Cheeky Dahlias
Ever since I received the super cute invite for my bridal shower, I've been on a mission to find the perfect blushing bride to be ensemble. My shower is a ladies cocktail hour so initially I had considered buying a new cocktail dress.
M so kindly suggested that I consider looking in my own closet before I run out to Newbury street for a new dress. (Oh men...they are so practically adorable). I stumbled upon a barely been worn shimmering sand colored strapless cocktail dress from Club Monaco that is fittingly bridal. Yet I was kind of disappointed to be wearing something I already own...after all...I will only have one bridal shower.
Then the lightbulb went off. A perfect excuse to purchase a fabulously ethereal creation from Emerson Made.
May I introduce you to the cheeky dahlia?

Gifting the Shower Hostesses
I received the adorable invitation to my bridal shower in the mail yesterday! Four of my mom's nearest and dearest friends are hosting it for me in Chicago. I'm so looking forward to celebrating with all of the women in my life who have been so important to myself and my mom throughout the years.
Yet I'm now on a mission for sweet and unique gifts for our hostesses with the mostesses...
I've started at Anthro (obsessed)
$20
$16
$10
$14
I'd love any other ideas or suggestions!

An Ode to A Ghost Chair
I fell in love with ghost chairs while watching "Wedded to Perfection" on TLC last summer. These funky sculpted beauties added a contemporary elegance to the insanely over the top events planned by Jung and her team at Fete. (P.S. I have a secret fantasy that Jung will randomly find this blog and decide she MUST take-over on our wedding planning)
Our floral and event designer created a fabulously elegant look for our wedding, including none other than the elusive white ghost chair. The look was breath taking. All white, square tables, contemporary white ghost chairs, showcasing brilliantly robust plumes of coral, raspberry, and butter yellow in clustered centerpieces.
Yet, those dreams were quickly dashed when our caterer sent through the dreaded upgrade price for the ghost chairs. Let me just say...they put the chivari upgrade price to shame. So we have a slightly drastic change to our overall design. I have removed myself from the disappointment at this time and felt it appropriate to leave you with some lasting droolworthy images of a ghost chair wedding or two.
