ehh...

oh ladies!  i am so sorry that i have been absent this week.  well, long story short, i apparently have some kind of virus.  i should find out today what the tests on my blood showed and hopefully we can figure out why i get dizzy walking across the room, why can't eat hardly anything, why i am so tired, and perhaps why i have lost 3 lbs in 7 days when i am over 6 months pregnant.  not good--yuck.  

so hopefully you shall see some more weddings fresh up next week.  and i pray you are all healthy and stay healthy!!

gown friday: giambattista valli trunk show

oh yes! it's friday :) i cannot believe it's almost the end of october...seriously, either time is going faster or i am getting old. okay, i'll go with time going faster. anyway, besides the point, because i am so excited (and jealous) to announce the exclusive giambattista valli trunk show at bergdorf goodman october 28th & 29th. giambattista valli is debuting his spring 2009 bridal collection and his gowns will only be avaliable at bergdorf goodman.

the bridal salon is located on the store’s seventh floor and offers a full range of services for the bride-to-be and 12 european and american designer bridal gown collections. this is the place to be! oh, if only portland was like new york...well, at least we could have a bergdorf goodman so i could go to the trunk show :) again, besides the point. this has to be one of my favorite collections for spring 2009--in july i featured his gowns, but i cannot resist showing them again with some gowns i did not have access to. love them, love them!!! i hope you take full advantage of this exclusive trunk show and reserve your spot today.

bridal jewelry exclusive: tigerlilly!

morning! so i received an e-mail from the fabulous tigerlilly ladies yesterday announcing a fantastic sample sale going on right now! due to a large amount of remaining sample items from the recent new york bridal market week, they have tons of samples they want to make available to YOU for 50% off the original price. this is a killer deal and i hope you take full advantage of it. tigerlilly offers such a great range of designs--anything from the bohemian beauty to the chic uptown modern bride. i have only chosen some of thier designs to share with you, but check out their website for more jewelry!

so, here's what you need to know:
~ there are hundreds of samples
~ ALL samples are 50% off
~ there are too many samples available to list all of them, so interested brides should email tigerlilly at sales@tigerlillyjewelry.com to see if they have a sample of their favorite design(s). If they do, tigerlilly will mail you back, tell you how to order, and hold the piece(s) for 8 hours
~ tigerlilly will ship anywhere in the world
~ the same return policy applies to sample sale items - meaning if a piece won't work, it's completely returnable
~ some of our most popular pieces are still available! there are literally hundreds of samples here ~ I suspect that it's going to take some time to sell all of the samples - so this sale will probably extend for at least a week or 2 (or more!)

cox & cox decor

so i have been graced with the first bout of sickness this season. ehhh. so hard when you have an active, energetic 1 year old and a belly that is 6 months along :) but i can always find some relaxation when looking through cox & cox. they have their new autumn 2008 collection out now and i love it!! just fabulous touches for any wedding.

kate spade

happy monday! i found these simply gorgeous kate spade wedding invites on crane & co. this morning. i love pretty much anything kate does, and these are fantastic! oh, and if you were wondering, my son's 1st birthday went well yesterday--though i could never come close martha's status, i think the party went off wonderfully!! ...and my son was introduced to sweets. oh my goodness, when he found frosting i thought his head was going to explode he was so excited :)

gown friday!

well, i hope all of you had a wonderful week and have an even better weekend--i will be busy mama for my son's birthday! these gowns are from lela rose's spring 2009 collection. such simple elegance. i love the one above, and can you believe i actually dreamt of it last night? when you start doing that you wonder if you should take a vacation from your job/hobby and clean your palette :)
