It's here, my friends! Yes, tomorrow {April 1st} is a big day... and not just for you "foolers". I have long been awaiting LA Style Unveiled's launch, and it's here. Can you believe it?
Don't forget to check it out - - for inspiration, eye candy, and most importantly, a connection to some of the greatest vendors in Los Angeles! I promise you will not be disappointed!
I'm in that kind of mood... color palettes are going to be my thing this week, although this one can be considered "colorless", but white is so clean. White, cream, ivory - - it's always so crisp + visually appealing!

I thought I was due to post an inspiration board... it's been a while. I think gray is the perfect color to go in the palette for any sleek + sassy bride.

Sorry for the delay, my friends... but there are truly so many amazing posts to report! Plus, I've been out of commission due to some bug going around. =( Despite not being able to swallow, I told myself that I had to put this post up no matter what, so enjoy!
Monday (3.23.09) :: I heart Edward Cullen of Twilight, so you could imagine how elated I was when I saw Jennifer Sbranti's printable vampire bottle labels! They're perfect for a Twilight viewing party. Get cheeky with Happy Hour Bride's post on lingerie {and heads up... they'll probably have a giveaway next month from one of the vendors mentioned}. If you don't {heart} Martha Stewart, we need to have a serious talk. The bouquets featured on her site are amazing, so I enjoyed Kelly De Luca's post on mellow yellow! I love We Met in a Bar's new wedding color scheme! It's going to be a colorful day in soCal on her big day {pewter, blush, scarlet + saffron}! You also have to check out this project for an afternoon tea party by "With This Ring, I Thee Obsess". {snapshot below is what you'll see in the post - as well as the instructions}
Tuesday (3.24.09) :: I'm loving Jennifer Ramos's Selina Lake eye candy... and the Jane Packer florals that Happy Hour Bride posted! Beware of papercuts with this super preview of DIY paper projects on Inspired Goodness. With This Ring's post on an engagement book from Studio on Fire is H-O-T! The Mod Table display on OnceWed is inspiring, and I'm looooving the colors! {snapshot preview below... you need to check it out!} InspiredBride's post on Le Cupcake is very yummy. Kylie Lambert's work is beatiful! I'm very much in tuned with LA Style Unveiled's teal + tan color inspiration post.
Wednesday (3.25.09) :: I absolutely love the Flirty "French Candy" Party theme featured on the Hostess {snapshot preview below}. MadeByGirl has added new colors to the LOVE Candy prints - - in seafoam + in white! I have yet to frame my recent purchase {in sky blue}, but will post the fab photos soon. Wedding Chic giveaway from Happy Hour Bride, don't forget to enter! The Bridal BFF showcases some fab dresses from Matthew Christopher's 2009 collection. I think my next purchase of anything wedding-/event-/business-/stationery-related will definitely be one of these rubber stamps featured on Bridal Bar. I adore the color palette posted by Flights of Fancy {lavendar, rose, + pewter!} JMG!! It's gorgeous! One of my other faves in this world are fonts {O hates when I download fonts, but I just can't help it!}, so Kelly DeLuca's find on GlamourThis! made my day. Wednesday was a good day with instructions on how to make your own photo booth for a backyard wedding from Green Wedding Shoes! Every fabulous production needs props, so Grey Likes Wedding's list for fun photos are just darling, and add the perfect touch to any event/photo! I got my dose of sunshine on Wednesday with LA Style Unveiled's glowing post! Yellow is definitely a color that is coming around A LOT in 2009!
Thursday (3.26.09) :: Everyone loves sales + discounts, so check out the discount for Becky Kelso's new website on Something Old, Something New. Backyard wedding decor on Green Wedding Shoes... a must see {snapshot preview below}! Here's a DIY project I think you're gonna love... from OnceWed! I think I'll try this one!
Friday (3.27.09) :: Check out these darling felt toys that the Hostess mentions on Friday. I love these... perfect for a baby showers or a young one's {very young one's} first birthday party. Marie Antoinette is a huge inspiration nowadays, but I was blown away by Jenna's wedding dress preview inspiration board on 100LayerCakes. Chocolate + sweet treats are my faves, so With This Ring's post on Friday gave me the ultimate craving for personalized sweetness. I should've added this to my 101 in 1,001, because I {heart} poms! Grey Likes Weddings totally put this on my radar...it's now an absolute to-do! Thanks, Summer!
Saturday (3.28.09) :: Brooke of Claremont Road read my mind with these cupcake liners. I'm in the mood to bake something, they are definitely an excuse to throw a party! Lauren of Flightless Bird totally followed through + made some... but not just any cupcakes, RAINBOW cupcakes {snapshot preview below}. Get some more insight as to the why's behind LA Style Unveiled in Heather's post, and remember: they're launching on Thursday! But don't be too worried, because I will certainly remind you!
Get inspired with these bridal gowns from Angel Sanchez's Spring/Summer 2009 collection!
