Style Me Pretty Wedding Blog


Trade: Event Industry
Blogger Abby Jean has an incredible eye for class and style. Her Ultimate Wedding Blog site looks like a million bucks, and more so, her advice and insight into the world of weddings is priceless.
Any bride on a mission can find tips on subjects ranging from decor and details, favors and flowers and the all important first impression to guests, stationary (which happens to be one of her previous entrepreneurial ventures).
My favorite part of the blog is her "Little Black Book," which includes a list of The Best Wedding Vendors. It's easy, enter your category and location and BAM! Abby Jean suggests some of the best in your area. I hope to be on the list one day with my floral design company, BranchingOut.
The "Little Black Book Blog" reports on real weddings and provides more photos for the voyeur in all of us. The section on "Themed Engagement Photos" is full of innovative shots (by obviously talented photographers), the photos I wish my hubby and I had taken 10 years ago!
Style Me Pretty: What a great source of inspiration for your own wedding or event. I think Abby Jean has the best job ever: a blogging wedding crasher!

Candle Sleeves by KaarsKoker


Trade: Home Decor
So, I'm back after a year of transition. Last June, we moved into a new house, and I am addicted to
House Beautiful magazine. In the February issue, you'll find these incredible candle sleeves by KaarsKoker . They come in a variety of colors and patterns, and for between $12-$23 per pair, you can completely change your chandelier or wall sconces. They even have styles to match each holiday! By far one of the more original ideas I've seen in a long time.
