Ready or Knot

All the details have been decided, but the last-minute preparation for your big day can bring about the most anxiety.  Don't get antsy, and just take a deep breath.  Relax, and trust that your preparation leading up to this moment has made it another beautiful day.  Ready or not, you're tying the knot.

Doing a Personal Favor

Wedding or party favors can often be overlooked, but they can easily add something personal to your soiree.  Whether it's extravagant or simple, personal & reflective of the couple's personality is key.  Below are some of my favorite shots of favors.  As you can see, they can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, & colors.  Favors can be anything from eatable, smokable, knick-knacks... again, the possibilities are endless.http://www.angela-blog.com/

Unveiled Brides

The majority of people think of brides when they hear the word veil.  Can you blame them?  Veils can't help but be associated with brides, since when else does someone wear one?  Whether it's a traditional cascading veil, sassy birdcage veil, or even a mantilla (love them!), it's an accessory that adds something traditional and elegant to the bride & her look.  I thought I would take the time to showcase some unveiled brides, who look just as stunning without the veil.  White or colorful, real flowers or those out of fabric, with bling or with feathers, a single bloom or an arrangement of them, the possibilities are endless...

Anemone inspiration

I love, love, love anemones!  I think they are so classy!  What I love about them most are :

{1} they are ideal for a black & white color scheme, and you know how much I love b&w.

{2} they come in a variety of colors, besides black & white, so you can see it with a tinge of pink, yellow, purple, green, as well as full-on colored petals in fuschia & purple.  Isn't that hot?

{3} they're available during the winter months! Awesome!
