Angelic & Lovely

These glowing, angelic photos are by the talented Anna Wolf. She just launched her new website and it is amazing!
I can't get over how beautiful the makeup is on these girls, the eyes and lips are perfect, and I simply love the billy ball adorned braid!

As Cute As A Button

How gorgeous are these baby shower favors and decor from D-Tales Event? I love the buttoned up favors and jelly beans in salt & pepper shakers, such beautifully sweet ideas! And the simple flower arrangements are done with such sophistication.

Lovely Ribbon Accessories

I can't believe it has been almost a year since I posted about the lovely and delicate cake toppers of Chapeau de Gateau. I really love Alison's more modern cake toppers as well as her ribbon and rope fashion accessories. The craftsmanship is divine!

A Lovely Little Couple

How cute is this little couple? I love vintage salt and pepper shakers!

1 Pink Balloon

Perfection is what I think when I see Joanna's engagement photos. Her photographer Max Wagner has a lovely eye for composition and color and most important capturing their happiness and love.

What A Year It's Been!!!

I want to take a moment to wish you all a safe and happy holiday season. I hope you all had a wonderful and productive year and I look forward to seeing you again in 2009!

I have to say 2008 has been my best and busiest year yet. Here is a brief timeline of the past year of my life:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We finally got married!!! The best celebration of our lives, with our closest friends and family members all in Jamaica. I still get chills thinking about how perfect everything went.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I left my job as a product designer for Jonathan Adler to start my own stationery company. I can't wait to launch my website and collection early next year. I was hoping to get everything up and running by the end of the year but then a little something happened...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The biggest and best surprise of my life, I am six months pregnant!!! Patrick and I couldn't be more excited!!! I can't wait to share thoughts and design ideas about preparing for this aspect of my life. It was so amazing to share my wedding planning process with you and in return fall in love with anything and everything weddings! But because I am now entering a whole new planning process, I look forward to sharing my finds and thoughts with you on my blog!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I want to thank you all for your support and visits to Thoughtful Day! I look forward to seeing you back in the New Year and I wish you all a healthy, happy and prosperous 2009.

p.s. Please send me an email if you would like to be notified of the launch of my website. I can't wait to show you all!

'Tis the Season

Every year we head up to midtown to look at the annual holiday display windows along 5th Ave. And as always, Bergdorf Goodman outdid it's competition (in my opinion) with their over the top, glamorous and decadently excessive window displays. Click here to see last years Bergdorf's (and Barney's) windows. So much work and thought goes into these!

Crissy's DIY Bouquet

Crissy left a comment with a link to the bouquet she created for her own wedding in Italy (without any practice!). It's simply beautiful! Also posted are a few gorgeous shots from her wedding in Siena.

Thanks Crissy!

DIY Flowers

A while back, A Cup of Jo posted about supermarket wedding bouquets and after finally getting around to looking at the guide on Real Simple I couldn't resist posting a few of my favorites. You could easily get a few bouquets out of $20-30 worth of supermarket flowers!

Amazing.

Absolutely beautiful. Need I say more?
