Handmade Rustic Wedding: Lauren & Phil

By Chandra Fredrick | Aug 20

There is something about a Southern wedding that I can’t resist. And this sweet handmade Virginia wedding takes the cake. Or should I say pie? And captured so beautifully by Karen Seifert, it’s sure to have you longing for a Southern wedding of your own. From Lauren, the bride:

The inspiration for our wedding day was the South – I grew up in New Jersey and have fallen in love with the beauty and charm of the South since moving to Virginia 2 years ago to be with Phil. We wanted an outdoor wedding on a farm that was unlike anything my family from New Jersey had ever seen. Read More »

Sequin Confetti Poppers DIY

By Chandra Fredrick | Aug 19

I’m excited to share today’s DIY because it combines three of my favorite things: sequins, confetti, and washi tape! These confetti poppers are really cute for a recessional (place one on each guest’s seat) or as a favor for a party or small event. And if you are using them outside you can use a more eco-friendly confetti, but I used sequins and sparkle for fun. Read More »

Pretty Lingerie for your Honeymoon

By Chandra Fredrick | Aug 15

I think sometimes lingerie can be intimidating for many of us ladies, but it is usually because the idea of lingerie is something that is not our style or personality. It’s overtly sexy, cheesy, very in your face va va voom, and maybe not you. There is some really beautiful lingerie out there, pieces you’ll actually want to wear and will feel sexy and beautiful in. I’ve rounded up some of my favorites. This is one of those posts to share with your bridesmaids (along with your lingerie sizes) before your personal shower or bachelorette party. Or shop for yourself from the ‘shop the post’ gallery at the bottom of the post (where you’ll also find the sources for each item).

Sometimes nothing is sexier than white, and I think a pretty white lacy chemise for your wedding night is a must. These are some of my favorites out there. Grecian, lace, polka dot prints: which is your style? Or you more into color like the picks below? Read More »
