Simply Modern Weddings

there is nothing more fabulous than giving back to an industry that gives us so much! being a part of helping someone’s love story makes what we do worth so much more than monetary gain…it’s not only a blessing, but deeply humbling.

this is why i am so very excited and honored to be a part of wish upon a wedding. this is a newly created nonprofit organization that helps produce weddings for terminally ill patients across america. there are so many great ways to get involved with this amazing organization, you can make a donation, couples can donate on behalf of their guests as wedding favors, and wedding professionals can join me in becoming a wish grantor or committee volunteer. wish upon a wedding is making dreams come true, and that is truly fabulous!

below are fun engagement photos captured by stella sweet of florence and michael, the 1st wish recipients that are getting married next weekend! best wishes to them for a beautiful day!

i just adore my past bride alison…with her fabulous self! you may remember her from the stylish santa monica wedding with that gorgeous little pale peach gown she wore!

alison has a new reel on her blog ali on the go of her recent style expert hostings. check it out below! her blog is definitely a “must read” if you like to stay hip to what’s great in style, food, travel, etc.

true friday fabulousness!!!

just wanted to give you all some of this amy atlas lovin below before signing off for the weekend. hope that your valentine’s day is extra sweet this year!

p.s. if you a still scrambling to get a gift for your love, stop by sweet and saucy today or tomorrow and get some delicious treats and a beautiful floral arrangement from jl design’s pop-up shop. you know i love when melody & carissa team up for fabulousness in the store!

yesiree, photo friday has evolved for 2010…i now give you friday fabulousness!

while trying to think of a new name for friday, i came up with friday fabulousness… because of my love of the word “fabulous” (must be all those years watching sex and the city!) and over-usage of ellipses in my sentences (don’t laugh, i even talk with mental “…” in my head). so i decided to embrace my writing idiosyncrasies and just rock it out!

every friday will feature some fabulous goodie found during the week that i just have to share, be it an amazing wedding image, a sassy wedding gown, cool etsy find, or some other random love that i want to send out into the blog atmosphere. hope you love what i have in store for you…i know i do!

this week’s fabulousness is from ruche’s spring 2010 lookbook shot by stephanie williams. can this image be any cooler? so much wedding inspiration can be pulled from this…color ideas, the vintage books, an outfit for your bridesmaids, a wall of pages as a cool photobooth backdrop, it’s just yummy to the core! me loves it!
