I love when the Project Runway designers put their designs on etsy! Here are some of the latest dresses from season 8 winner Leanne and the Leanimal Etsy shop.

Not your average wedding dresses but I love them! She has some cute dresses for a night out too!

I saw this bride a few weeks ago and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the boldness of her jewelry! You don’t see many brides with big jewelry on their wedding day, but it’s becoming more and more popular. This couple looks awesome! Photos by the talented Aaron Shintaku.

See the entire wedding here!

If you are on the hunt for a super unique statement necklace for your wedding day, you may want to try etsy. I found these vintage inspired beauties by A Luscious Thing:

for the right bride, these could be a great accessory!

did you guys see these?! they were featured on the front page of etsy. I love them! Very very cute… and what a nice little gift they could be for your bridal party (if your having somewhat of a rustic, or wooland-y type of affair). It’s the small things in life, right?

You have to check out etsy seller Woodland Belle. she’s got some other designs too, if you want something more traditional like flowers or birds.

One of my favorite non-wedding blogs, Black .White. Yellow, featured the work of photo stylist Lo Bjurulf, the other day and I was blown away. I ventured over to the website and found some great wedding inspiration-SCORE!!! Take a look at these settings…these combinations could be beautiful in a wedding.

I love the use of lemons in this one!

And this one has so much warmth and comfort….perfect for a fall wedding.

Hope you can take some inspiration from these- Have a great weekend!

Veils aren’t for everyone, and who says they should be? Here are some gorgeous alternatives for your wedding day.

And in case you don’t already know where to find trendy accessories for your special day, here are some beauties from ban.do, one of the best in the biz!

Red looks so good against a khaki or tan background! This wedding has a desert, fiesta-type of feel. Sweet, laid back…but touches of gold elegance.  My kind of affair!

Good Morning! I hope you all are having a less hectic week than I am! My google reader is in the 1000′s (items to read). These beauties popped up at the top, and I love them! From a great blog called Sunday Suppers. Not a wedding blog, but super inspiring. (Photos by Karen Mordechai, flowers by Rountree)

Love those brown bottles. This is perfect for a DIY wedding!

I’ve been missing in action for a few days, thanks to b-school. But I also have business school to thank for this interesting find. We did a case study on the ICEHOTEL (think James Bond movie) in my entrepreneurship class yesterday, and as I was browsing the site, I saw that they do weddings. So neat! Here is the Ice Church for 2010:

Each year, artists come to Sweden’s Lapland to design the church and hotel, and at the end of the season, the masterpieces melt away. Kind of sad, but not so much when you realize that a new one will be built the next season. So,  a wedding here truly is a once in a lifetime experience- to the MAX! Here are some pics from previous years:

And in case you’re wondering- yes, everything is made of ice and snow. The ICEHOTEL is great for adventurous honeymooners too. Staying at the hotel is a little pricey from what I’m told (around $500 a night). But hey, if you got it, this is a really cool option! Pics of the hotel:

definitely on my list of things to do.
