Honeymoon Style: Swimwear
Having spent my honeymoon in a tropical location, I spent a lot of time thinking about the swimsuits - and the number of swimsuits - I would bring for our trip. When you're spending a week at the beach, you simply can't just rotate the same two suits over and over again, am I right? Seems like five would be a nice minimum... :)

Style: Short Wedding Dresses
Whether you're having a daytime wedding, or just looking for something more casual to change into for the reception, sometimes a short dress is just the ticket.
Here are three little white dresses we just love:

Inspiration: Peach Wedding
I'm crazy about peach. As someone who doesn't really go for pink, peach is the perfect romantic (yet not too girly) shade for me.
I absolutely love it as a wedding color, especially for early Spring:

Color of 2013: Emerald
Pantone recently announced that the 2013 color of the year will be one of my personal favorites: emerald green!
In fact, emerald green was the accent color of my own wedding, which I particularly loved in our wedding cake design (by Alliance Bakery):

Art Deco Jewels
I've always been a little obsessed with Art Deco anything: decor, fashion, and especially jewelry. In fact, when I got engaged, my husband proposed with a vintage 1927 deco diamond and sapphire ring! He knows me so well...
Anyway, a little touch of deco adds a glamorous and sophisticated touch to your wedding style. I love, especially, how it can add a bit of structure to a more ethereal look, or just complete an all-out vintage one. Some ideas:

Understanding Wedding Floral Costs
Flowers are a pretty ubiquitous component of a wedding. While creative replacements for floral have become trendy over the past few years (i.e., a brooch bouquet), most brides still choose to feature flowers as the highlight of their wedding decor.
However, when it comes to wedding planning, it can be difficult to guess what all this will cost. After all, even if you've thrown a big event before with floral centerpieces, etc., you've probably never accounted for things like bouquets, boutonnieres, pew / alter flowers, etc. The extent of these things all play into how much you are likely to spend, along with a few other factors.
So, what determines the final floral bill?
- How many flowers are used. A simple spray of baby's breath or a handful of tulips is going to be much less expensive than a large bouquet featuring different flowers in an elaborate design.
- This also applies to the number of floral pieces you require. For example, are you just having bouquets, boutonnieres, and a few centerpieces? Or are you planning to have aisle flowers, flower girl baskets, and more extensive floral decor?
- How ornate are the designs you've selected? Bunching a group of roses into a bouquet is much simpler than having an elegant, creative bouquet, such as the one below:
- Have you chosen seasonal floral or will the flowers you've selected have to be shipped in from far away?
- What types of flowers have you chosen? Again, there's a big difference between daisies and orchids.
- Delivery and set-up
It's important to have an idea of what you want and need before talking with a potential floral vendor. They'll be able to give you an idea of costs based on your ideas, and then you can add or subtract from there. It's helpful to have a book of inspiration photos (or a Pinterest page!) as well. Showing a florist a specific design that you like will help them estimate what something like that would cost for you.
