Recently, I was watching a tribute to the great Hollywood legend, Elizabeth Taylor. For decades, she was the person that women of the world emulated. They wanted to be her, dress like her, and even smell like her.
Everytime I see Elizabeth Taylor, I am always overcome by the breathtaking beauty and enormous talent that embodied this woman, so of course I couldn’t help but become inspired. Enjoy!

Peacock feathers are a great way to bring vibrant color and bold texture to your design. They’re versatile, too – they can be used in several looks, whether you’re going for vintage elegance, modern eclectic, or want to add a touch of whimsy to your wedding. The key to peacock feathers is to use them minimally as an occasional bold accent or inspiration.
This peacock-feather hairpiece looks vintage and romantic, and would be a great accent of color next to a white bridal gown:
For a touch of flair, try these shoe clips from Sofisticato on Etsy:
In a bouquet, peacock feathers add softness and texture, and are a great contrasting color:

Seriously, how much fun is this tablescape by Dylan Lauren?!?! I love everything about it – the colors are so vibrant, festive, and inviting! It’s also a known fact that candy makes you feel like a kid again, and thanks to Dylan, daughter of Ralph Lauren and owner of Dylan’s Candy Bar in New York, this tablescape envelopes us in great childhood memories .
Any bride that wants to have fun and playful elements like this in her wedding will definitely have the key to my heart. One word of warning: you may want to keep the little ones away and keep your dentist on speed dial!
There are a billion perks to our job.
We get to live in a world where tiny, little moments are all that really matter. Saying “I do”, first dances, joyful tears.
We get to plan for a single day that’s completely and entirely committed to the idea of love.
We get to eat cupcakes, play with linens and quite literally “smell the daisies”.
We get to be a part of the creative transformation from any given venue into something that’s completely about YOU. We get to walk into art museums and make them more about your wedding vows than the Picasso’s that hang from the walls. We get to make the history of century-old castles more about the best man’s speech than the kings and queens that once strolled the halls. So, you can imagine how I drooled when I read this article in the New York Times.
I would do cartwheels if a bride came to me requesting that her wedding be in a parking garage! This would be a chance to transform something that’s typically equated to over-priced parking and janky corners to … “cinematic and absolutely dramatic”! I mean, SOLD!
So, brides out there – I’ll leave you with some inspiration in hopes that your creative juices just may lean towards oil stains and concrete as well!
Here’s to making your wedding venue YOU!
Could there be a more beautiful chair for a bride to rest during her big day?
