In my own planning process, St. Louis lacked a little direction for the bridesmaid. While there are tons of fabulous bridal stores in town, there was one thing missing:

But, have no fear, this fabulous bridesmaid chain will be debuting in St. Louis this October in Town & Country. And, what will you find?
Alix & Kelly

Simple Silhouettes

Lula Kate

Plus, you’ll find bridesmaids dresses by Priscilla of Boston, Melissa Sweet, Thread, Jenny Yoo, twobirds, Cynthia Rowley and Lela Rose. And, accessories from Nelle and M. Flynn Accessories.
The fabulous (and adorable, might I add) owner, Carrie, is so excited to bring this boutique to St. Louis. And, granted my wedding is next month, you can bet I’ll be popping in on occasion to check out the new shop and the latest bridesmaid styles.
Man, Jeffrey & Julia Woods, have you have brought the goods twice in the same month. Loving this sparkly goodness. Yum.

Yes cake. Oh, boy I can barely contain myself here.

Now, whether this cake actually takes like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup is beyond me, but a girl can dream, right?
I’ll admit, it’s the first I had heard of this when thumbing through the latest post on my own photographer‘s blog, but when I thought about it, I was really drawn to the idea. A ring warming ceremony.

A tradition in which the wedding bands are tied together, and then passed along to the wedding party, family and friends. As it passes from one person to the next, each “warms” the rings with a prayer or a blessing.
