Fabulous Friday!

Not totally sure if this falls under fabulous or freaky but it's pretty impressive. Made out of over 2,000 peacock feathers, this custom gown took over two months and eight craftsmen to create and is encrusted with jewels and worth over a million dollars! Wow!

Check out a peek at one of Amanda's amazing weddings at The Newseum. The first time they've used the entire main hall for a wedding. Fun! 

Thanks to Greg Gibson for the cool image!

Flower Power!

Talk about a wedding heavy on the florals!  Amazing!  Don't know how she moves but I suppose that isn't really the point, is it?

Pinterest Fun!

Now I'm not usually the first to jump on a new technology or social media bandwagon. Or the second or third. People usually have to point it out and tell me that I need to be tweeting my breakfast choice or must become the mayor of someplace.  But I'm quite enjoying playing on Pinterest.  I've been pinning some images from favorite Engaging Affairs weddings and even favorite wedding shoes. I have some of my novel-writing inspiration up and some of my favorite books of all time.

Even better, I've found some great inspiration on everything from making superhero capes to cleaning cast iron. I love little tidbits like this! So check out my boards on Pinterest.  I'll be adding lots more favorite wedding images and writing inspiration, I'm sure. And Amanda's boards have some awesome inspiration (perhaps for her own fabulous destination wedding that she's planning?)!  Happy pinning!

Is It a Dress? Is It a Cake?

We've seen some crazy, elaborate wedding cakes in our day but this one may, well, take the cake!  What's the verdict: gorgeous or gauche?
