Happy Thanksgiving, my lovely Belles! I know that many of you want your wedding-day to be the perfect fairytale romance. For that reason, today I brought you the perfect princess-wedding outfits for you and your girls. They’re the new amazing designs from Fairy Tale Weddings by Alfred Angelo. Alfred Angelo and Disney now have beautiful dresses for bridesmaids and lovely pieces for flower girls…and a Rapunzel-inspired wedding gown that is a dream-come-true.

Rapunzel's gown has a one shoulder dropped waist, pleated bodice that represents the unique, artistic vision that she brings to everything she does. The delicate three-dimensional satin petals on the skirt are adorned with light-catching crystals and twinkling sequins to represent the lanterns she views every year on her birthday from her tower.

"Royal Maidens" bridesmaid collection includes dresses in satin, luxe taffeta and chiffon, in an array of stylish silhouettes for the Disney bride's "ladies in waiting".

{Steal Worthy Weddings} A Contemporary DIY Event

Good morning, lovelies! What are you up to on this crisp, fall Friday? I’m excited to end the week with this sophisticated, steal worthy wedding packed with dreamy DIY elements.

You know… sometimes it’s a perfect detail that really gets me. Other times it’s a fabulous dress, a gorgeous decor or a stunning cake. But today, it’s the ENTIRE event. Yes, it is a beyond-beautiful, stylish affair overflowing with steal-worthy deets…. a marriage between the old and the new, featuring classic elements with the modern touch of a present- day couple.

Get inspired by my breakdown on every worth-to-steal piece from these nuptials. And don’t forget to keep your eyes open for fabulous DIY ideas you may want to borrow for your own wedding!

The Ceremony Decor: I love the contrast between the vibrant pinks and aquas against the simple white background. It's elegant...it's modern... it's timeless!

Bridesmaids' Look: The bridesmaids wore Breakfast at Tiffany’s inspired black cocktail dresses, that they would be able to wear again, with vintage stud earrings, and fuchsia satin peep toe pumps with bow accents. To give the contemporary twist of the mismatched bridesmaids to this classic look, they each wore a different brooch... genius!

The Bouquet: You know I'm a sucker of peony bouquets, but this one takes the cake. The colors are gorgeous. The clouds of aqua tulle are a lovely way to bring in the something-blue. Notice how this bride kept a comprehensive look by wearing an aqua bracelet and pink lipstick that matched the bouquet colors.

The Modern Venue: With clean lines and minimalist design, this is the perfect setting for a couple with a unique style and vision. With the bride's art background, and the groom’s carpentry skills, this couple took advantage of this blank canvas and really made the space our own.

The Color Palette: The fuchsia, aqua, black and white color palette of this wedding is just perfectly coordinated right down to the spots on the contemporary glam.

DIY Details: From custom welcome sign, hand-painted aqua vases and frame collage, this couple had a very hands-on approach to planning their  special day. They also created vintage birdcages and ruffled clam shells, adorned with glossy white driftwood, tulle and fuchsia flowers.

The Home Made Cake: OMG! can you believe this bride actually make this gorgeous cake by herself. She's definitely an artist. But even if you're not as talented as she is, this is, hands down, a steal-worthy cake. Take the picture to your baker and you are good to go, my friend!

The Flower Girls Outfits: Let's take a moment to admire this dazzling flower girl dresses. Beautiful, right? If you're using any vibrant color on your wedding day, the flower girl dresses are the perfect place to bring them to play. Little girls look adorable in bright colors!

Good Morning my Belles! It is cold out there and winter is just around the corner. I can't wait for those fabulous winter wonderland weddings and inspiration shoots that I see each year around these months…. And baby!.. no flower says winter like baby’s breath. It reminds me so much of fluffy snow!

As the perfect choice for the winter Bride, these dainty teeny flowers aren’t only great to create the perfect wintery frost effect on wedding décor, but they are also mega-affordable. So, if you’re a stylish bride on a budget, you may want to keep baby’s breath in mind, as well.

Don’t forget to utilize baby’s breath in large quantities to make a big statement on your reception or ceremony décor, as well as incorporating it on other elements of your wedding day to maintain a consistent look.
