Beachy Keen…
Happy May! In honor of the first day of May here is a beachy post to put you in a sunshiney-it’s almost summer kind of mood! I love all these different ways to make beach…chic. Ecspecially, using conch shells as flower pots, white lounge couches right on the beach, and sandollar accented invites…genius!

Still Talking About That Dress…
It was just a year ago that 23 million Americans tuned in to watch Kate Middleton and Prince William say their I do’s. It was that same day that the world went in a frenzy about a certain white dress….and it wasn’t the brides. People went absolutely crazy for sister and maid of honor, Pippa Middleton’s dress! Take a look at our Pippa inspired bridal and bridesmaid styles, as well as some JLM styles if you loved Kate’s two looks!
Beautiful Sisters, Kate & Pippa Middleton

The Fairest of them All
With Snow White remake, Mirror Mirror out in theaters, it’s only fitting to imagine a Snow White/Mirror Mirror inspired wedding! Below are some gorgeous ball gowns that would definitely make you feel like a fairytale princess on your wedding day. Dress your bridesmaids in a red shade of cranberry or ruby to resemble that infamous poisonous apple, and for the icing on the cake serve miniature caramel covered apples for dessert! The beautiful dresses from Mirror Mirror shown below were designed by costume designer Eiko Ishioka.

Have Your Cake & Wear it Too!
