BHLDN ~ maids

Once again, BHLDN does not disappoint. Gone are the days of hideous bridesmaid dresses, worn once then sentenced to the deepest darkest spot in your closet, never to been seen again.

And while you're at it, pick up one for your engagement party, shower &/or rehearsal dinner.

Anthropologie + Weddings = BHLDN

I can spend hours in Anthropologie...like so many women across America. I'm sure you'd be quick to agree. Unfortunately I don't always walk out with anything. And I don't mean walk out with stuff, like a shoplifter. In that case it'd actually be a good thing. I mean I don't buy a lot of things from Anthro. Usually they're a little out of my price range.

But these beauties...I think they are worth every penny. Check out the whimsical wonder that is BHLDN (pronouced Beholden).

Dancing Shoes

If you haven't heard of Toms by now you probably live under a rock. There are many things I love about my Toms. They're stylish, super comfy, and the best part? Every pair you buy means a pair for a child who probably hasn't ever had shoes.

They come out with new designs all the time, and now they can outfit your bridal party! There's bright white, sparkly silver, creamy ivory and a rainbow of colors to match every wedding. Of course the groom has options, too, like classic white, black leather or soft velvet. And don't forget the Tiny Toms for your flower girl & ring bearer!

You don't have to bring an extra pair of dancing shoes...you're already in your comfies!

I love the wedge, too! Great for the bride or her maids.
There's nothing better than a brightly-colored shoe peeking out from underneath a gorgeous wedding gown. Love!

Airstream anyone?

If you're planning a backyard vintage-y wedding, it won't be complete without one of these...

How incredibly adorable would this be for a dessert station???

Enjoy the possibilities...and rent one here

{real wedding} Lauren + Tim

On Saturday, February 26th Lauren & Tim got married. I met Lauren's mom at a venue I used to work at. I shared in her excitement as her daughter got engaged in Paris. As soon as I met Lauren & Tim I loved being around them. You could tell how head over heels in love they were. I was honored to be a part of their wedding day.

Check out this knockout bride & rock star groom...starting with killer purple heels...
