Details, details, details!













It's easy to get caught up in planning the bigger parts of your wedding- the venue, the dress, the cake etc.- but it seems to me that the small details are the ones that really make a wedding stand out. Adding little touches here and there can really show how much thought and care (and styling!) go into planning your day. These bits and pieces above are a great (and inexpensive)way to add a little something special to your wedding! Just be sure not to go overboard with the details- one or two are great, but it reminds me of the advice my grandmother always gave me terms of jewelry- before you leave the house, take one thing off. You don't want to look over-styled! And you don't want to drive yourself insane searching for the perfect hand towels for the bathroom....

Weekly Dose of Wedding Porn: Groundhog Day Edition
















Happy Groundhog Day! FYI, Phil officially has declared an early spring this year- pretty hard to believe considering I skated to the bus stop this morning over a half inch layer of ice that is covering EVERYTHING! It proved to be a source of inspiration though for this week's dose of wedding porn! I am pleased to bring you: Okamoto Studio in Long Island City, an artist collective that redefines the medium of ice sculpture. These are not your run-of-the-mill ice sculptures (swans anyone?). I first saw Okamoto Studio at The Wedding Party hosted by The Wedding Library and Martha Stewart Weddings where they showcased their talent with a bar made entirely of ice. Check out their website (http://www.okamotostudionyc.com/) for even more gasp-inducing examples of their work. Some of my personal favorites are above (especially the last one!). Every piece is customized according to your ideas and inspiration (and budget). Trust me, if I went to a wedding with one of these on display, I'd be telling people about it for weeks after.
