina, also a pretty bridesmaid, worked her magical hands on Jodi and mother of the bride, Julie’s, hair.

And, Aldo, our favorite {and most gorgeous} make-up man, made us all look like models. Sorry ladies…he’s taken. 
Here’s the sister trio with our beautiful mom.

Let’s not forget our handsome dad with all the ladies. Lucky guy!

walk down the aisle

Happy Fashion Friday!

So being the shoe-aholic that I am, and this being the week my sister is getting married, I found it appropriate for a wedding shoe post!

When I was looking for wedding shoes, I found myself going towards the unconventional – not the white, “typical” wedding shoes that I seemed to find everywhere (not that there is anything wrong with typical wedding shoes). I went for 2 pairs of shoes – 1 new (Valentino) for my new dress, and the other I had in my closet (Bakers) that I wore with my grandmother’s dress. My black and white, winter, old-fashioned wedding lended itself to just that for shoes – black and white, winter, old fashioned.

I say that if you want to wear blue shoes on your wedding day (for your “something blue”) … do it! If you want beautiful Cinderella sparkly shoes … do it! I have been seeing some unique wedding shoes {see the pink pumps below} perfect for a garden wedding. It is your day and you need to feel unique and special in your dress, shoes, and skin.

There are a couple shoes from Nordstrom that I love for a wedding dress! Whether your wedding is summer, spring, fall, or winter – you can find a shoe that fits your wedding day, dress, and personality. Keep looking. I know it can be tiring, but stick in there! You found your soul mate … now find your sole mate 🙂

Happy Shoe Shopping!

OH … and A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my hubby William today 🙂 … you are still the love of my life after our first date, today, 10 years ago.
