Once again, Martha doesn’t fail to leave us googly-eyed with her beautiful treats. I love how fresh and light everything looks! Coconut cupcakes are my personal favorite, and I’ve always thought they would make a great accent to a winter wedding, but these lovely little desserts are definitely contenders in my book. What do you think?

]]> Chilly fall rainstorms have definitely made their way to the Wedding Paper Divas offices! All of this dark and stormy weather evokes a feeling of dreamy romance, but rainstorms don’t exactly provide the best conditions for a wedding.

If your enchanting fall or winter wedding gets rained out, don’t despair! Take advantage of rain to take some amazing pictures like these ones from great photographers and style sites across the web. And don’t forget—rain on your wedding day is good luck!

]]> I have an unhealthy obsession right now with anything that is grey, particularly slate grey.  I love it with any variety of colors, but for the upcoming winter season, I especially love it with a light blue aquamarine.
