Inspirations: Sexy, Sultry City

So Sex and the City opened last week to mildly disappointing reviews but you can't blame fans of Carrie Bradshaw and Company for drooling over the fashion eye candy.

We found this sultry, sexy inspiration board a perfect combination of luxe, decadence and ubercoolness that defines this second dose of SATC.

Cake & Sweets: The Humble Pie

We are always asking ourselves,"what's next in wedding sweets?".  We've seen mini cakes, candy bars, cupcakes, but how about the humble, All-American pie?  

To use, there's something comforting, welcoming and nostalgic about a beautiful hand crafted pie.  It reminds us of family dinner and we think they could be the next "wedding sweets".

What's your favorite pie?

Photography: Carnival of Love

We love real couples in real places like a carnival or country fair, not posing for a photo shoot, but just clowning around, being young at heart, being naturally themselves, being goofy, being...in love.

Thanks for sharing, Kevin Chin.

Venue: Honeymoon II

There are many places to go to relax after the wedding and for those looking for something heavenly, the answer is Las Ventanas al Paraiso in Cabo San Lucas.   Aptly named Windows to Paradise, this beach resort reaches new heights in redefining relaxed luxury.  Boutique and small with 61 rooms, it's one of several remarkable Rosewood properties.

We find Las Ventanas captivating and intoxicating serene - paradise found!reuites, a world-class spa, inspired cuisine and an intoxicating ambiance.

Decor: Wine Country Ideas

We saw this beautiful board from Beau-coup and had to share it with you.  One of the reason that we love it so much is because we are a bunch of foodies and the incorporation of food motifs with a wedding is so very lovely.  Personalized olive oil bottles are wonderful favors for wine country receptions as are the burlap bags with mini champagnes.  That's a treat that your guests will not forget.  For more ideas on favors for your wedding, you will find inspiration at Beau-coup's blog.

Photography: I left my heart...

This image caught out attention and we had to share it with you.  San Francisco has been long known to be a romantic city and it truly is a place where you will leave your "heart".  This couple certainly did.  

If you are curious, these iconic hearts from the "Hearts in SF Project" have been placed throughout San Francisco since 2004.  This is one of our favorites which is located in Union Square.  There have been 130 different ones placed throughout the City by the Bay.

Thank you Kevin Chin for sharing this image with us.

Inspiration: Eyelet & Lemons

Ok, we confess!  We stole this from Leila's blog, Inspired by This...but how can you deny how sweet this is.  yellow, lemons, eyelet - done!  Fabulous.  A barn like house in back - perfect.  A large oak tree to shade your guests - stunning.
