I always love seeing local talent and when I got wind of Sareh Nouri recently, I was totally blown away — I mean, look at these jaw-dropping designs!?

Well, if you are as in awe as I am, then you are in luck because Love Couture Bridal is hosting a trunk show this weekend!

If you need a little more eye candy to get through this dreary day, then here are even more lovely Sareh Nouri designs to enjoy…

Bride Blogger Update: Shoes

We are a bit out of order this week but are kicking off our Wednesday with a Bride Blogger update from Marybeth.  Last week we heard about cake, and today we get to hear about shoes – Fun!! I love all of the options that she has pulled – which one would you pick?

***

I have to confess I am a shoeaholic, so it should come as no surprise to those who know me that I have spent numerous hours online viewing potential wedding day shoes.

For some brides, shoes are one of the last items they think of, almost as an after thought.  Not for me.  I think the shoes are a key part of your overall wedding look and there are so many decision, color or no color, heel or wedge, strappy or peep toe…I could go on and on.

Instead of going on and on, I have compiled my favorite finds ranging from the more traditional pink and ivory BHLDN pairs to the preppy and colorful Kate Spade and J. Crew pairs.  I’ve saved mine to share at a later date as part of my overall look.  In the meantime I hope these spark some inspiration for you.

Bride Blogger Update: Little Ones

There are few things cuter in a wedding than including little ones…today, Marybeth shares her darling picks for her flower girls and ring bearer…

***

When most people think of a wedding party they think bride, groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen, but that leaves out the cutest part of a wedding party – the flower girl(s) and ring bearer.  James and I will have 3 flower girls, Emma, Kate and Tess; and 1 ring bearer, Jackson.  They are all siblings and we can’t wait to see them decked out for the wedding.

Once we had decided on colors and bridesmaid dresses, I was able to move on to outfitting my flowers girls and ring bearer.  Emma is the eldest girl at 8 years old and Kate and Tess are 3.  With the age difference, I thought it would be nice to have Emma wear a more “grown up” dress that showcased her head flower girl position.

Luckily, our color scheme of navy blue and pink lends itself to endless options for the flower girl dresses.  I started my search at Nordstrom and found Emma’s dress instantly, a gauzy white dress with a pink bow and pink petals.  For Kate and Tess, I found a pretty pink dress with an empire waist and a full skirt.
