Rain on Your Wedding Day!

After last night's torrential downpours in the DC area, I thought this photo was fitting. Here's hoping it doesn't rain on all of our weddings this weekend but if it does, I hope my couple has as much fun with it as this one did!  Have a great weekend everyone!

Lazaro Trunk Show {Love Couture}

Fascinated with Fascinators!

Of course you all saw the fabulous fascinators at the Royal Wedding and then the subsequent commentary on the best and worst (hello, Beatrice?). Fascinators don't need to be crazy or huge. Here are some of our faves from couture milliner Preston & Olivia!

But fascinators don't need to be for hair alone. Why not top a cake with a spectacular one instead of the expected flowers or bride and groom topper?

Have a fascinating day!

Feather Shoes {Skye Collections}

Okay, I am in love with these feathered shoes from Skye Collections. Talk about making a statement on your wedding day (or any day)!

You provide the shoes and Skye feathers and blings them out!  The yellow are fabulous and I am dying over the black slightly iridescent green pair. Gorgeous!!
