Our Sweet Day in May was featured on the ultimate wedding blog, Style Me Pretty today! To see more photos of our wonderful day visit the post. I planned and designed all of the details myself, including the letterpress invitations, so much fun! I also can’t say enough good things about our wonderful photographer, Yvonne Wong, seriously she’s incredible. The best part of the day though? Marrying my best friend!
Throughout the month of May I will be talking about the details of our wedding, where I found many of our details and the inspiration behind them!
I am still coming off my royal wedding high. What a lovely wedding! I am still dreaming about Kate’s beautiful dress (which made me immediately think of Princess Grace Kelly) and her sweet bouquet. I spent the evening with my good friend Nikki, we made it all the way though the service before we crashed! (we googled the kiss later when we woke up!) I think the draw to this wedding for me is the fairy tail love story element to their romance and the tradition of a monarchy and a country that was on display. I also feel like Kate is the ultimate girl next door, she seems so sweet and down to earth, she even wore a sweet little Zara dress to start her honeymoon weekend the next day! It was a fun night to be a girly girl and think about what it would be like to become a real princess. The bishop at their wedding also made a comment that got me thinking of something even more exciting; we all can have a royal wedding, because for those of us who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, we become sons and daughters of a King, thus we are royalty as well. I love that! What did you think of the wedding this weekend?!
My friend Sam introduced me to blog What I Wore and now I am obsessed! (Seriously, if you haven’t checked this blog out, do!) The other day I ran across a post that was so inspiring I couldn’t handle it! I love the chic southwestern outfit she put together. It’s adorable, feminine and best of all I am drooling over her turquoise necklace. I wish the nice weather would come so I could put together an outfit like this! I just need a big statement turquoise piece, which I think ties this outfit together. I have been debating about the purchase of a statement turquoise necklace and now (especially after seeing this outfit) I think I’m ready to take the plunge. Here are some of my favorite turquoise pieces out there in Internet land…
Figure 1| This one is my fav…I love love love this J Crew necklace that came out a few years ago. There are “originals” being sold on e bay right now for around $40. They are probably copies, which doesn’t worry me because this isn’t an everyday piece. I have bid on it a few times and have yet to win…but I have a feeling it will be joining my jewelry collection soon. Find the ebay version here or search JCrew turquoise necklace on ebay.
