A woman after my own heart, independent fashion designer Elizabeth Dye has created a Spring 2010 Bridal Collection in which each dress is inspired by a different literary heroine. Romantic, elegant and full of vintage charm, these dresses offer the perfect way to write your own happy ending on your big day.

Why We Love Bridal Couture

When it comes to everyday fashion, I’m a huge fan of understated elegance. But when it comes to your wedding day, a little bit of pizzazz is called for. That’s why I love bridal couture—with it’s bold shapes, fanciful charm and divine details, it’s hard not to feel inspired by such gorgeous gowns!

I love how these Colleen Quen gowns use a blend of classic silhouettes with details that grab your attention without upstaging the bride.

80s Themed Bridal Shower

Planning the perfect bridal shower can often be a challenge for a hostess who may be overcome by the thought that the event will inevitably be boring. Well, two of our colleagues have proved that that’s not always the case. We recently spotted this fun 80s themed bridal shower on their blog Jolie Jolie and just had to share it with our readers.

As you will see the event represents the eighties in every way from the color scheme to the food and favors to even the guests’ outfits! It looks like every guest had a lot of fun at this event, which included an impromtu eighties exercise class followed by a night on the town in their costumes.

Now, that’s one way to throw a fun bridal shower!

What do you think of the playful rock ‘n’ roll theme?

What is Wedding Stationary?

Do we sense a controversy simmering? Seems there is quite a bit of uncertainty regarding how to spell one of the most basic terms on our site: stationery…or is it stationary? We’ve done some research and come to our own conclusions, but would love to hear you weigh in as well.

We have to thank Mike over at DesktopSupplies.com for bringing the issue to our attention. To summarize, the evidence suggests that when people are searching for printed paper products online such as birthday party invitations, birth announcements, holiday cards and personalized stationery, they are frequently using “stationary” as part of their search term. As Mike duly references in his post, stationary is defined as: “standing still; not moving.” He goes so far as to say that people have written in to correct the spelling of “stationery” on their site to “stationary.”

This obviously creates an issue for us, because we’re in the camp that believes we sell stationery. However, many use what we’d politely call the “alternate” spelling to find our cards. Naturally, we’ve ruled out building new site utilizing the word “stationary,” confusing people with more than one spelling or sending out a mass e-mail to all English speaking people correcting them of their ways. But…we’re open to suggestions.
