Lily of the valley symbolizes happiness, purity of heart, and humility. That’s all nice and everything, but what’s really important is that Kate and Grace carried them in their bridal bouquet. Also, it happens to be May’s birth flower. Let’s have a look at all of the lily of the valley loveliness, shall we?

I love the romance, simplicity, and innocence of these bouquets. What do you think?

Last year we saw our first “naked” wedding cake. The decor of the rest of the event was burlap and lace, and we were delighted when the lovely layers of dessert arrived, with only icing in-between! With temps rising (except today- today is uncharacteristically and pleasantly in the 70′s), we’re expecting to see many more of these for spring and summer.

I’m personally a fan of the less icing to cake ratio. What do you think?

The Great Gatsby doesn’t hit theaters until May 10th, but the buzz surrounding Baz Luhrmann’s latest movie is in full swing! Bridal retailers are all aboard the Gatsby train, including Tiffany & Co., BHLDN, and check out this season’s latest Weddings in Houston cover.
Are you a Gatsby fan? Will you include vintage, roaring-twenties themed touches in your wedding (headbands, brooches, gowns, swing music)?

The last time I was in a wedding, I thought I was being really brilliant by remembering to wear a button-down top to my hair and makeup session. Evidently, it’s a rookie mistake to wear a top that you would have to hoist over your head, which could potentially smear your makeup or ruin your perfect coif. It turns out I was only being halfway brilliant; it never occurred to me that the professional photographer would be taking pics of us getting ready, and so I was snapped wearing a dingy button up! If I get brave enough (or receive at least one comment requesting it), I will post a pic of this.
Check out the darling towels one of our brides wore recently. Her mother made them for her, along with matching ones for her bridesmaids. Wearing something so adorable not only kept their hair and makeup perfect, but also looked painfully cute in their photos. Gratis: a shot of their spectacular decor!
What will you wear for your hair and makeup, pre-gown photos?

Last night we attended the Annual NACE Wedding Trends event at the Bell Tower on 34th Street and I have to say, with the theme being “Texas-chic,” we were pretty excited! Sonny Ganguly, the CMO of WeddingWire, was the featured speaker, and pretty much blew us all away with the technological predictions for the next ten years. We then enjoyed a fantastic after party, featuring a taco stand, ceviche station, and several “watering holes” (Texas’ own Messina Hof wines and Tito’s Texas Vodka!). Here are some photos of the incredible decor and tasty bites. The only thing missing was a mechanical bull!

One of my appointments this week was with a bride who arrived organized and ready, armed with a bridal binder. These binders and books can be a super helpful resource as you’re touring venues, taking notes, receiving a bazillion business cards, and organizing creative inspiration that make up a wedding. I’ve seen these books and recommend them, but was surprised to see this particular’s bride book was composed of what looked like a homemade pinterest! It was a very impressive collection of photos on white pages, with notes, that really did resemble the ever-growing and ever-popular website. I spotted this cake photo, and mentioned how much I loved it. She then told me how she’s considering having her cake decorated similarly; but rather than the E.E. Cummings poem written on it, she was thinking the song lyrics of George Strait’s The Chair, because her fiance had proposed to her at the rodeo during that song!
If you were to have song lyrics on your cake, what song would you choose?
