I am so excited about today’s wedding, because the bride, Annie, is a longtime reader. The wedding she and Andrew planned is the definition of sweet and intimate. Andrew, an executive chef in New York City, even prepared the food himself! Both Minnesota natives who coincidentally met in Philly at the airport while traveling back …

Leading color authority Pantone has deemed Tangerine Tango the 2012 color of the year and, I have to say, I’m really loving this pretty citrus-infused color right now. I think it’s perfect paired with other bold jewel tones for winter (as seen here), but I love it with softer shades of orange, green, lemon yellow …
I love this time of year because I know so many of you are newly engaged. I love engagement season! Now that the glow of the holidays and the new bling on your finger is becoming a bit less surreal, it’s time to talk planning. Luckily, Macy’s Wedding Shop has you covered! One of my …
I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about Valentine’s Day already! It’s Chelsea, swinging by with bow and arrow in hand, to help you celebrate the people you love this Valentine’s Day. And let’s be real – I have no complaints about celebrating love (not to mention that conversation hearts are one of my …
My grandmother was an avid gardener and her love for gorgeous flowers has been passed down the generations, first to my mother and then to me. I’m a lifelong sucker for beautiful bouquets and lush centerpieces, the more romantic the better. I’ve found myself pinning so many stunning floral arrangements lately that it’s definitely safe …
Ok. I’m going to be that guy and come right out and say it – can you believe it’s already halfway through January just about? It always amazes me how quickly the holidays meld away and we’re right back to being neck deep in the current of every day life once again. Next week it’s …
We’re definitely deep in the throes of winter this week, but I’ve decided to think spring with a bit of pretty color just to spite. I’m loving bright colors and a touch of gold for spring this year and can’t wait to get back to being able to wear my favorite sweaters with skinny jeans …
I’ve been predicting for a while now that we were going to see a shift back to super romantic, elegant wedding style as 2011 evolved in 2012. The whole homemade, rustic chic look that has been so popular for the last few years is always going to have it’s place (and I’m glad because it’s …
The pretty just keeps on coming this week with today’s gorgeous inspiration shoot shared by Diana Elizabeth and la Ricki. A color palette of soft pink, lavender and powder blue are paired with vintage jewelry and baubles for a super chic and girly look. Here it’s all about skipping the typical bridal shower games in …
We’re busy plotting and crafting some great upcoming Valentines Day features for the weeks ahead (yes, I know, already) so I couldn’t resist falling right in love with this sweet little gift idea dubbed Seven Days of Love. You take a standard Sunday – Saturday pill box (the kind with little lidded compartments for each …
Last spring I was contacted by the incredible Kelly Stremmel about teaming up on an editorial shoot, bringing together some of Central New York’s finest wedding vendors. A series of emails sharing inspiration flew back and forth, with Kelly and I teaming up to bring to life what is, hands down, my favorite shoot I’ve …
I always love getting to feature a brilliantly fun birthday celebration, but when the fabulous Juli of The Garter Girl and United With Love sent over her daughter Amory’s fourth birthday party I literally clapped. First of all, Juli is one of the loveliest women I have ever met. Period. And secondly, she makes insanely …
