Style Sneak-Vintage Country

My best friend in the whole world just got engaged to the man she has been with for NINE years! I was so thrilled when she asked me to be her matron (do I have to be a matron, can't I still be a maid? It sounds so much nicer!) of honor. We have already begun planning her wedding and I wanted to create a little inspiration board to guide us through the planning process. Her look is vintage/country chic. The best part? I get to wear cowboy boots! Happy engagement Marni and Brandon!

Style Sneak-Schoolhouse Rock

Just in time for Back-to-School, I thought I'd put together a little board with all the charm and kitsch of a school-themed wedding. If I could have a second wedding, it would definitely be in the old Schoolhouse in my hometown. Happy inspiration!

Style Sneak-Yellow, Black, Bronze

Look out world! I'm particularly excited to announce that I will be composing a bi-monthly post that attempts to turn an outfit/room/garden into a wedding. Think of it as a "look book" of sorts; an inspiration board to gather ideas. I'm having great fun with it and I hope you will, too!

Inspiration: yellow dress, black shoes and clutch, bronze necklace.
