Carnival Style Inspiration
Strolling the boardwalk stirs up memories of whole days spent at play, carousels and tasty treats. That carnival of whimsy, color, and decadent food is marvelous inspiration for a wedding! Set the scene with bright hues, fun flavors, and sweet sassy (eco fabulous) style.

Beachy Bridesmaids
The summer ceremony you’re planning involves sand between your toes and the surf just steps away. You’ve got your eco-friendly bridal gown all squared away, but finding something casual, fun, and green for your girls has been a challenge.
With a little digging, sustainable styles abound. Some offer cute, wearable, fair trade bridesmaid dresses, while others create versatile convertible gowns that flatter every shape. No matter what you choose, your ladies (and the environment) will thank you!

Styled for Summer
Your summer wedding is fast approaching and your hair is still a mystery. Sure, you have vague notions of flowers, sparkle and maybe shells (as an homage to your beachy ceremony). But there’s a toss up as to whether it’ll be an updo, long and flowy, or a little of both.
Don’t worry! We’re here to help with a few summer styles that will hopefully inspire you to commit…to your ‘do.

Chalkboard Weddings
Now that summer is upon us, it’s time to break out those chalkboards again! Yes, we know that summer is year round in some places. However, some unlucky folks (like us) have to wait for spring to dare even think about having an outdoor wedding! Chalkboards are perfect for saving time, money and paper (and you can reuse the chalkboard in your new home!)! Here are a few lovely ideas from your engagement party to your wedding day with chalkboard style!
What are some of your ideas?
