The Pilot and I surely met in a bar thanks to two great friends (who happen to be our maid of honor and best man), but this isn’t about us.
This bride and groom met at a local hot spot here in town, The Dubliner. So, on their wedding day, photographer Clary Pfeiffer snapped a few shots of them visiting the place that started it all.

I love a good “opposite” color combo when it comes to wedding parties. There is something about the bride carrying a colorful bouquet that just really pops against her white gown. It’s even more gorgeous when it is a dramatic combo such as black and white. Midnight callas are so pretty.

We have a two-for-one today!

Shauna Younge of Shauna Younge Dessert Tables sent me another great dessert table she designed. This time, she avoided the tradition reds and pinks associated with Valentine’s Day, and instead used a palette of pinks and blues to create a fun-loving and chic table set-up. It may be early in the morning, but this table sure does make me hungry!

It’s no secret that purple is the color I chose as the “it” color for this year, so of course I love this palette. It’s one of those that looks great at any time of the year.

When I first saw these on iDIY, I assumed they were printed just like Miss Cowboy Boot’s map.



I mean, the yellow is rich and the detail looks great. I was pretty sure they were screen printed, or maybe even Gocco’ed. But, better yet, they were printed at the bride’s home, on her ink jet printer. Wha?! Yeah, that’s right.

By using a technique that involves ironing freezer paper to the back of the handkerchief, you can print directly on fabric using your ink jet printer (so long as it is not water resistant).
You can visit the bride’s blog for more details.
How is that not the sweetest thing?

Go ahead, call me crazy on this one, but I have always loved colored wedding gowns (See: Colored Wedding Gowns).
When Jose Villa posted these pictures from a recent shoot he collaborated with Once Wed and other amazing vendors on, I had some serious big puffy heart love going on. While most of you (well, I’m assuming most of you) think this is pretty “dark,” I find the gown quite romantic and chic.

Any brides out there having a backyard or outdoor soiree? Well, not that I have your attention, let me tell you something: You need to do this. Right now. How romantic is the set-up with the tree? Not only will it give off a great radiant and romantic light, but there is something so charming about it.
