To die for.
Last week I planned Julie's wedding. I asked you to help me with her look and search the web for a beautiful table setting. You saved anything along these lines: tablecloths, silverware, plates, vases, flowers, candles, and cool centerpieces in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Wedding Table. You certainly did not let Julie or I down and suggested awesome ideas and fabulous finds. Read more

My sister is getting married in August, so I've been spending a lot of time visiting wedding blogs and poking around BHLDN's website. One item that recently caught my eye was this lovely Barn Swallow Pedestal.

I found that the most stressful aspects of planning a wedding were details concerning the guests. Questions like "what do our guests want to eat/drink/listen to" are enough to make your head spin. Yes, the wedding is about you as a couple, but you can't deny that your guests' likes and dislikes weigh heavily on your mind. Take, for example, the seating arrangements. Figuring out who will sit next Read more

The new issue of Rue Magazine hit the digital shelves this week, and my browser is already bursting with bookmarked design inspiration. In one feature, Rue introduces us to Bay Area designer Kriste Michelini — whose home CasaSugar toured in October — with a visit to her studio (I'm guessing). As usual, the styling is perfection.
