I was just browsing one of my fave online shopping sites Piperlime,and saw that they have a pretty awesome wedding shoe collection. These are just a few of my favorites, but they have shoes in all heights and colors…and you can’t beat free shipping and free returns! Enjoy!
I think these might be the most creative wedding invitations I have seen to date…and I LOVE them! Check out the Lollipop Events & Designs blog for more.
A few months ago, I was sent a complimentary copy of Elizabeth Gilbert’s book “Committed”. I have to admit that I had heard all of the hoopla about her previous book “Eat, Pray, Love” but never really had any interest in reading it until I saw the previews of the movie being made featuring Julia Roberts. I am sad to admit that I do not get around to enjoying a good book too often. When I lived in NYC, I used to relish reading books on the subway to and from work (of course unless there was some really good entertainment walking through the carts). I read more books in my year and a half in NYC than I have in my entire lifetime being a CA native. So when I finally got around to opening my new book, I started with the Note to Readers. I was immediately hooked. I am going out today to purchase “Eat, Pray, Love” so I can start her journey from the beginning.

I am such a fan of these adorable diy tin can floral arrangements!!! If we ever get our house, you can bet I am going to have these lining my housewarming dinner party table! Such a cute idea for an outdoor wedding!!! Be sure and stop by the I DO it Yourself blog for many many more inspirational DIY ideas!
I came across this adorable video over on the Story Board Brides blog. I’m guessing that Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours” was probably 2009’s top wedding song. This little guy would have been a hit at any wedding! Cute!

Getting engaged is one of the MOST exciting times for a girl. I remember how special I felt on the day of my bridal shower. It is something I will remember for the rest of my life. So when I read this story, I teared up a bit thinking how lucky I am that I had both of my grandmothers there with me that day. I am a sucker for anything sentimental and I thought the teacup tradition was so special that I might make my best friends throw a teacup exchange party for my birthday. This way we could use our teacups as an excuse to get together more often. So, my question for you is…did your grandmother/mother/best friend carry on a tradition in your honor?
