Sea Glass and Eyelet Lace

Inspired by the ocean and dreams of spring. If you've ever searched a beach for sea glass, you know how this shade of blue is so coveted. When I lived on the beach, I painted my bedroom this shade of blue and had all white eyelet linens. It was the most peaceful room I've ever been in. It's also a beautiful palette for any sort of party, particularly a wedding!

Palette Board: Candy Cane Wedding

Christmas is fast approaching so I whipped up a pretty red and white candy cane palette board to get us in the spirit. If you have every been to Woodstock, Vermont during the Christmas season, you'll appreciate the country, New England feel to this board as well.

Palette Board: Pastel Christmas Wedding

I can list a thousand reasons why Christmas weddings are the bee's knees. If it weren't for the fact that my family has threatened to disown me, I'd unquestionably have the big day this time of year.

If you are getting married in December and don't want your decor to be typical red and green, think about pastel Christmas; lots of pinks, pale blue and seafoam green, and the best part is it gives you a good excuse to use glitter! Vintage glass ornaments provide the perfect palette for a cheerful winter fete.

Stila Loves Claire Pettibone

I have been a huge fan of Stila cosmetics for almost 10 years now, and the only thing prettier than the faces it makes up is the gorgeous, vintage celluloid looking packaging. The folks from Stila have collaborated with wedding gown designer Claire Pettibone for a gorgeous new bridal Palette called, fittingly, 'Stila Loves Claire Pettibone'. We're going to have to wait until Spring 2010 for the product to hit the stores, but I suggest swooping in for the buy just as soon as it does.
