Inspiration Board Teaser
{source}
I adore this sash! It reminds me an old Dior cocktail dress from the 50’s that I’ve seen in books, but can’t find anywhere online. It’s also part of the inspiration board I have for you on Monday in hour of my best friend K.
Hope everyone has a happy and safe Halloween.
With a wink and a smile,

A Wink (Simple Tip)
For a wedding shower raffle have all attendees write their name and address on the front of an envelope and put them in a bowl. Draw an envelope for a prize! The hidden reason behind using addressed envelopes? Pre-addressed envelopes for thank you notes.

Trend I Love: Wedding TOMS

His hello was the end of...

Inspiration Board Teaser
Normally, I would be showing you a picture from the board I’m planning on posting on Monday. This time, however, I’m going to leave you to take a look at the awesome blog header/logo my friend designed. This is kind of a temporary version; I’d like to tweak things a bit in the next few weeks. But since I’m at the very beginning of the blog, I thought it would be cool to...

A Bit About Me
First I should probably tell you a little bit about me.
I’m Ellie. I’m a senior in college and a hospitality administration major. I want to work in wedding planning and have TONS of inspiration stockpiled on my hard drive. And I decided it’s time to share it with the world.
