Punk Rock Heck Yeah

I can't believe I have just found out about the DC-based Punk Rock Bride! These dresses are HOT. Man, I loved my wedding dress to pieces but the gown above is just to die for.

I'm loving their design philosophy - "Punk Rock Bride was created to offer brides an alternative to the traditional wedding dress. We take a unique approach by incorporating non-traditional fabrics and mixing multiple layers to add texture and depth to every design. We take care to maintain very simple, classic silhouettes to flatter every figure, and focus on the details, giving brides a comfortable, fashion-forward option for their wedding day."

PLUS, each dress is designed and manufactured in the US which is kind of hard to find these days.

Dream Project: Ribbon Wall

{via 100 layer cake}

I had visions of ribbon and fabric strips hanging everywhere at the wedding but alas it was just one of those little details that had to be cut from the (very) long list of projects (and it totally didn't matter in the end...more on that later). Still, when I see photos of bright, colorful streaks of color flowing in the wind I feel a tinge of remorse. It really can be such an easy and inexpensive way to brighten up a ceremony or reception space! You wouldn't need to do much else (and too much more would be too much, ya know). I am looking forward to implementing this project in the future...if anyone wants to let me give it a go just holler!

Hi y'all. Just wanted to let you know that I am back from the wedding. It was kind of totally awesome. I am still processing everything that happened. I'm not ready for it to be over but I'm ready to get started on all the other weddings and events that are in the works!

Forgive the repost from my other blog but it IS Wednesday and this IS an inspiration board of sorts. Birthday party, wedding, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner...anything goes in the desert!

Max & Margaux's Sneak Peek #2 from Shark Pig

Wow. I was tearing up just from this sneak peek! I can't wait for the rest!

I got to design and plan a baby shower this yesterday. It was pretty darn cute if I do say so myself. And teeny tiny baby clothes are the most adorable things I have ever seen!

I absolutely love love love this story. I get chills every time I think about it because I'm a big, sissy, romantic. We were hanging out with Aimee and Dorian and I was telling Aimee about the Disney World couple and she hit me with an even CRAZIER story about her and Dorian. Turns out, they were actually both born in the same hospital in Colorado and lived three streets away from each other growing up yet neither they nor their families knew each other. THEN both set of families moved to Florida and they lived 10 streets away from each other. Still they did not meet. It wasn't until they both went BACK to CO to visit did they finally meet and realize that fate had been trying to push them together their entire lives!

Anyone else have a crazy, twist-of-fate, story like that about you and your true love?
