I love this song. This goes out to my favorite hot mama. She loves it too– ¡AZUCAR!

I based this board’s shades around the colors in crème brûlée– the soft ivories of the custard, the golden brown of the carmelized sugar, the bright white of the whipped cream and the rich red of berries that accompanies most servings.

Aeleise was one of the sweet brides to join us for our Virtual Soiree last year. Her ideas were beautiful, and the planners that attended the soiree were all impressed with her style and grace. Everything about Aeleise’s wedding– from the intricate details to the unique venue that had exposed brick and huge scenic windows, had us all eager to see how her event turned out. She was wonderful enough to share her pictures with us as well as give us a closer look into her planning and special day.

The mere addition of the big jewelry adds a rockstar edge to the Louboutin slingblacks and flowered halter dress.

As a lover of my DSLR, I found the straps from Phat Straps’ store on Etsy via GeekSugar to be absoluxely adorable!  Fashion meets functions with these straps, which give you sense of security when shooting with your prized camera.  The wrist straps, which retail for only $17, keep your camera close to you in the very sad event that you drop it.  They also create quick release camera straps for only $27 (My favorite is the black damask, of course!).  With DSLRs becoming extremely popular, helping your best gal pals add their own stylish twist will be a much appreciated gift!

Ascots are coming back into fashion this year—can you picture your Mister in one?

They are absolutely stunning—especially when paired with vests and/or long jackets.  The look, as seen on Joshua Jackson,  has a certain air and style that cannot be achieved with a classic bowtie or long tie.  They are tres sexy and European. His Luxeness can rent his ascot if he would like, or purchase a silk one from such places as Forzieri Italia (be sure to sign up for their newsletter to receive 5% off!).  If you do purchase it, why not personalize the inside of it with his initials or a love note from you.  There are several styles and colors that will very well complement the wedding theme you have chosen and its colors.

Also, be sure to practice, if you do decide to purchase or rent!
