Today I am inspired by Ann Frances and pinecones. Between pinecone bouquets and favors you’ll have a beautiful winter inspired wedding. Romantic candles and twinkle lights are a must to give your wedding a fairy tale look.

What I love about pinecones is that it provides different elements to your wedding, so don’t be shy to add splashes of winter color into your design. From deep purples to baby blues, you can find the perfect color palette for your wedding.

When I was a little girl I woke up early to watch Princess Diana marry Prince Charles. That’s when my love affair with weddings started. As the world buzzes about Prince William and Kate Middleton’s engagement I can’t help but be inspired today by the woman who is set to become the most famous woman in the world.

From the very beginning I waited on pins and needles for Prince William to propose. Well, maybe it wasn’t pins and needles, but I really wanted to see them get married. Kate is full of style and grace, and she and Prince William look so great together. Everyday I watch the news to hear the latest details emerge about the wedding and I can’t help but get more excited about their spring nuptials.

April 29, 2011 they will marry at Westminster Abbey in front of billions of people and all I can think about is what will she be wearing? I would love to see an elegant, modern, and simple wedding. I would love to see her wear British designer Ben de Lisi and have a black and white color palette. I instantly fell in love with the couture gown Ben de Lisi designed with a twisted and torn silk tulle torso with ruched sleeves and a full skirt.

We won’t know until the wedding day what her gown will look like, but until then we can be inspired by all the small details that emerge.

Today I’m inspired by the Vineyard Collection at Priscilla of Boston. The detachable asymmetrical wrap shawl will make this gown a fall favorite. Paired with your classic fall wedding its perfect for DIY weddings. And don’t forget the DIY photo booth with props, it will be a guest favorite.

The romantic rose petal aisle with floating candles is a must! You can find similar candles holders and vases at Luna Bazzaar.

TGIF!

Its the simplicity of the designs that I love. Today I’m inspired by Aire Barcelona and the color red. Fall is in the air and even though I’m not fully ready for fall I still love weddings that embrace fall colors.

Here’s to the fall T.V. season, Sunday football, the leaves changing, and all the great Holidays that fall brings us.

Today I’m inspired by Pronovias. Their gowns are elegant, stylish, and go so well with pink and brown! With little hints of green a pink and brown wedding is to die for. As with most weddings, I love how you can match your colors right down to your food and drinks.

Signature cocktails are always a MUST at any wedding and don’t forget to have a his and hers drink!
