    This hand painted teacup tutorial on Etsy is such a cute idea! It would be a great way to personalize a gift for your tea (or coffee) loving bridesmaids, and it could even make a really fun shower activity. The paint has to dry for 24 hours, but if each guest painted a cup and saucer for the bride and groom, they would be all set!...

     I absolutely LOVE when bridal showers or bachelorette parties have a project, craft or activity.  This love does not extend to games, because, lets face it-bridal shower games are pretty horrific for the most part.   A dear friend of mine has started a business called Wine and Designs.  I went to her house for lunch last week, and she had painted a glass for me with my married initials on it, and I LOVED it!  I think it’s such a cute thing to do with your bridesmaids or just some close friends.  Here are some ideas I came up with in a google image search: I found it’s important to k...

    I once went on an organized tour of Italy and in our group was this woman who wore high heels...everywhere. Can you imagine trekking through cobblestone streets for two hours in heels?! This woman had it down to an art. I also lived in New York City briefly and could never do the long walks in heels. I know that for some woman the heel is a cult - where it or die! So if you're like me, but you're a bride, don't hesitate to remove your shoes and wear something more comfy during the reception.Personally, I think these hand painted shoes are adorable and what better souvenir from your wedding day...

    I'm obsessed with Rifle Design and her beautiful hand painted illustrations!  The first time I saw her work on various wedding blogs I went right to her site and discovered she is in Winter Park, FL - right around the corner from me.  Since then I've been stalking her site anticipating the arrival of her new storefront in lovely little Winter Park.  I can't wait to go over and check it out and to meet Anna Bond the creator of these fabulous designs.  Her designs are customized for each couple and their wedding which makes it so unique and personal.  She ...
