You do learn something new everyday... I had never heard of Theodor Fahrner until I saw this post about him on Alexis Bittar's Blog. Love love loving the natural elements used with the bold color.
Laura Preshong Wedding in the latest edition of Boston Magazine Wedding. What a beautiful full page layout featuring five of my green wedding rings and two additional wedding bands from gallery artists, Anne Sportun and Midori Ferris Wayne. We're on page 5 of the on-line edition. "Hollar"! See the full shoot here.

Dancing is key, long after the memory of how beautiful your special day was, a good party filled with laughter and dancing means lasting compliments. I came across this list of "First Dance Songs That Haven't Been Played To Death" on Offbeat Bride.
Why is the Wedding Dress given such a small amount of time on the runway. Have a small fashion show with your Bride's Maids (and Groom) on the way into the reception. Maybe a dress from YolanCris might make you feel inspired to jazz up the bridal march?
A thoughtful, and maybe a wee bit more traditional list of 56 "First Dance Songs From Real Weddings" at Martha Stewart Weddings.

Yours truly is a lover of the classic Breton stripe. You can pick me out of any crowd with my total New England, via France style, red pants, striped pull over, Jackie O's and loafers. A few favorite webshops.
A new favorite Chanceco.com. I can hear the rumble of the boat engines, and smell the sea in New England.
Red, White, and Blue seersucker shorts. Got these here for my dad for Father's Day, we both love them.

These days, wedding dresses need not be white -- or even dresses at all! Here are a few of our favorite non-traditional bride get-ups:
This blush pink dress by Jenny Packham is goooorgeous. More photos here.
This Italian wedding's theme was inspired by the bride's polka-dot dress! You can read their wedding story here.
This DIY dress is definitely one-of-a-kind...read all the details here.
And last but certainly not least...wedding overalls! Read all about this adorable couple's laid-back City Hall Wedding here.
What do you think -- would you wear any of these? Or would you (or did you) stick to a traditional white gown? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
