hollywood wedding

i happened upon this wedding months ago but it keeps drawing me back.
upon closer inspection, i realized my husband had briefly dated the bride's sister. wow, small world. this has got to be one of my favorite real weddings of 2009.
the dress (made by natalie's mom) is so stunning. natalie made her necklace which i totally adore. i love the hooray sign by etsy seller nice & of course, the hollywood sign.

what do you love?


*ps this bride totally makes me wish i was a natural redhead. so gorgeous!

jewelry done well

i think most of us on our wedding day want to be two things:
our most beautiful self
&
one of a kind.

i'd feel awful if i showed up on my wedding day wearing the same shoes, earrings or necklace as my aunt who came to share in my special day. [who wouldn't?]

ensure that won't happen by finding the most unique and beautiful handmade accessories.... etsy is always a great place to start the handmade-hunt.

taking the plunge? say it sailor style with this adorable and affordable AHOY necklace from Joanna Rutter
