Maddy on OSBP: Beautiful Envelopes on a Budget

I’m back at Oh So Beautiful Paper again filling in for the lovely Nole while she’s taking care of some things, and since budget is on everyone’s minds nowadays, I figured I’d give you a heads up about my newest post there.

“I Do” Expect More!

I’m one of the millions of Target junkies out there. Since I was first introduced to the Bullseye when I was 17 (there aren’t many stores in the New York City area, if you’re wondering why it took so long) and since then, I’ve had the layout of the store memorized. It’s a treasure trove [...]

(If you notice the above, I finally found a way to incorporate the [...]

Easy, Breezy and Beautiful Tablescape by La Partie Events

It seems like forever ago that I featured Megan of La Partie Events here on the Inspired Bride, but I’m super excited to share her work again. Megan was kind enough to share this lovely, easy-to-reproduce tablescape that is perfect for a summer backyard wedding or bridal shower. I absolutely love the pop of white [...]

Lovely Dresses from Martina Liana

When it comes to wedding dresses, my taste is defined by one overarching rule: don’t put a lot of junk on it. Lace and bead work is fine, but if there’s so much on a dress that it weighs more than you do, I think it starts to feel like overcompensation for something the design’s [...]

Announcements, and Such

Hey guys! Sorry to take a break in the action, but I wanted to pop my head in here for a moment and give you guys some info. First: I’m going to be guest blogging at Oh So Beautiful Paper this week while the editor and writer, Nole, takes a short break. I hope you’ll [...]
