Molly Sims Glows in Marchesa!

 

Once in a while, we come across weddings that are truly the makings of a little girl’s dream… And this week, when we saw supermodel Molly Sims’ gorgeous, rustic, elegant wedding we realized it was exactly what a fairy tale wedding should be!  We had seen a couple of photos of the gorgeous bride over a year ago in People magazine, but when her photographer, Gia Canali, published a full gallery of this wedding, we were able to really admire Molly’s exquisite taste.

The bride wore a stunning Marchesa gown for this outdoor, chic wedding.  Her hair was up with a sparkly, pretty hairpiece securing the flowy veil. The bridesmaids are gorgeous in tan, brown and black mismatched dresses.  And the setting is just amazingly delightful! We adore the details of the personalized signs and the long reception table is awesome!  What do you think, gorgeous and romantic or not so much your style?  Tell us about it, we always love to hear!

XOXO

July Update:  We're having an amazing Marchesa Spring 2014 Collection Trunk Show this weekend, July 26 and July 27, for trunk show details please click here! And for appointments please go here!

Inspiration Monday: Going Far!

If you want to go FAST, go alone.

If you want to FAR, go together.  -  African Proverb

We came across this African proverb this weekend and it literally, stopped us on our tracks and made us take a moment!  It’s such a deep and powerful philosophy. If you think about it, it applies to so many aspects of life: from career & work, to friendships and obviously, marriage!  Definitely, when in a partnership, especially in a marriage partnership, this philosophy really rings true. Sticking together, bringing out the best in each other and ultimately, as a unit, taking all of life’s ups and down together are key in making it last… Really last.    Is there something to be said about doing it together, as a team?  Do you think this proverb makes sense this day in age? Let us know what you think… We always love to hear!

In the meantime, here are some web and blog goodies that we loved and wanted to share with you…

We heart Downton Abbey!

Yay for Downton Abbey!  After many, many, many months of Downton Abbey withdrawals… finally, it is back; and just on what we saw last night, it seems like it is going to be better than ever!  The wedding between Mary and Matthew, simply: PERFECT!   And this quote… beyond PERFECT!

Matthew Crawley:  You came. To be honest, I wasn't completely sure you would.

Lady Mary: I'm glad to hear it. I should hate to be predictable.

Are you watching?  Anything special you want to see this season?

XOXO
