what I love: happy brides!

I have to admit; it's been a long while since my last "what I love" Wednesday, and I am truly sorry for that! But we've been so busy over here with new clients, weddings and fun - after all it is wedding season! We've been feeling the heat over here, that's for sure! It's all about those details, details, details! But at the end of the day, what's it boil down to a happy bride (and groom)! What I love this week, and every week for that matter, are happy brides. What rekindled this love you might ask?


A little character some know as Mrs Lamb (otherwise known as Melinda of the famed Invited clients, Melinda and Jason!) happened to write an incredibly endearing post about our wedding planning process. In it, she explained to her followers just how much she appreciated us by her side through the process.

In her oh-so kind words, she had this to say about just a few of the items involved in her big day:
"Who stayed at the Opera House on Wednesday to ensure we didn’t pay delivery fees on the holiday? Who set each table setting? Who gave all of the vendors the day of time line? Who coordinated the clean up at the church? Who relentlessly tracked down absentee vendors? Who finished and delivered all of the OOT bags? Who oohed and ahhed at my fitting? Who assured me that my reception dress was off the hook? Who had extra bobby pins for my fascinator? Who delivered all of the presents to the hotel? Who stayed up all night after the reception packing all of the DIY centerpieces and decorations? Who facilitated between us, parents and vendors?
Pavaune. And it was worth every single penny."

Needless to say, what I love this week (and will adore forever) are happy brides. Thank you Mrs Lamb, and thank you to all those brides who have allowed us the opportunity to make your day that much more special!

what I love: spring inspiration!

I have a special treat for everyone this week. I don't know about the rest of the US but here on the East Coast we had a lucky break from the cold winter, and spring arrived!!! Because of this lucky break and fortunate warm weather, I have decided that what I love this week is SPRING!!

So on to your treat: I've selected a couple of my favorite spring inspirations from all over the wedding blogosphere, and here they are!

Flower and Mint Ice Cubes!
  Thanks to Dog N'Bird. What a tasty idea for an outdoor garden wedding. Cocktail hour, anyone?

Adorable lil' birdie DIY nests - like these!
 Thanks to PolkaDotBride! How cute would these look nesting as the cake topper on your wedding day?

And finally... how gorgeous is this brooch bouquet??
 I can only dream of carrying such a beautiful bouquet down the aisle to my one and only. You can get one of your own as well - if you check out Fantasy Floral Designs! Thank you Ruffled for such a great tip at such an apropos time!

Hope you enjoy what I'm in love with this week - spring!

what I love: happy tape!

I know how many DIY brides there are out there - especially now in these economic times! Who wouldn't like to save a buck or two by taking some projects on? For those of you who may be a tad less adept in the crafting world and may prefer tape over Elmer's glue (or God-forbid super glue), I have a special treat - Happy Tape! Happy Tape is a genius creation that just came over to us in the USA from Japan. It is a great paper tape in all sorts of colors and designs.

There's no doubt in my mind, that what I love this week is Happy Tape!
