pink + green are my favorite colors nowadays!
go check them out! a real wedding blog!

like my wedding (only cooler)

My favorite newlywed from The Netherlands has posted her photos! They look like they belong in a magazine! I have asked her to share some tips and fun stories from her wedding...

I cannot wait to hear what she has to say!

Eat, Drink and Marry

This couple looks so cool...

Love the bits of red in these photos too.

Engageology

Talk about DIY! You should really check out this cool blog I found today called Engageology! The bride goes over "The Science of Getting Married!"

They have tons of money saving tips! And look at the centerpieces the bride's aunt made for them. Under $200, when they had initially allotted over $800 in their budget!

Ok, so I'll be the first to admit..., I'm kind of a chicken. I don't like Amusement Parks, I don't like going fast or high. I like to be IN control and don't like feeling OUT of control! And I don't care for motorcycles...

However...

I just noticed Vespa Providence on Twitter (They began following me!) and I must say..., I've always LOVED Vespas!

If I get a little bit more courage, I might just head on over there and get me one! I like this limited edition pink, and they make a nice light blue also.

Hmmmm. For now I might have to settle for their mug!

One of my favorite movies of all time is Roman Holiday. This photo is from a scene where Audrey Hepburn takes off and rides a Vespa for the first time! Look out!

Buy the print here.

One of these days I'll tell you all about a fantastic wedding I went to in Rome...

how important is the cake to you?

You have seen with the pixie grin here before,... and you may recognize her cake topper displayed proudly here...

(and how lovely it was...)

however, my question to you is:

which is more important?

HOW THE CAKE LOOKS (BUT DOESN'T TASTE SO GREAT)
-OR-
HOW THE CAKE TASTES (NO MATTER WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE?)

???

your thoughts, your answers.

(meanwhile, i don't care where your cake came from, it still looks to die for! - hope it was all you wanted it to be and more!)

DIY Cake Tops!

She's getting hitched this weekend!

All my best!

Maybe it's all the limes for Cinco de Mayo or maybe it's the dirty blonde cocktails..., maybe it's the cool artwork I just hung in my kitchen by Martha Negley from Art.com...

But I have had such a craving for anything citrus of late!!!! How cool are these wedding pics above??? Totally creative and fun!

Below are some more shots..., so pucker up!

Doesn't this look absolutely fabulous? Like it should be in a magazine! Wait, it was in a magazine!

Like a party I wish I was invited to! You can tell it had some PERSONALITY to it! That's what every wedding needs. Your own stamp on it. Nice job Paola and Jeremy.

Kind of a "Rustic Elegance", don't you think?

"Real Wedding ~ Paola and Jeremy

Though we usually post real weddings on Wednesdays, we thought we'd start a bit early this week. Since today is Cinco de Mayo, we'd love to share the gorgeous wedding of Paola and Jeremy in Mexico City, Mexico, sent to us by amazing photographer, KT Merry. Needless to say, the trays of sangria and Coronitas with limes have us longing for a getaway, or at the very least, a nice little afternoon cocktail. In addition to culturally-inspired food & beverages, this wedding embraced Mexico's rodeo tradition, featuring bull riding (mechanical of course!) during the reception. We also love KT's images of the saddles, the horses and the bride and groom in the stables. Don't miss the brightly colored pashmina favors! Happy Cinco de Mayo!
