Weekend Wear - Garden Wedding

Remember this post where I shared some gowns that I was contemplating for a black tie wedding we have coming up this summer??? Well they both arrived and were just a bit too matronly and chez boring on me. So I was back on the hunt for the perfect dress for my beautiful friends big day. I then came across this dress and I knew it was perfect for the formal garden occasion. Ding... Ding... Ding, I think we have a winner folks! So excited for this beauty to arrive...here's hoping it's just as fabulous in person as it is online!

Black Tie

It's pretty rare for my husband and I to have an affair where the attire calls for black tie. Now that I think of it, I have never even seen my husband in a tuxedo! Well that is all about to change early this summer when we help celebrate a dear friends big day. I couldn't be more excited about getting glammed up for a formal evening celebrating a special couples happiest moment. Afraid to get stuck in a pinch last minute, I have been keeping my eye out there for an evening gown to wear and the two below have caught my attention. I adore the navy color on both but the first beaded detail and clover pattern on the back of the gown is so pretty but the second dress has gathering in all the right places which makes me feel like it would be more flattering {and this girl needs all the hip disguising I can get}. I need your help....

Which is your favorite???

Love & Las Vegas

Back in the Bean fresh from a fabulous wedding in beautiful Napa Valley for one of my dearest friends. Everything from the al fresco ceremony, the candlelit barrel room reception and of course the beautiful bride and groom made this a perfect wedding. Upon our arrival back in Boston, I was saying goodbye to one my friends and said, "another wedding down, two more to go!" It made me think about the next wedding of another friend that approaching quickly, one that will take place in Las Vegas! It had me thinking how would you throw a wedding that is still stylish yet true to the city

A black and white photo of you and your new husband under the famous Welcome to Las Vegas sign is an incredible photo opportunity and keepsake for your wedding album! Another fabulous place is the Neon Boneyard to get some truly unique photographs.

Send a unique save the date with a fun scratch off to reserve the date for your special day!

Who says Las Vegas invites need to be all casino themed and in the traditional red and black colors??? Not this gal, I love this skyline invite for it's bright colors, simple design and nod to kitch without being over the top themed.

invites

Be gone all traditional guests books instead have your guests sign a print of the state where you got hitched. I adore the heart over the area where you tied the knot!

For-go favors and welcome your guests with totes featuring the events of the wedding mapped out with your favorite Vegas places and filled with your favorite treats and aspirin of course! {want to keep the tote contents Vegas themed??? include playing cards, chocolate coins, dice etc.}

totes

Create a home made photo booth area for you and your guests to have a few laughs upon your return back home.

I love the idea of a cocktail dress for Vegas nuptials. I would accessorize the hell out of this little number to make it full on bridal without having to spend a fortune, the entire look below is under $1,000 and doesn't look it!

color crush - blush

I am seriously in love with the color blush in every single way. It just looks so pretty in make up, bags, jewelery and clothes. Below are a few of my favorite pieces that I have had my my eye on. I am especially obsessing over the t-strap wood heals for the spring. What girl doesn't love pink?! I think wearing it in this softer version is uber feminine without feeling like your a little girl. Part 2 will have some fab inspiration on how to put this color into your wardrobe and part 3 on how to put in your home!
