Armor jewelry


Check out these amazing pieces at the Esty store, Armor. You can wear it as a bolero over a wedding dress, or sexy body jewelry. I love em because they are edgy but still pretty.

Couples that look alike

You know how people can look like their dogs?

I was reading this article that this same phenomenon is true for couples that have been together for a long time! It explains that people tend to be more attracted to people with similar features(also known as imprinting).

John Huck, an LA artist, did a photographic installation on couples that look alike here:




Also, couples who have been together a long time can look more and more alike over time. This is because they tend to have many of the same experiences, and many of the same facial lines (like laugh lines). Crazy huh?

Fly wedding nails


On your wedding day, there can be so much pressure from your family and the Wedding Industry in general to become someone you're not. This is supposed to be your day and you should be able to flaunt your style. If you like crazy-cool nails, then sport em. If you have tats, don't cover them up. Be proud of your style!

Here's some french-manicure alternatives:

Best Man Speech


This guy's speech had me laughing and crying at the same time.

Sheer wedding dress anyone?


I'd do it. Not sluttily, obviously, just dreamy and pretty for an ethereal outdoorsy wedding like this one:
