Margaret, one of the founders of Project Wedding and Enrout, is back with yet another dreamy honeymoon destination for us!  This time she has hand-picked Giraffe Manor, a beautiful boutique hotel near Nairobi, Kenya.  This hidden gem pairs the exotic Kenyan countryside with a close proximity to a bustling city.  You and your beloved will have plenty to explore and lots of comfy cozy space for leisure!  (Did I mention you can get up close and personal with both adult and baby giraffes)?!

So, do you want to lounge with the giraffes?  {Click Here} to see more…

And if you’re looking for an authentic honeymoon experience, Enrout has vacation rentals, local lodging, and hotel stays in hundreds of cities.

One of the most important parts of your party/big day is the dessert spread! I am completely obsessed with this one - complete with a chandelier - from sTORIbook weddings, Tori Spelling’s new show. Sweet & Saucy bake shop provided the spread of unforgettable sweets!

I was so happy when Chelsea Fuss sent over this bouquet idea … flowers for the mother-of-the-bride-and-groom instead of corsages. I was even happier when I saw the images, so pretty and fitting of a wonderful mom!

By the way, Chelsea’s calendar for wedding styling is booking up - but she does still have 5 slots open for 2011! She is so incredible creative and talented - I would hire her in a split second!

One of the best bakeries in all of Los Angeles, Sweet and Saucy Bake Shop, have unveiled some of their very latest wedding cake creations. I am in awe of them and had to share the sweetness. Who knew a mustard yellow cake could be so beautiful? The golden goodies, below, are actually girl scout cookies coated in edible gold paint.

Vicki- the talented artist behind Simply Hue - snaps the sweetest pics. Since Valentine’s Day is nearing ( it’s just 5 days away)!  I wanted to share some her creations… Oh.. and we’re also giving away two of her pretty prints {over here}.

You can catch more of Vicki’s work on her blog and in her shop! xo

It is like five times as exciting when you get a precious present … and there has been serious thought, time and care that goes into its packaging. Maybe it’s just me, but it means alot and I still remember those who took the extra effort to present a token of appreciation and wrapped it up in a creative way. As I always say, it is the little things!

How cute are these little wedding favor boxes? Here’s a little inspiration from Favors by PW!

I’ll take one of each, and the little goodies inside, thank you very much :)!

.

I hope you have a romantic New Years celebration!  See you in 2011…. we have some beautiful things in store ♥.

Picture this: instead of the traditional rice tossing, you’ve got mini-yarn balls flying through the air as you and your beloved exit your reception! I love the thought of this … and the photos would be so cute! Another plus, they can be made in any color you desire. See full instructions here.
