One of those days...

Today is one of those days. I am in need of a little extra inspiration and motivation. This picture always makes me look on the bright side, and there isn't anything that a little Michael Buble can't fix!

Also getting excited for our Martha Stewart Bridal Celebration tonight. Will post back tomorrow with some photos!

Wedding Costs

There is a new site that I just discovered called Cost of Wedding. Here, you can plug in your zip code, and the site determines what the average wedding costs in your area. Call me crazy, but this site is pretty spot on! It gives you the average, and then explains how couples tend to spend 50% MORE (yikes!) then what they originally budgeted for! Hopefully with the assistance of a lovely planner (wink, wink) they will keep you a bit more on track.

The average wedding for my area is between $24,677 and $41,129. Which I have to agree with.  Check out your area and see if you agree!

Sleigh Bells Ring

Yes, it's true. I can't believe it either, but I am already gathering idea's for holiday cards! Most designers are just beginning to post their new 2010 holidays, but I've looked back a few years for some inspiration. Which one is your favorite?

Lets Hear It For New York

The streets of NYC. Although it's crazy, I love it. For whatever reason just being there makes you feel like anything is possible.

Soft Pretzels

I have a weakness for soft pretzels. When I came across this post on Hither and Thither, I just needed to share! If these pretzels from Sigmund Pretzel Shop on Avenue B don't make you hungry, I don't know what will!

Lace Marchesa Mini

Loving this white lace Marchesa that Lauren Conrad wore in NYC just the other day. If you are a bride looking to slip into a cute mini for your reception, look no further!

And I'll take her shoes too. =)
