If you are looking for a truly custom, one of a kind invitation, look no further than ABCD Designs Papercupp! These gorgeous invitations were custom designed to resemble a vintage demask fabric using pink and silver metallic foil stamping. My favorite part is the adorable “Eat, Drink and be Married’ belly band that ties the whole invitation together. They are so pretty that they are like little gifts to your guests! Papercupp is located in NYC, but thanks to modern technology, you too can have access to this fabulous invitation designer! GoRgEoUs!

We have all seen the customized M&M’s, but now there are Sweethearts Conversation Wedding Hearts! Just in time for Spring 2009 Weddings! Choose between white, pink or yellow or they sell a combination of all three. They come with thirty different wedding day sayings such as “I Do”, “Just Married”, and “Mr & Mrs”, just to give you a few. These also happen to be one of my favorite candies…well actually I love candy corn during Halloween…who am I kidding, I love ALL candy year round!

I finally got a few candid pictures to share with you of Mr. & Mrs. Denier’s wedding day! They were married on 10.04.08 in Cape May, NJ. Congratulations…what a beautiful wedding party and how adorable is this church???

Just when you thought you had seen it all, Melangerie does it again! These ladies are AWESOME. They have just launched an amazing line of wedding genealogy charts that detail how the bride and groom are connected to each of their wedding guests!!! These charts come in three different designs: a modern aesthetic (six degrees of the bride & groom), a traditional aesthetic (wedding lineage) or an illustrative design (wedding tree seen below). And of course they will customized the charts to match your wedding colors! What a wonderful treat for your guests as they chat and mingle during the cocktail hour!

Not sure if I shared these with you or not yet, but I found my bride bags at Jolie Femme in Del Mar, and now you can get yours too at MyBridesmaidsGifts. If you are still looking for the perfect gift for your bridesmaids, these are SOOOO cute! They are sold in sets of three’s so you can fill each one with your bridesmaids favorite treats. I still use mine six months later!

Marked Event is seriously your one stop shop to create a theme to be carried throughout your entire celebration! While planning my wedding, I spent hours upon hours hunting for items that matched my color scheme. I never knew I could get everything from the napkins, coasters, OOT bags, favors, AND invitations all from the same place. The Silhouette theme below is one of the most popular themes for Spring 2009! It is SOOOO cute! These are just a few of the items you can “mark” with Marked Event. You have got to check them out…there are TONS of already made “marks” and items that you can customize, but they also do completely custom orders as well. Enjoy!

Melangerie has done it again! This was done in lieu of a traditional guestbook for a wedding. I think it would be a fun idea for an engagement party so you could also have a traditional guestbook. I myself had a polaroid giftbook as well as a Guestbook Store guestbook and it was a bit much to ask of our guests in the same day. Luckily, we have awesome friends who did both for us! Just had to share another awesome original idea from Melangerie NYC!

LINDSEY & BRAD’S DIRTY LAUNDRY

This alternative wedding guest book encouraged guests to “air out” the
bride and groom’s dirty laundry.

Instructions inscribed on a detergent bottle prompted guests to write
funny stories about Lindsey & Brad on cards shaped like shirts, pants,
socks, etc. Guests then clipped the cards to the “clothesline,” which
was strung at the reception entryway.

Melangerie is currently in the process of designing a memory book with these
cards so notes from Lindsey & Brad’s guests will never fade away.

Ok ladies…how many of you are having a bridal shower with a sweet treat theme? Check out these dessert towels by Le Viette. They are designed to resemble real desserts!
