Flight 001

Flight 001 is a great little boutique for everything travel related. Lucky me, there is one right down the street from my apartment in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. The interior of the shop has been designed to feel like a stylish airplane cabin, I love the walnut veneer. It's great place to pick up some small favors to go inside a welcome tote, especially perfect for a destination wedding. Some are a little pricey if you have to buy a lot, but if you are having a smaller wedding some of these items are easily manageable.

(top l-r) E- Boost Packets will help keep your guests immunity up for a weekend of fun! These Essential Wipes are refreshing lemon towelettes, perfect after a long flight. (middle l-r) I love this vintage inspired Air Ticket Memo pad designed to look like a plane ticket. This on the go Mini Ping Pong Game will actively suit the restless children (and adults!) at any of your festivities.

Monique Lhuillier for Royal Doulton

I am thrilled to see that Monique Lhuillier launched a dinnerware collection for Royal Doulton. It makes perfect sense. All of the gorgeous and lavish details found on her gowns have inspired elegant dinnerware and stemware patterns. I love the subtle colors, especially the pearlescent warm grey hue on the Femme Fatale collection with the embossed lizard skin...I think it's brilliant! The delicate rings with scattered dots on the Étoile drinkware are just too precious and don't get me started on the Blanc vase, it's my favorite! If you can't afford your dream Monique Lhuillier gown, you can still let her be a part of your life. All of the dinnerware, vases and stemware are available at Bloomingdales.

Mr. Boddington's Studio

Ever since I first saw a Mr. Boddington's wedding invite in New York Mag's Wedding issue Summer 2007 I have been totally inspired. I am in love with the fonts, colors and patterns they use for all of their stationery. Their invites are completely sophisticated, original, and charming with all of the beautiful and thoughtful details. I am in the process of designing my own invites and I constantly go back to theirs for inspiration.

Hello Lover...

What better way to start the new year than hunt for the perfect pair of wedding sandals. It is quite easy with all of the beautiful sandals out there right now! I plan on splurging on the shoes since I saved big time on my dress. I figure I only get to wear my dress once, but I can wear the sandals for years to come!
