Now That's Cool: VIII

Ahhh -- yes that is all I can say at this point. I have been so MIA on the blog lately, it is just ridiculous - but there is a reason why I just have not had time to sit and write lately! For one, we are buying a house! Yay :) Although I am so excited, as you can imagine, the whole "buying-a-house-pack-up-your-life" ordeal is kind of taking over my days! On top of that, I have several weddings in the works (which I am so excited to be a part of!)..one if this weekend! In a nutshell, I am just running around at a million miles an hour and unfortunately my blog updates have taken the brunt of it. Although the posts may be more sparse than usual during the month of October, they should be popping up more regularly in November - so be on the look out!


In the mean time, I will try to get some of my favorite pictures and finds from across the weddingsphere weekly! Here are my "Now That's Cool" moments of this week..enjoy!

Now That's Cool: III

Hello all! If you have been a daily reader of the mini-series, Engagement Photos: 101, be sure to check back next week for the last two posts! Next Monday and Tuesday will feature the "WHERE" and "HOW" concerning engagement pictures!

While cruising across the web this week, I seemed to be constantly clicking the "download" button to save a photo that I thought was just too darn COOL! This week's featured photos seem to really highlight the INGENIOUS people out there - I mean seriously, who THINKS of this stuff! For example, how would you like to have multiple crystal chandeliers hanging in your outdoor ceremony!? Or how about your own custom beer labels that look so cute that you have your own brewery. One of my favorite finds below is the couple again an urban mosaic wall -- how wonderful to bring tradition to the streets. There is also a cake featured below that I swear is made from real lace (but don't be fooled, it really is icing!). Make sure you take a close look at the back of the wedding dress below -- amazingly detailed! And last, but not least...the uber sweet quote about love on a chalk board...I think I am going have to put this somewhere in my house. Anyways, have fun checking out the "Now That's Cool: inspiration board, and remember to add some amazing element to your own BIG day!

Now That's Cool! III

Although I post a number of "too cool" pics I have collected over the week from across the "weddingsphere," there are a couple that always stand out as "cooler than cool!" This week, let's just say, that I have way too many favorites! For example, check out the wedding cake that has a color gradient inside!? Like who thinks of that, and who took the artful time to bake it?! Or, how about the wedding rings that I think are stunning -- I certainly love my own ring, but that super thin COPPER band..how unique! As always, I HAVE to feature a fabulous pair of shoes, and these shoes with large ankle bows certainly fit the spot. And last, but certainly not least, I want to highlight the headband that looks straight up out of ancient Greece! Truly unique, truly creative, and truly TOO COOL! Enjoy!

Ann Taylor Wedding's Fall Collection Debuts!

I was so excited when I checked my e-mail today to see that Ann Taylor just debuted their brand-spankin'-new wedding collection for FALL! I know this 100 degree weather makes it hard to fathom the hearty hues of fall, but their collection is definitely worth a look-see! If anything, the thoughts of a cool breeze may help you cool down these days.

My favorite things about the Ann Taylor Fall collection?..ahh where to begin. For starters, the line is really versatile. Although does not offer the assortment that competitors like J. Crew offers, each dress seems to have it's own specific style that is applicable to a number of different weddings. Furthermore, this line offers some unique colors that are seemingly hard to find, but absolutely perfect for a Fall event. Overall, the line offers a combination of chic-romantic stylizing that would make any bride look like she is up on her fashion sense. Most importantly, every dress is RE-WEARABLE! In my opinion, there is not single factor of utmost importance..especially when asking your bridesmaids to invest in a dress. Any of the bridesmaid's dress would be perfect for a night out on the town or a swanky cocktail party. 

Overall, Ann Taylor is offering a line the provides a classy look with a modern stylized flare. Whether you are dressing yourself or choosing the wedding party attire, Ann Taylor is certainly an approved way to go! Be sure to check out there AMAZING accessory line as well -- so major statement bling over there!

Today, there are a million choices for your dress-to-be, from all over the world, and from a plethora of designers - nevertheless, finding your perfect dress can be an adventure (or a maze for that matter) in and of itself. And, just like high school PROM, no girl wants to wear a dress like anyone else's - we want it to look like it was made just for us; but, only a few major bridal shops most metro areas and so many designers "copy-catting" each other' work, how are you guaranteed to find a dress that is purely unique?
