Kate Spade: Wedding Belles!

I honestly believe this. We grow up playing Cinderella until someday, we are Cinderella, getting swept away by Prince Charming. Then, we dress our best. We try on gown after gown, bridesmaid dress after bridesmaid dress, constantly playing dress-up. No matter how much we say we hate it, let's be honest,

We all really love it, still just as much as when we were kids.

When I recently found out that Kate Spade has a little bridal line,

I WENT MAD.

It's simple, it's beautiful, and it's preppy enough for me!

The invitations have the absolute most adorable little envelopes, too!

I just love how they match the cards so adorably. 

(Had to throw the pink with the bow in for good measure!)

There are also the sweetest little bridesmaids/maid of honor gifts.

I am a HUGE advocate for clutches, so I about died when I saw these gems:

The adorable bracelet is for the lovely ladies, too!

What are your favorite stores with Bridal collections?

Bridal mood boards.

Years ago, probably two, I discovered a wonderful little tool called Polyvore.

Polyvore is where this girl/anyone can design fashion sets, interior design boards, or anything really.

While a lot of people use them for regular fashion, I tend to use them for my bridal mood boards, which I made over one year ago when I first became interested in the bridal industry. 

Here is a look back at my most memorable bridal boards. 

Painterly Hues: An artistic wedding.

Fallen Hues: Obviously Fall inspired.

Cookie Cutter Tones: for the pastel lover.

Cherry Tones: For a more summery look.

Spicy Tones: for a more dramatic flair.

Thistled Blues: Cinderella, anyone?

The Knot, Cream and Feathers: Inspired by an old issue of The Knot and a love for The Great Gatsby.

To the Bridezilla:

We all know, no matter how much we hate to admit it, that our bridesmaids get a lot of attitude from us soon-to-be newlyweds. Most of the time, as undeserving as they are, they take it with a grain of salt in realization that payback is a bitch and it'll be over soon enough.

Why don't you show them how appreciative you are about their understanding and patience? 

& with that: Gifts.

1. Baby Lips, that'll make a wonderful distraction for them when they really want to tell you to shove it! Ha!

Find all the flavors and colors here!

2. Monogrammed shirts for getting ready together on your big day. How cute is that?!

Go on & play, ladies! Thank you, Ralph Lauren!

3. To match the shirts, monogrammed necklaces in either silver or gold! Repeat the cuteness.

Oh, how I love Etsy.

4. Old Navy flip flops in bright and happy colors. Instant cheer!

Why wouldn't you want these?!

5. Matching, different colored chevron clutches, to hold all of their essentials.

Again, Bless You, Etsy.

6. Gorgeous Lilly Pulitzer travel mugs in different patterns and prints for all the girls!

Loving Lilly!

Play nice ladies!
