July 01st, 2009 | Category: Cool stuff

For all you brides out there that are in love with the whole vintage wedding concept or just can’t bear the thought of buying a bridemaid dress in a wedding dress store I found some wicked dresses that would be perfect for your ‘maids!  Prices range from $42 - $200 and all have quippy little names like  the “Paris at Dusk Dress” and the “Dancing in Manhattan Dress”.  “Cocktails at the Colosseum” was a definate favorite.  So hard to not to fill up my shopping cart, proceed to checkout and enter the visa number!  These little lovelies can be found on the fabulous www.modcloth.com.  Perfect for your mod, vintage or indie wedding!  Best news: they ship to Canada!

 Here are some pics of my favorites!  Happy shopping ladies!

Amazing new product from uniquityinvitations.com

March 17th, 2008 | Category: Cool stuff

Uniquity Invitations has un-veiled 9 new invitations on their fabulous DIY site…we have all been waiting a long time for an update like this so I thought I would share some of my favourites.  The best part about this is that you don’t even need to be a closet scrapbooker to do this!  If you can cut a straight line with a paper cutter you’re set.  All you need is a bottle of wine and a couple of ‘maids, some paper and some double sided tape!  I just did this myself for the first time and I was shocked at how easy it was to download, change, print and put together.  Happy crafting girls!  www.uniquityinvitations.com

Wedding Graffiti - How Cool Is That???

January 24th, 2008 | Category: Cool stuff

Every once in a while we find out about some really cool product or service and I just have to tell you about it.  This time it’s wedding graffiti.  “Wedding what?,” you ask.  Wedding Graffiti: removable, easy to apply, not damaging to surfaces, vinyl lettering: great for monograms on doors or champagne flutes or just about anything.  Stick it on your car, your favours, your walls…the dance floor.  Possibilities are endless.  The only limitations are basically your imagination (oh and that pesky place called your venue who might not be keen on putting 150 of these little gems on your martini glasses :))  Pick your colour, size, shape…I love this idea!
