Check out the cover of our April 2010 edition! Sweet Art Wedding Cakes designed the breathtaking cake, and the photography was done by the wonderful Shane & Sunny. This marks the first time NWD has ever featured anything but a bride on the cover, but this cake was so cool, we couldn't not feature it. Also, keep an eye out for another cover this year featuring something other than a bride!
Video save-the-dates are awesome! Here's one from DIY Bride that had us cracking up. Making a video really allows you to be creative, funny, romantic...whatever you want!

I found my wedding shoes this past weekend. They are 4 ½ inches of pure bliss on my feet. Although they’re not yellow as I had originally intended, they are definitely my “Hello, Lover” shoes. I’ve been wearing them around the house because I hate to see them lie so lonely in their box. Thank you Badgley Mischka!
Today's inspiration board is a custom-made board for an NWD bride! Here are a few of the details she provided that helped inspire us: summer, citrus fruit, tangerine, lemon, tulips, daisies, and casual elegance.
Hope you like it!
We just had to share these gorgeous engagement photos, taken by A Better Exposure in Santa Monica, California. Destination engagement photos are becoming incredibly popular, and this location couldn't be any cooler!
One thing I have continually heard from past brides is that I MUST have a videographer! Brides that I have spoken with have said that they either wish they would have had their wedding videotaped or wish they would have had a professional tape it, not Uncle Joe!
How cute is this idea? Visit Our Best Bites for step-by-step instructions on how to create your own Pie in a Jar. This is a great idea for a cake substitute or wedding favors. Love it!

It's Friday, and that means it's time for another giveaway! JHD Photography is a fantastic photographer featured in the Real Wedding Section of the 2010 NWD magazine (check out the "A Midsummer Night's Dream" Wedding). If you need a last-minute photographer, you're in luck...because she is offering 25% off a wedding photography package for February or March 2010! Below are some samples of her fabulous photos.
I started out with one concept in mind, and ended up with something different - a sort of vintage French countryside/garden theme, with pale pink and gold hues. Hope you like it!
We love all of the intimate touches in this elegant wedding - from the place cards to the centerpieces, no detail was left ignored. Andrea Bibeault did a wonderful job capturing every magical moment!
Wow, that was a lot of alliteration...but we're excited to have Bailey back from her crazy holiday travels!
Back to planning I go! After truly enjoying my holiday season with many travels through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, I returned to the face wedding plans! When looking at the calendar and realizing I only had 4 months to go, I began to worry that I maybe shouldn't have enjoyed my holidays as much as I did. Well maybe not that, but I should have done some planning! So today I sit here and look at my countdown of 109 days till the wedding and couldn't be more excited, yet frantic!
It's all in the details. I have everything booked but now it's those second and third appointments that I need to get to, to go over the details! Since I am planning my wedding from Colorado, it doesn't exactly make it easy to get to those appointments either. But setting dates to get back definitely relieves me of some stress!
So for now I am doing dress alterations and looking for the perfect shoes, veil, and jewelry! Since I can't do anything "traditional" I have found that http://www.etsy.com/ is one of my new favorite websites! I found so many vintage/handmade goods-both gifts for my wedding party and fun stuff for me!
I guess I did get one thing done over the holidays...we were able to head out to Seattle, the home of Brighten Photography! (Check them out at http://www.brightenphotography.com/, they just launched a totally awesome new website!) We went out there to have our engagement pictures taken, and if I do say so myself, they turned out AMAZING! Thank you Ben and Whitney! Heres a peek!
