StudioWedBox : Useful Wedding Surprises Every Month


Happy Wedding Wednesday, my dears! Today I’m bringing you something new and useful along with some oh-so-pretty inspiration to feast your eyes on. But before we fully jump into the beauty, let’s talk reality. Keeping up with the latest wedding trends and new hot products for your ido’s is hard.  Reason why I’m so excited to share with you my latest obsession, StudioWedBox. I’m pretty sure this little piece of wedding heaven is going to revolutionize the wedding world. I’m talking about a monthly subscription for brides that arrives at your door and will not only guide you through the wedding planning process month by month, but will also spark innovation for your big day!
The kind people at StudioWedBox sent me my own box last month and it got me so inspired that I'd decided to team up with a some awesome vendors to create an inspirations shoot that will show you how all the pretty and useful products inside StudioWedBox will help you take your wedding to the next level. You’re gonna love it!




The color palette on this photo shoot was inspired by the emerald green hue of the pretty ribbon on StudioWedBox package paired with the hues of lavender buds on the “Toss Me” bag, one of the items that came along with the box. Inside the box I also found a colorful confetti push up pop that just screams “celebrate!”, so I knew I had it to do something festive, yet sophisticated. And this is what we came up with...



I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again... I’m the luckiest girl in the world because not only do I love my job, but I also count among my friends immensely talented people who help me put together gorgeous photo shoots like this one. For this shoot we drove to the edges of the city to be able to captured the gorgeous sunsets along with some of the coolest desert sceneries of west Texas. My friend Lynn from Fiori the Flower Studio crafted us one of the pretties bouquets I’ve ever seen. Matthew Abraham and Osmar Marques from Quartermane Salon did an amazing job on the hair and makeup for our model, Angelica. While my friend Sophia from Ella Blu lent me a gorgeous wedding dress and, along with Matthew our makeup artist, helped me coordinate all the logistics of the day. And last, but certainly not least, the gifted Jessica Santiesteban from Ideology Photography assisted me on scouting the most perfect location for our pictures and obviously did a terrific job capturing the beauty from every element.




Now that you got the scoop on the beautiful pictures, allow me to explain a bit more about StudioWedBox, because you are seriously gonna love it! This subscription box was founded by a team of wedding planners who month after month handpick the best-curated items in the wedding industry to help brides like you with innovative product ideas for the big day.
Along with the “Toss Me” bag with lavender buds and the confetti push pop, inside my box I found some wood dices that are great to keep the kids busy at the reception and a stylish pocket mirror with the phrase “It’s time to drink champagne & dance on the tables” that would make a great addition to your bridal purse. I also found two cards. One of them breaks down all the facts and uses of each of the products, and the other one is from one of the event planners and co-founders of StudioWed giving tips on how to manage toasts timing at your wedding reception. So thoughtful!



I hope you have enjoyed these little bits of pretty and please consider a subscription to StudioWedBox. I think it would make a wonderful engagement present for a bride! Or a great gift to buy yourself if you are recently engaged!

25 Ways to Something Blue

Looking for your “Something Blue”? Here are 25 ways to find meaningful objects to fulfill this tradition.
The color blue has been connected to Weddings since ancient times. The blue item symbolizes purity and fidelity. Modern brides can get very creative when it comes to “something blue”. There are plenty of contemporary and trendy, as well as traditional items to choose from.
Enjoy the lovelies below and I'd love to know which is your favorite!
Some bouquets are made to complement a wedding theme while others are specifically meant to be a focal point of your attire. So, choose wisely when incorporating your “something blue” into your bridal bouquet.Blue flowers are so different, yet beautiful. Take some advantage of this fact and make a big statement caring a beautiful blue flower bouquet. / I love this cute blue heart tided to the bouquet. It doesn’t alter the bouquet color palette at all. / The holder may just be a great way to accomplish a perfect something blue. (image by Kristin Vining) / Add sparkle with blue flower jewelry. (image via source) / For the vintage bride nothing better than a blue broach bouquet.
For fashion forward brides headpieces are the way to go blue. Who can forget the famous bird headpiece Carrie Bradshaw wore on her wedding day? (Resources: photo#1, photo#2)
Ah, the bridal clutch. Perfect for holding your make-up, gum, emergency kit and cash. And perfect to give something blue to your wedding attire! Go blue outside of the clutch like the first image or inside of it like image number two.
Ready to go totally out of the box? Choose a blue wedding dress. Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for Wedding gowns. And it looks like blue wedding gowns are back. (Images’ sources: dress #1, dress#2). Other options include wearing a blue bolero or a dress with a blue sash.

Shoes are the preferred fashion tactic to go blue of the contemporary bride-to-be. From blue shoes, blue bottoms, blue heels and blue insides to blue shoe accessories like broaches and “I do” shimmery stickers; nowadays there’re so many ways for brides to have “something blue” on their feet… My favorite one… the blue sparkly Louboutins


Any of this pretty shades of blue will look great on your wedding day. I personally like how they look all together. Besides, blue nail polish is one of the hottest fashion trends and  its may favorite "something blue".
Blue jewelry is so pretty! I love the little blue diamond hided on the ring. (Image resource: bracelet, ring, earrings and necklace)
Hide your "something blue" under the dress. (Image 1, Image 2)
Or hided it inside with and custom embroider dress label with the wedding date or just your initials.
A blue detail in the garter it has been the "something blue option" for decades. I love the flower adorned garter, it gives the garter a modern approach. While the classic brides can go wrong with a blue ribbon.
