* Earthy and Eco: Adele Wechsler 2011

Posted on October 27th, 2010 by Kate. Filed under Bridesmaids, Wedding Dress.


Adele Wechsler showed off a totally re-vamped bridal collection and new headpiece and wedding party collections during New York bridal market!

The headpieces are such a fabulous addition– they are so angelic and ethereal to me.  I love the loose, natural hairstyles by Aveda too…

In the dress department, she stayed true to her earthy, bohemain style- but infused the collection with chic, fitted sillhouettes and gorgeous textured fabrics.

And last but not least, introducing the new bridesmaid dresses in signature heirloom colors!  All of Adele’s gowns are vegetable-dyed.. giving these frocks pretty, organic hues.

* Shake It Up…

Posted on October 27th, 2010 by Jeannie. Filed under Do It Yourself.


I am completely digging this handcrafted project sent over by Victoria from City Cradle Design. We like to call them “kissing shakers,” a sweet alternative to having guests tap glasses when they’d like to see the bride and groom smooch. A big bonus: no broken wine glasses or mishaps!

Victoria was also kind enough to send pdf’s of the adorable labels – get them here. See the step-by-step of how to create these lovely shakers! XOXO
