Wedding Blog - it’s a bride’s life - real brides blogging ’til “I do!”

Look Amazing, Feel Beautiful..while being affordable.

That is what I strive for with my David Tutera Embellish Collection.  Whether it’s with color, jewelry with bright ribbons that tie around the neck, freshwater pearls, or just a lot of bling, there is something for every woman and every piece is both affordable and stylish.

Fashion is not complete until it is accessorized from head to toe.

I can’t begin to tell you how much I love my parents and how involved that they have been during this whole wedding journey. My dad is an extra special person; he is a proud loving dad. How could I ever find a gift that would show him how thankful I am? I have been looking for a gift for some time now and I haven’t found my mom’s gift yet, but I think I have narrowed down an idea for a gift for my dad. I want to make or buy him father of the bride cufflinks to wear with his tux. I have seen some really cute ones online and Youtube has a few videos with instructions on how to make your own custom ones. I love the idea of making them really personalized to our father and daughter relationship. I know he will love the fact that I thought of him on my busiest day. I can’t wait to have my dad walk me down the aisle. The thought warms my heart. I am still daddy’s little girl. I hope he likes the gift even though it’s just a token of my appreciation.

I have an obsession with the store Target… surely I’m not alone on this one, right?! Who knew that Target had a wedding/anniversary collection!  Check out some of the fun items they carry…

Are you looking for ways to incorporate the hottest trends into your wedding?  Look no further than the romantic design of ombre.  With its watercolor feel, it adds a simple charm to any décor, from the flowers to the wedding cake.  Varying shades of color allow this effortless concept to make a dramatic impression.

I am in love this with trend!  By sticking to graduated shades of the same color palette, ombre is a sophisticated way to give your big day a punch of excitement.  With its growing popularity in fashion and décor, I wouldn’t be surprised if you start to see ombre accents at many of the weddings you attend this year.  It’s simplistic yet awe inspiring, and perfect for any time of the year.  That’s why this trend is the perfect fit for almost any wedding theme.

An ombre wedding cake makes a feast for your eyes as well as your taste buds.
