Real. Weddings. Now.

Although Blumebox has been around for a little while, I still think they deserve some major credit for creating an eco-chic wedding decor option.
These little boxes come in a fantastic range of popular wedding colors, including gold and silver. Simply inflate the leak-proof inner bag, fill it with water and presto: a cute recyclable vase to showcase floral centerpieces. Another great way to use them is to display lollipops, candy canes, or swizzle sticks for candy bars.
The fact that they’re 100% recyclable and prices end at a mere $5.99 per box is icing on the cake for the environmentally- (and budget-) conscious bride. Plus, the nifty place card holders, ribbons and boas sold on the site add a cute touch.
Hair extensions have recently been touted as a must-have for brides who don’t have locks rivaling that of Rapunzel. However, modern brides are kicking this expense to the curb and rocking their everyday shorter ‘do on the big day. To keep it polished, consider using a sculpting pomade or thin curlers. As for accessories, a thin headband, a birdcage veil, or a pretty brooch is just enough. After all, bridal beauty isn’t about a big transformation; it’s about being the best possible version of yourself.

Remember my post on Zazzle.com, especially the part about how it’s a great resource for creating DIY invitations for a low price?
Well, I have decided to open up my own Zazzle invitation shop! So far, my collection is limited, but I plan of expanding it in the coming months. Until then, please visit my shop and let me know what you think so far.

When it comes to wedding day fashion, it may be all about the dress…but, your man has to look good too. For help in that department, I recommend Choice Cufflinks.
Their moniker is a bit misleading. While they do specialize in cufflinks of all shapes, sizes and styles (from classic to contemporary to novelty), they also have a wide selection of ties, handkerchiefs, and other accessories that the man of the hour can use to deck himself out on the big day. This is also a great resource for the groomsmen too in terms of attire and gifts, as they also see money clips, watches, and other tokens of appreciation that they would appreciate.
Ah vodka. Without it, the world of martinis and cosmopolitans would cease to exist. However, this Russian favorite is also the basis of the following cocktails, any of which will be a great option for a signature cocktail.
The Cape Codder
The Española Sour
The Neopolitan
The Moscow Mule
The Cosmo Rickey
