♥ Elie Saab Spring 2012 ♥

When something is really pretty, I sometimes cry. It's the same cry I do for romantic flicks. I was crying when I was looking at Elie Saab's stunning and ridiculously gorgeous 2012 Spring collection. The gowns and cocktail dresses drape the woman's body so beautifully and flow so elegantly. The lovely array of: coral, soft pink, mint green, cool blue... ...I am in love with this man!

Seats for Mr. and Mrs.

Have you put much thought into labeling your seats on your wedding day? I think it's a lovely idea. You can label them any way you want. What I've normally seen is: initials, flower arrangements, the classic "Mr." and "Mrs." signs, or even the "Bride" and "Groom" signs. If you're a creative person, the seating signage is that extra decor touch that can be turned into a romantic DIY project for you and hubby (if he's willing that is).

Here are lovely examples of labelled seating:

Feedback from Colleen about her veil: 

"The veil was amazing, I loved wearing it!  I ended up using the flower for the reception and just the veil for the ceremony.  Would definitely recommend your veils to a friend: your promptness and service was excellent..."

Feedback from Adanna:

"I was only about a month away from my wedding date when I contacted  Sharon at Posh Veils. She was extremely professional, very detailed  and informed me of all the necessary information I needed. I had  been searching for an inexpensive veil for months and when I came  across this veil, I fell in love. It was so couture and what I  pictured my veil to look like. I received the veil on time and it  was exactly as pictured. Since I have no need for the veil anymore,  I now use the rhinestone piece as a broach and still get compliments  from people till this day. Thank you Sharon for making me look gorgeous on my wedding day."

Feedback from the Monique:

Flower Bouquets

I love flower bouquets. I see them as any accessory you'd choose for your wedding look: shoes, earrings, necklace, etc. However, unlike your wedding shoes, and jewelry, the flower bouquet arrangement is usually based on the decor decisions and not your dress. The flowers that usually end up on your bouquet are probably the same type of flowers that you've chosen to use on the centerpieces at the church and/or the reception venue. 

Some brides choose to have an assortment of flowers and colors on their bouquet, and others choose to have one type of flower and one color scheme. Whatever you decide on, make sure the shape and size of the bouquet works well with your overall wedding look.

Here are gorgeous images of bouquets for your inspiration:

The Proposal

A lot of couples get engaged over the holidays. If you're one of them, congratulations!!

Proposals are getting more and more creative nowadays. You just need to Google proposal videos to see what I mean. I can watch proposal videos all day and I'll manage to tear up for each one. I can't help it, I'm a helpless romantic...I'm the girl that's watched The Notebook a gazillion times. 
Whether your fiance proposed to you in your living room, or in Central Park in New York, the proposal can be just as meaningful and special. Your man asking you to spend the rest of your lives together is special no matter where he kneels down to ask you. Creativity of how a boy will ask a girl to marry him will vary from couple to couple. I think what you have to hold dear is the man and the heartfelt feelings behind the proposal.

Here is a great example of a goofy and heartfelt creative proposal...you're gonna love it!
