Blog Love {Sparkliatti}

The Sparkliatti Blog, hosted by the oh-so-fabulous Sasha Souza, is one of my new favorites! After taking a glimpse at this gorgeous sunrise-inspired board, I just had to share! Check out her blog for non-stop eye candy and inspiration!

Also, if you're a bride-to-be, check out her great post on escort cards vs. place cards---this is a question asked so often, and she does a great job of summing up the differences----YES, they are 2 completely different things!

The {Ritzy Bee Blog} is one of my favorites. Check out the great information they have posted on Wedding Invitations. They have great tips listed on wording etiquette, titles {ie. Doctor vs. Dr.}, all those envelopes, and more! If you're not already stalking this blog, add it to your list!

Blog Love {Let's Eat Cake!}

(Let's Eat Cake!)

Today I came across something I had to share! Melissa at Masterpiece Weddings is hosting her first National Fundraiser, in the form of a Wedding Cake competition to support St. Jude's Children's Hospital! Chef's and amateurs alike will have the opportunity to compete before Judges that include World Renowned Pastry Chef's, and celebrities on their artistic abilities, intricate designs, and taste! At the end of the competition, spectators will be asked to join in on the fun and taste the cake!

I couldn't be more excited about what an amazing event this is to sponsor such a fabulous organization! They are looking for donations of all sorts to make this event a reality---from decor and volunteers to monetary donations and celebrity judges. Check out their Wish List, to see if you can help!

If you're a fellow wedding blogger, I know Melissa would love it for this information to get passed on to your readers----perhaps they can help! To learn more about St. Jude's, click here.

Blog Love {Something Old, Something New}

Always wanted to wear a designer gown? Perhaps you envisioned yourself in some Monique Lhuillier, Reem Acra, or Vera Wange splendor? Just a quick note to tell you to check out the post on Something Old, Something New about a new site called Bell'ancora! (I love Something Old, Something New, by the way, so add it to your google reader if you haven't already!)

This very exciting site allows recent brides to sell their once or never-worn gowns to future brides. Each gown is listed with pictures, size information, and even lists the original owner's measurements for more accurate sizing. Check out Something Old, Something New for more info, and check out Bell'ancora and start browsing for your designer duds.
