A vintage typewriter can tie your vintage-style wedding together nicely. And what guest wouldn’t love to type a sweet note to the bride and groom on one of these beautiful typewriters.
Bonus: with a little searching, you can find a typewriter in nearly any color to match your wedding decor.

2010 brides are following the trends of 2009, but with more feminine details.
Expect to see pops of black on the gown – like this Vera Wang. Actually, many dresses in Vera Wang’s 2010 collection had a bit of black, typically as a sash or gloves.
The most popular 2010 wedding dress embellishments include:
Anything goes in 2010, with the exception of the basic strapless. A mix of details, folds or layers make dresses seem more artistic and anything but boring.
Brides will be wearing dresses that range from the traditional (floor length, with or without a train) to the mini-dress. Made popular in the last 3 years, short and mini wedding dresses are going to continue to be seen in 2010 – anything from retro-style dresses to super-sleek. If you choose a short or mini dress, make certain to invest in show-stopper shoes.
For bridesmaids and wedding accent colors, pink is super-popular in 2010, in hues ranging from blush to bubblegum, from dusty rose to fuchsia. Bridesmaids can also be seen in lavender, green and blue – popular colors from 2009.
Another top color for 2010 is orange – but brides beware. Orange looks good with a select few skintones, and can make the bride and her maids look a bit ill if the color is wrong.

I just discovered these sweet Phoebe Couture dresses on RueLaLa‘s final sale (it’s invite-only, so if you need an invite, click here), and had to share.
These Phoebe Couture dresses are normally $330 – on sale for $79. To see more Phoebe Couture on Neiman Marcus, click here.
Snap them up for all your maids for a multicolor dress look, or stick to one color, several styles.
LOVE THESE – in lime, aqua, pink and coral. But hurry, the sale ends on Thursday morning.

My groom wore a suit for our wedding, and we’ve noticed this trend with a LOT of weddings. It seems that, when the groom and his men wear ties, the bride often is tasked with finding ties for the whole group. I know we scoured Saks, Macy’s JCPenney, a few suit shops and several online retailers looking for just the right ties.

Luckily, there’s an online retailer who offers silk ties -
* by color family
* for $15 bucks each
* with $5.99 flat shipping rate
They even sort them by skinny, trendy or tradition. Score.
I wish I’d found The Tie Bar before my wedding.

I love the look of a crinoline poking out from under a wedding gown. Even better is a crinoline in an eye-popping hue. Seriously? Fuchia, aqua, scarlet?!
So, of course I am OMG-so-in-love with Wedding Cabaret‘s work. Of course she’s on Etsy, and she hand-dyes your crinoline for a cool $25 (naturally, the cost of the crinoline is separate). If I was wearing a different dress, I’d seriously get 2 — one for the ceremony and one for the reception.
Now THAT would be a fantastic “something blue.”

I haven’t really spent any time on the David’s Bridal website, but my mom sent me a link to a MOB dress she was considering, and I snooped around a bit. Um, how cute is this bridesmaid dress in yellow/green?! The fabulous part is the price: $39.99! Find it here.

What’s a girl to get?! Any suggestions?
Going with a preppy feel?
How about a garden party?
Maybe a light-hearted Southern affair?
Oh, so many lovely options to choose from!

I heart Polyvore. I create SO many inspiration boards… many of which will never see the light of day. But, it’s a great site to play around with colors, ideas and even for crazy over-the-top boards that I would NEVER consider… but can create for funsies.
Here’s our reception inspiration… to those of you who will be in attendance… “shh… keep it hush, hush.”

I’ve been sitting on a wedding color for, oh, about the the length of time since R proposed to me, minus 1 day.
I love, love, love spring green. It’s so fresh and luscious.
The only problem is that I didn’t want to go overboard. I wanted to add something complimentary that could add a little pop of contrast and depth.
Well, of course I found exactly what I was looking for on Elizabeth Anne Designs. Introducing… my inspiration.
