{ bridal eyecandy } jenny packham bridal lookbook

Oh, how I fell in love with these amazingly gorgeous wedding dresses from Jenny Packham's 2011 collection. Such delicate, feminine gowns that would surely make any girl a princess on her special day. Just looking at them makes me want to get married all over again. I love how her dresses are all long, sleek and elegant, instead of the traditional meringue. With a touch of Greek goddess and soft chiffon, I can't begin to decide which is my favorite dress, perhaps you could tell me yours?

a dreamlike bridal fantasy

I was browsing through my daily inspirational sites and going through the posts I missed over the holidays when I spotted this gem of an editorial that was in Bride Magazine last month. I just can't get over the fairytale gorgeousness of these photos - if my blog could have a visual anthem, it would be this. I'm still reeling from the sheer perfection of the editorial as it transports me to such a magical, fantasy world where girls frolic in wedding dresses all day surround by woodland creatures. I hope I'm not boring you since these have pretty much been everywhere, but I just couldn't resist!

bridal ideas: pretty paper invitations

One of my favorite things to do is to collect images of pretty paper goods and there's nothing quite as pretty as wedding invitations! I love traditional wedding invitations that have a unique twist or even better, DIY ones made by the bride and groom themselves! I can't wait to share my own invitations with you that I designed for my wedding last summer but in the meanwhile, here are some lovely inspirations that I've found.

and what a perfect little box to hold them in

bridal eyecandy: a girl's best friend

Though I'm not a die-hard fan of everything diamonds, the only ones I own are the ones I have from my wedding, who can resist looking at pretty photos of diamond rings? There are so many gorgeous wedding and engagement rings out there and here is just a handful that I just had to share with you all. At the end of the day, big or small, simple or extravagant, they have the same purpose, to serve as a symbol of everlasting love. What are your thoughts on diamond rings?

cutest cake toppers

When I was doing the rounds and gathering inspiration for my wedding, I came across some of the cutest cake toppers that I have ever seen made by the lovely and talented Jennifer Murphy. Her custom, hand-made toppers are adorable, made with extreme care and would make such a memorable token of a couples most romantic day. You can find her stuff on her website or her Etsy.
