Congrats to Bethany on her lovely Valentine’s Day inspiration shoot that appeared on Style Me Pretty; Kathleen comes through with another gorgeous DIY post on Twig & Thistle – this time for an Oscars bash; one of the most jaw dropping shoots I’ve seen in a long time from Lollipop Events; love the use of [...]

Fab in Fabric: Beautiful Boutonnieres from Peppermint Cloud

Etsy’s search engine is my best friend. Yes, I have to sift through pages of things I’m not interested, but when it brings me back gems like today’s featured store, I just want to give it a big ol’ digital hug.

Perfectly Penned: Calligraphy by Xandra Y. Zamora of XYZ Ink

Wedding 101: Getting an A on Your E-Session

One of our readers, Anna, sent in her engagement session to me the other day (aren’t they so cute?) and when I stumbled across the above photo, I thought it was a good example of a discussion I’ve been having with my Nonpareil Magazine partner, Kristen of Paper Crave. If you’ve never seen me talk [...]

Cute and Contemporary Dresses from Amanda Archer

I’ve been a fan of Amanda Archer‘s work for a while – and was shocked this past weekend to find that I hadn’t featured on it on IB before! Her Anthropologie-meets-Melissa Sweet aesthetic is stylish, modern, and absolutely stunning. Amanda’s collection features great bridesmaid finds as well as chic bridal alternates for someone who’s looking [...]

Lacy and Lovely: Adorable and Affordable Accessories from Little White Dresser

I had a decently large flower fascinator in my hair for my wedding, which was a vintage-meets-modern event, but I would have hands down gone for one of these lovely pieces from Little [...]
