Designer unknown. Eek.
This backless dress is a beauty. I love the lines and detail, it’s simple and sexy. It’s such a shame I cannot find the name of the designer. If you know who the designer is, please do tell?

Last weekend, I helped Naturally Chic create a brides vision for her big day.
This delightful vision included a Cake Buffet! Consisting of 9 different but all delicious, easthetically pleasing, cake creations. I got to thinking. If I had a cake buffet, what cakes would I offer my guests?
Every registry should include one of these!
The answer to a million questions in one location.
“Honey, where’s my …….??” You figure it out!
Ha ha. Love it! I have to get one of these.
Imagine laying your head down at night on this whimsical wonder!
This one of a kind, delightful sculpture would definately be the focus of any bedroom.

I love Alicia Swedenborg!
Back in February Jesse and I went to Vegas for the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International convention (otherwise known as WPPI) which was an experience I will never forget.
We had never been to Vegas, nor had we experienced the intensity of WPPI and what it has to offer. Early mornings just to wait hours in queue to see the speaker that inspires you, the endless amount of walking around the MGM, the networking and the opportunities to connect with the best in the business. Priceless.
Amidst the mayhem, we caught up with a beautiful and very talented girl named Alicia Swedenborg. A very loving person, who cries at the drop of a hat. I miss her dearly and wish we lived closer.
Today, I am showcasing her undeniable talent and creativity.
Her work is breathtaking. Enjoy.
Well, I know for sure I have the attention of all girls out there!
So, point your man in the right direction.
After all your just helping him out right?
Helping him make an informed decision.
Giving him knowledge that could help him save money and make the purchase with pride. It’s pretty simple really. Allow me to introduce The four C’S!
Carat Weight: Diamonds are measured in carats. One carat equals approximately 1/5 of a gram. A point system is applied to carat weights with one carat equal to 100 points.
Cut: How much a diamond sparkles and shows it’s brilliance is determined by the cut. The proportion of the diamond and the amount of angles cut into the stone are reflected in grades from Poor to Excellent.
Clarity: Flawless means no flaws are visible to the human eye. Flaws are cracks, cloudiness, chips and marks throughout the diamond. The more flaws a diamond has the lower the classification of clarity.
Colour: Classified from the ideal Colourless through to Light Yellow.
That’s it, that’s all! Just remember the 4 C’s!
Much love and respect goes out to a very talented photographer and good friend of mine Eric Daigle!
Based out of Canmore, Alberta he has provided beautiful and emotional images to his clients. He is passionate about photography and truly loves what he does for a living. His work deserves recognition and today he was featured on the wonderful, wedding website Style Me Pretty!

Go Glamp Yourself!
Glamourous camping otherwise known as “glamping” has just topped my “to do” list!
Over the last couple of weekends, I have been camping in the beautiful Canadian Rockies. Whilst I consider myself a glamper of sorts, www.pawsup.com has proven my efforts of thai coconut curry chicken on the barbecue, memory foam mattress, boom box handbag and toblerone chocolate seem somewhat meager.
Paws up glamping offers butler tent service, gourmet chefs, super comy beds and each tent has it’s own private bathroom! Located in Missoula, Montana overlooking the Blackfoot River, the scenery is beautiful and peaceful. Don’t let it’s remote location and feel fool you though, the site has cell phone coverage and internet services.
Who wants to come glamping with me?
How do you tell family and friends where your wedding registry is without seeming tacky?
Already, I’ve seen some conflict to this statement on other wedding websites saying it is presumptuous for you to think that everyone is going to bring you a gift. Lets get real here, who shows up to a wedding without a gift of sorts. Cash in a card, a present wrapped in pretty paper or a thoughtful, handmade creation of some sort? No-one.
So, without further adieu I give to you, the latest trend in letting everyone know where you are registered. This helps your guests by reducing shopping time (we all have busy lives) and directs them to a selection of pre-approved gifts that eliminates the chance of you unwrapping a bunch of toasters!
Ask any wedding industry expert and they will tell you it is considered faux pas to send details of your registry with your wedding invitations.
In the tech savvy world we live in, why not send out your “Save the Date” cards with details of a wedding website they can access for further information. Your website can provide details of the day and time, location, accommodation in the area, maps on how to get there, photographs, a blog, manage RSVP’s and of course provide links to your registry information!
For your older generation guests who perhaps don’t know how to send a text message or what the internet is, word of mouth is the way to go. Tell both of your parents where you are registered, they take more phone calls than anyone else preceding your wedding. Guaranteed the grandparents will give them a call! Tell your best man and bridesmaids also, the more people spreading the word for you the better. But be careful, don’t tell other guests where you are registered unless they specifically ask. This is considered too direct and not a class act!
There are some free sites where you can create your own wedding website, check out www.ewedding.com, www.weddingwindow.co or www.theknot.com
Alternatively, you can pay money for more features or a better design. If you can’t get what you want from a free site check out www.theweddinghandbag.com, www.wedquarters.com or www.elegantweddingwebsites.com to name just a few!
I hope this helps the couples out there who are struggling with this dilemma.
Happy Days!
Food + Fashion. Two of my favourite things combined!
Imagine how long it would have taken to complete this eye-catching, candy creation and how much candy would have been consumed in the process.
