Monogrammed Love

Recently I was in an Anthropologie store and as always I left inspired and my pockets were a little lighter. What I have been most impressed with lately is there abundance of monogrammed items. I saw these monogrammed soap dish sets and they are gorgeous. There are a lot of places that do monogrammed items and often they lack personality, but Anthropologie has really taken it to the next level.

On the home front, Jonathan Adler has a fun selection of monogrammed letter pillows, how perfect would these be as a gift for a couple, their two initials and an ampersand or even personalized for your wedding party?

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!

Colorful, Creative Favors

I love the idea of having these mini-colored pencils used as favors at a wedding. How cute would it be to put your label on top of theirs? With a little a pad of paper, possibly monogramed, it would be the perfect favor set! Who said only the kids get to have fun coloring at weddings?

The Sanctity of Marriage

This American Life is my all time favorite show to listen to, lately it has taken over my life as I listen to episodes all day long while working on the computer. This particular episode "The Sanctity of Marriage" is a great listen, and relevant to all of us, whether we are married or not.

Upgrade Your Milk Jar

I am obsessed with these engraved and gilded milk jars by Thomas Kral. I have always loved flower arrangements set in vintage milk jars, but these gilded ones bring them to a whole-nother level.

The Perfect Evening Dress

This past weekend I went to a wedding after party and the bride was wearing this dress from Dior. Lately I have been obsessed with short wedding dresses and this one was just perfect, especially for an evening wedding.

A great idea...

The offsite wedding after party is such a good idea if you want to have a really small wedding and reception or can't afford to invite all of your friends. It is a total win win situation, you get to spend quality time with all of your family, and then continue to celebrate with all of your friends after the dinner!
