Its that time of year… I’m off to Bridal Market! I’m so excited to see so many new pretty wedding dresses in person, not to mention eating my way through New York…I’ll be live tweeting throughout the shows. You can follow me right here.

Sneak peek of a photo shoot being featured in You & Your Wedding Day (UK magazine). Its should be available at Barnes & Nobles, I hope you pick up a copy. There is so much more to share… Stay tuned!

Have you heard about Lover.ly yet? Its a new place to browse and “bin” all your favorite wedding inspiration from your favorite wedding blogs in one place. Its got a similar vibe to Pinterest, except the content is pulled only from the best wedding blogs, which means the quality of images on Lover.ly will always be the best of the best. With over 100,000 images already in the database, its the perfect place to start putting together the inspiration for your wedding design.

To meet the team behind Lover.ly and some of my favorite bloggers, I headed down to Manhattan beach a few weeks ago to get a sneak peek. It was so much fun to hang out with Kathryn of Snippet & Ink, Cathleya from Weddingbee, Leila of Inspired by This, Shawna from Maharani Weddings, Summer of Grey Likes Weddings, Amy & Jocey of the Wedding Chicks, Chandra of Oh Lovely Day, Emarie of The Collection Event Studio, and of course have my photo taken by the incredible Elizabeth Messina. If you’d like to request your beta invite you can do so right here. Happy Lover.ly-ing!

I’m sure you’ve heard about Pinterest, the tool that lets you pin photos you love, organize them into boards, and share with friends. Its a great place to gather inspiration for a wedding, home decorating and so on. For me, I thought it be helpful to put all the beautiful Tuesday Shoesday photos in one spot, so I created the “Tuesday Shoesday” board.

Likewise, I’ve pinned all my inspiration boards, so you can glance at them all at once. Check it out right here. Happy pinning!

Today’s shoesday photo is from a wedding I did last Fourth of July. The entire wedding is being featured on Snippet & Ink, you can check it out here. I’ll have more from this wedding this week. And a big thank you to Kirsten Ellis of Beaux Arts Photographie for her amazing work (she shoots film people, film. Get excited).

Today I’m excited to share Bottle Your Brand, a company that specializes in making custom labels for beverages and food for your wedding day. I love these orange sodas dressed in cute and colorful labels, the look is so fun and cheery and is a great personal touch to your wedding day.

There are a bunch of templates to choose from, but you can create your own custom design if you like. I love the punch of orange on this water bottle label.

I love these cute beer labels, they’d be cute at a reception or any special occasion. The labels are also water proof which means they’ll stay looking great through out your party.

Bottle Your Brand also makes labels for food and other decor. Aren’t these jams adorable favors?

I love these adorable labels for the champagne! To shop Bottle Your Brand, go right here.
