I am really excited about today's post...so excited that I actually started working on it days ago which is a rare thing when you have a newborn! As some of your know, the FABULOUS Bluefly just launched their Weddings 2.0 site complete with a pretty killer array of bridesmaids dresses and accessories. Well, this got me thinking. How many different looks can one bridesmaids dress work with?
Take the Little Black Dress for example.
Today's real wedding by A Charleston Bride, was all about style. From the amazing color palettes to the soft little details, every element was thoughtful and pretty. But, I have to say, the prettiest part of the whole day...would have to be the bride. Hands down.
And alongside the gorgeous yellow and black palette, sat pretty little details that completely softened the look and allowed the style to stand the test of time...

Today is all about sweet treats...those perfect little sweet details that make your wedding special. And when Liz Green wrote to me about her newly launched company, Bar Candy, I knew I had to share.

In a nutshell, Liz took her love of mixology to a new level creating these fabulous edible cocktail glasses.
Thank you so much to Lisa Vorce of Oh How Charming! and the the team at Docuvitae for sharing today's absolutely gorgeous wedding.
I know that it's way beyond many budgets out there, but look to the style of the day for inspiration. Whether it's the antique silver, white and black palette or the collection of vintage china, there are so many ways to incorporate this...
I am generally smitten with all things Lisa Vorce. And today, she's taken it to a new level. The wedding that we are featuring is pure magic, but it's the photos...oh the photos, that really tell the story. Docuvitae was introduced to me by Lisa and I have to say, their work is absolutely gorgeous.
The black and whites really allow the emotion of the day to shine...

When I put the word out to our Little Black Book vendors that we would be doing a week of breast cancer awareness posts, I immediately started receiving little notes from vendors filled with stories as to how breast cancer has touched their lives. But it was this next story that really blew me away.
