Living Room
This is so cool. Even though is it not very practical and would never work in most climates, I just love the different textures of the couches, accented with the bright colours.
The event was done by Details Details, an American event management company, from the blog Style Me Pretty.

Sneak Peek! Autumn Cover
Hi all,
My apologies for my lazy blogging lately-we are sending the mag to the printers today! I wanted to give a little look at our new front cover. It is beautiful. We have to say a big thank you to Jose Villa, the kind photographer in America who allowed us to use the image of a wedding he shot of Chelsea and Tec.

Ok that's enough self-promotion for one day...

Autumn Issue of B
Sorry for my absence. The autumn issue will be out in a couple weeks, which makes us B mag girls’ very busy people. I know I am the editor, and a tad bias, but I just have to say that this issue is looking to be the best yet. We have so many awesome features, I am so excited about them! As a little taster...
We will be featuring the best of Tuscany. I was there in May (where my fianc� proposed) and decided to write about my favourite experiences. I was in Florence and San Felice Winery (a-m-a-z-i-n-g).
Barcelona Fashion Week...enough said.
One of my favourite daily doses of inspiration is the Classic Bride Blog, which is why I was thrilled to get the Classic Bride herself in the magazine!
And finally (for now). Cakes from Martha Stewart!

Pretty in Pink
I love pink... and I don't care who knows! If my wedding did not involve a male (not sure how that would work) I would be very tempted to deck out the entire event in luscious pinks.This montage are my favaourites from the latest B Magazine obsession, Martha Stewart. Her website is awesome, check it out for loads of DIY and inspiration ideas.

My wedding is real...
I have just spent the last week doing nothing but wedding plans and the wonderful but terrifying reality that my wedding is actually happening has set in. My fianc� and I travelled to my home town in America to plan everything to do with our wedding. We had 5 short days to get it all done, all we had when we arrived was a venue...But I am happy to say we got everything (and then some) done. I have to admit, it feels great to have so much done and I feel even better about the decisions we made. Here are just a couple things we tied up...
Flowers: Basically my flower choice has become the theme of the wedding. I adore hydrangeas and so 100% of our flowers will be blue and cream hydrangeas. Everywhere. Seriously. They are too pretty on their own to put them with any other sort of flower.
Invitations: I fell in love with these from Happy Ever After, Karen is a dream to work with!

CUPCAKES!!!
Some say they're the best gash darn cakes around (others are too busy stuffing their face with them to say anything at all).

What happens in Vegas...
I have always wanted to say that. I am heading to Vegas tomorrow to meet my sisters and friends for my suedo hen party! I have never been before and I cannot even wait. Is it sad that the most exciting thing to me is getting a tan and eating Cheescake Factory (the Godiva cheescake is the most amazing thing in the world)? We are staying in the penthouse of the Bellagio!

Bouquets I love...
I learned from this exercise that I love peonies and hydrangeas...and any flower that looks like them.

Lighting
The right lighting is one of the most overlooked details of a wedding. To really set the mood and tone for your day getting the right lights is imperative-and doesn't have to be expensive. Natural light can be beautiful, especially with stained glass (ie in the church) if you get a sunny day. But my favourite lighting is candle light. I love the softness of it, and all around natural romance. There are so many types of candle holders and votives that the possibilities are endless. Another trend is paper lanterns with LED candles or strings of bulbs. Here are some ideas:

Gifts for the Bridesmaids
I was thinking about bridesmaid gifts...what is a bridesmaid gift supposed to be? Just a gift of thanks? Or a keepsake? I have decided I want my gifts to be momentos of the day, and generally my relationship with each bridesmaid (there are 8, so its a big enough task!). I like the idea of jewellery. My recent addiction to etsy.com found me these little treasures.

Words of Wisdom from 2000 Dollar Wedding
Dearest Bride-to-Be:
The 12-18 months of wedding planning will pass in a matter of hours or days. When it’s all said and done, the photos will be the primary artifact remaining. My wish for you—when you look back at those photos—is for you to think:
Look at how relaxed I was. Fully present in the moment. Basking in it. Soaking it in. I was not saturated in stress. My shoes and dress were comfortable enough for dancing. My beauty radiated out of me; it was not applied to me.
I got to spend quality time with my friends and family. I was myself, not a show. In fact, I was my fullest expression of self. I do not remember whether the invitations were letterpress or whether the flowers at the ceremony were the same ones at the reception.The wedding favors or the fanciness of the food did not make memories. The sincerity did. The connection did. The time together did.
It did not matter whether every last detail conformed to the signature colors. Instead of saying, “What a beautiful bouquet,” the guests said, “What a beautiful love.”This is my wish to you, dear brides, as you poor over wedding magazines and read daily blogs. Some of it matters. Most of it does not. Casting your net in the wrong direction will most surely mean you miss the things you most dearly want to catch.
May your wedding be just one sincere, authentic, happiest day in a long line of many.
This is my wish to you.
All my best,
SaraAmen! From the 2000 Dollar Budget Blog.

I just ate... Sweet buffet table ideas
But I came across these succulent alternatives to the wedding cake...and I want to eat them! I am not doing a traditional cake, so these got me thinking about all the sweet alternatives (pardon the pun). I love the idea of using the colour of food to compliment a theme, and I love even more how much personality can be shown from such a simple thing.
