Photography: Fairytale Ending

This whimsical bridal spread from last months issue of Brides captures everything fun and fantastical. Photographer Amber Grey shoots model Valerya in a magical garden setting that brings childhood fantasies into life. I love the bubble gum and cotton candy color palette!

We are sure many of you have heard about this decor E magazine. If you haven't, can we introduce the incredibly fun Sweet Paul E Magazine with ideas on decor and home that's just fun and fresh.

This is from their Spring 2010 issue but we love it.  From ideas for flowers is just one of many topics and creative DIY ideas.

Of course we aren't big DIYers but the visuals are so "bananas"(in the famous word of The Zoe).

Stay tune for more fun, fashionable ideas for brides, grooms, and life after the wedding.

Cakes & Sweets: White Patterns

We seem to be in love with finding new vendors and when a little birdie told us about Two for Two Cakes in San Francisco, we got a little excited as we are always looking out for new and talented vendors.

This lovely cake from Two for Two caught our eyes because it's not the typical Swiss dots, curved or swirly piped cake.   This tone on tone fan patterned white cake with fondant ribbons on the top has this nice simplicity which makes for a beautiful cake for all season but especially perfect for a wintry wedding.

Too bad we can't taste what is inside.

Gowns: The Wedding Suite

The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the first regions to launch Nordstrom’s exclusive “Wedding Suite" offering the complete bridal look from head to toe in an intimate atmosphere. With wedding season right around the corner this bridal retreat is heavenly and stress-free. Complementary personal styling is just an added bonus!

Decor: Eat Drink Chic

We thought we've seen them all.  But we just came across one of the most delightful blogs about all things  beautiful.  It's called Eat Drink Chic and blogger, Amy Moss has got to be one of the most insanely hipsome(hip and awesome) person we know.  Her ideas are thoughtful and at times quirky yet always with a restrained beauty.

This post aptly titled "McFancy" shows her creative and unique range.   Don't you just love 'em.

We hope you visit Amy's wonderful blog for creative, sensible and darling ideas.

Cake & Sweets: Sweet Beginnings, Perfect Endings

Well dear readers, it's another year.  Good bye 2010, hello 2011.

To start the year off with a sweet note, here's a breakfast treat that's beautiful and perfect for those fun occasions as you brides start off (or should we say continue your) wedding planning.

For those meetings with your planners to fun bridesmaid brunches, a plate of yummacious donuts are an old fashion treat that's so back in fashion.  Even though we know that carbs and sugar are such big no-nos, who can resist.

So cheers and grab that perfect O treat.
