TGIF… Happy Holidays.. Almost a New Year. Are you excited??? Well we are and if your a bride preparing for next years Christmas or New Years wedding we want to show you how to sparkle and bedazzle. You don’t just have to bedazzle on your person.. you can use edible jewels in your food, desserts, and drinks. Get an interesting ring or jewellery. Brooch up your bouquet even sparkle up your table settings. Whatever you choose to do go big and fabulous because that’s what will make a holiday wedding all the more fun (especially for a New Years Wedding). So here is our take on a sparkly and bedazzling wedding, hope you enjoy! Happy New Year! As always photo credits are below. Until next time….

We had our first top 5 of 16 Bridal Gown Monday’s and this week we have another 6 for you. #6 BHLDN: Bridal Gown Monday – February 6, 2012 Classic, sexy, unique, detailed, feminine and flirty, vintage/old Hollywood glamour…. need I say more! I need not. BHLDN has an amazing wedding line not only gowns but gorgeous accessories too. And our favourite you ask?

A gown of great bala

TGIF!!! 3 more days and we’ll be waking up to a beautiful Christmas morning. I am hoping for a white one but it doesn't look like we’ll have such luck here in Toronto. With Christmas comes colder weather…. so today I decided to put as different spin on your typical red, green, and white (sometimes blue) Christmas theme and add a little warmth back into it. Pastels.. that’s right Christmas with pastels. Gives the feeling of Spring hence the blog title. I really like the idea of using fresh, soft, and slightly bright multi-coloured pastels with the cliché Christmas theme. Using ornaments, candy canes, Christmas trees, warm drinks, and garlands all in pastels, along with a little silver shimmer and a lot of sparkle to create the perfect Christmas in spring.. (an imaginary spring.. lol). I do hope you enjoy.. and a VERY Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas to you and yours! Photo credits are below.

Happy Friday!! TGIF!! It’s been a while but I realized after being inspired by the Twilight movie last year that I definitely need to do an Inspiration Friday for the EPIC conclusion of the Twilight Saga movie series. You can see my previous post A Twilight Wedding for more Twilight inspiration. Have you seen the movie.. it had my jaw drop to the floor through a few parts. LOL. If you haven’t seen it make sure to check it out over the Christmas holidays. So what am I being inspired by this year you ask? The many great love songs that have been played throughout the entire saga. Each movie has had a great soundtrack so I picked my fav love songs and showed how I used the lyrics to inspire a wedding theme. In order of Photo (left to right, top to bottom): 1.
