Kate Spade New York recently launched a “Wedding Belles” line of whimsical bridal accessories and overall eye candy. I love that they print “Mr.” and “Mrs.” on just about everything… The champagne flutes are to die for. The line isn’t carried in all of their stores yet but I’m told it will be available by the end of the year. In the meantime us Dallasites can just shop online.

a garden affair

Think of the most beautiful wedding you have ever seen… Now multiply that by ten! That’s Brittany and Jamie’s wedding in the garden at Marie Gabrielle, in Dallas. It was such a lovely affair for a couple so in love. And to top it all off, Brittany’s daddy surprised the couple with jaw dropping, 1800′s stained glass windows. They were rescued by monks from a church in Wisconsin that was being torn down. They will blow you away! Thank you to Amanda with Backroad photography for second shooting with me!

a sweet summer pattern

“I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of seeing gingham, it’s a fabric that’s both fancy and casual at the same time. The light gingham colors are perfect for spring and the bolder tones are great to use year-round. The gingham pattern is classic Americana style that’s so cheerful in weddings and events, perfect for outdoor!”
