Last night, I had the privilege of attending the Martha Stewart Weddings Bridal Party! The party was fabulous with nail & brow stations, lots of sweets, a cheese & cracker bar, & even cocktails with edible cups from Loliware (bottom photos). Martha even officiated a wedding herself at the event, you can watch it here.
I’m alive! Sorry for being MIA, I’ve been preparing for a very busy (and exciting) September full of photo shoots & weddings! This past weekend was our Nearly Newlywed shoot in CT. Tim did an amazing job shooting, the models rocked it and the dresses have somehow become even more amazing. I loved wearing this one.
Here are a few sneak peeks from the shoot, posted this weekend on NN’s Facebook page. PS how gorgeous are those 2H Flower bouquets?! They went beautifully with every dress. Love!
Here are a few photos from Jewel’s bridal shower on Saturday. Her sister did an amazing job throwing it all together. Every detail was amazing from the peonies (in July!!) to the ombre cake. I felt like I was browsing Pinterest with all these cute & thoughtful ideas! They also had a candy bar & little notes to Jewel’s future hubby – Patrick. Can’t wait for the wedding! xx
Here are a few shots from this weekend’s amazing Nearly Newlywed photo shoot. Jackie outdid herself with curating the dresses, they really are gorgeous. When they are all released – I will be sure to let you know. I had a blast and met a ton of sweet & amazing people – I can’t wait till the next one!
Floral headpieces are by 2H Flowers - more on that later 
Last photo is of me & Lilo – after spending much of the weekend with Tim, she seemed to be playing hard to get last night.
Happy June! Happy Friday! For the last month or so, I’ve been helping out at the lovely start up, Nearly Newlywed, an online boutique specializing in “nearly new” wedding dresses. This weekend is the photo shoot for the next collection, I’m beyond excited to help style & setup the shoot with Jackie, but also to see these amazing dresses! Wish us luck & follow NN on twitter or Facebook for some sneak peaks throughout the weekend! xx Have a good one!

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of going to Etsy’s first wedding event, To Have & To Hold. The decorations were adorable, the sweets were delicious, & the products were beautiful. We all left with an Etsy swag bag that included a ton of postcards & business cards of participating vendors. Here are a few of my favorites: Spoonflower, Urban Wood Goods, Tuck & Bonte, Moontree Letterpress, & Native Bear.
With this event, Etsy has also launched a registry & Etsy Weddings, an easier & bigger online hub for brides to be. This site includes trend reports, style boards, & real weddings. Check it out here.

I received my very own Pretty Please polish from NYC blogshop, where I also happened to meet Sara, the owner of Pretty Please. The idea is simple and genius. Pick a polish color, think of a clever name, & share it with others! How cute is the Favorable Mention polish?! These polishes would be perfect for any occasion – bridal showers, birthday parties, work events, etc. The Pretty Please website will be launching next month but if you are looking to order before then feel free to contact orders@prettypleasenailpolish.com or follow them on Facebook.
There are so many amazing Etsy stores, so every now & then I feel the need to share. This vintage shop, Barking Sands Vintage has some amazing pieces to throw a room together. Items range from 20th century American antiques to mid-century modern (and they ship internationally!). That lamp is killing me! Have some vintage pieces of your own? The shop owner, Jeni sometimes looks to buy certain items – see list here.
It’s officially Spring! Each spring I always feel like there are a ton of events, between birthdays & weddings – it’s a busy season. Which is why I’m so glad I found Gold Teeth Brooklyn. Their handmade cards are silk screened and one of a kind. I recently picked up the shoes card for my friends that just got engaged! Cards are available for purchase at their Etsy shop here or check for locations near you here.
