Weddings are expensive, but there are lots of creative ways to use a little elbow grease and save money on things like decor. Here is one idea that I just love! Martha Stewart's do-it-yourself pom poms...they are relatively simple to construct and her step-by-step directions really take you from start to finish without any hiccups (provided below).

Oh how I love the gowns from La Sposa!

Here's a brief preview of some of my favorites from next season's catalogue... Modern, yet classic. A blast from the past with a contemporary flair...I don't know how they do it! FYI, you can find La Sposa at many of our local bridal salons including Rin's in San Carlos and Trudy's in Campbell (two of my favorites). For the full line, check out La Sposa's site.
Enjoy! :)

If you are still trying to decide on your wedding day “bling”, check out Dragonfly Designs at www.jewelrybydfly.com. The site offers a great selection of jewelry, but the owner, Stacee, is also willing to work with her clients to design exactly the right piece of jewelry to suit them and their gown on their wedding day. What more could a girl ask for than her own personal jewelry designer?!

Flowers are lovely, no doubt, and candles do give off a warm and inviting glow...but if you have something else in mind for the center of your guests dinner tables and don't know quite where to start, my collage might help get your creative juices flowing... What can I say except I woke up in an artsy mood this morning! :)
