* Anne Sage on Vintage Romance: Part One

Posted on January 19th, 2010 by Kate. Filed under Color Palettes, Wedding Inspiration.


One Lovely Day is delighted to have Anne Sage of The City Sage share gorgeous wedding decor inspiration and a creative approach to Vintage Romance in a three part series.

Brides will always look to the past for inspiration and ideas. After all, weddings are a celebration of our heritage and history – a point at which the past meets the future. When planning the theme and details of your wedding, consider not only family traditions but also the history of your location or a particular decade that fascinates you. For 2010, there are three untapped eras that yield three different takes on that catchall wedding phrase, Vintage Romance!

Victorian Drama:
Inject the glamour and opulence of the 1870’s into an luxe winter affair. Draw upon textures like richly veined marble, delicate handmade lace, and tarnished gold, then waltz the night away amongst Gilded Age architecture. Required viewing: the recently released Sherlock Holmes

* A Love Affair with Ruffles

Posted on January 15th, 2010 by Kate. Filed under Wedding Dress.


Whether they adorn the entire skirt or simply add flounce to a neckline, ruffles add a hint of glam and romance like nothing else.  Because a ruffle is simply an addition or gather of fabric, there is an elegant continuity in the way it embellishes a bridal gown…  With ruffles making a huge comeback this season, sigh, it must be love!

* A Sweet Champagne Reception

Posted on January 14th, 2010 by Jeannie. Filed under Reception.


I learned something new yesterday. That once upon a time, champagne and cake was the usual fare for wedding receptions. No filet mignon, chicken marsala or appetizers galore! I don’t know anyone who would complain about enjoying a party filled with sweets, fresh fruit, love and champagne! See our complete article here!

I know many of us are looking ahead to spring, but I had to share this winter dessert table – after all – many of us are planning weddings for next holiday season. This is one of the most breathtaking creations I have seen, done by the brilliant team at Lollipop Event and Designs. Enjoy the white wonderland!

* Doggone Adorable!

Posted on January 8th, 2010 by Jeannie. Filed under Do It Yourself, Wedding Invitations.


Being the insane dog lover that I am, I wanted to find a way to incorporate my furbaby into our wedding. Buster (my mini Aussie) doesn’t know it yet, but he will be doing a pose very similar to this one for our save-the-dates! These fabulous thank you cards from Weddingbee’s own Mrs. Cowboy Boot only cost $85. Bravo!

* Whimsy Woods Wedding Inspiration

Posted on January 7th, 2010 by Jeannie. Filed under Things we heart.


I have always loved beach weddings, but am slowly but becoming an even bigger fan of barnyard/farmhouse/woodsy weddings.

The always clever Rock ‘n Roll bride posted shots from this wedding-inspired photo shoot in the woods, and I love every last detail! How amazing would this be? Simple lighting and candles everywhere! The lantern- adorned tree trunks are the perfect touch.
