Eye Candy Friday : v43 {purple florals and event decor}
Since I'm sure most of you know by now that I am one of those gals that loves the color purple in weddings . . . so when I saw these images on JL Designs' blog, I knew I had to share. Carissa's floral work is always breathtaking. To see many more photos from this event that Carissa created the florals and decor elements for, please click here.

from cookies, candy & candle infused reception... to the Videos
On Wednesday you probably remember seeing the spectacular Real Wedding of Michelle and Chris (coordinated by Madeline's Weddings and Events and photographed by Curtis Moore Photography). Well, today, I have another treat for you . . . the wedding videos from Sean of A Moving Picture Studios. I am totally in love with the highlights video - not only because the song always makes me want to just get up and dance, but because it goes so well with the scenes Sean choose to showcase. Enjoy the videos and I'll be back in a little while with today's Eye Candy Friday for you :)
{PS: to see the videos best without any pausing as it loads, you might want to have HD off}

Details on New Bridal Gown Line : David Tutera by Faviana
Guest Blogging with Susan of True Blind Faith
I'm happy to welcome Susan of True Blind Faith {creator of one of a kind bridal headpieces} to the blog today. Susan will be guest blogging and sharing her recap on viewing the new bridal gown line by David Tutera at the Wedding Salon in NYC this past Monday (along with some of her own personal photos she took at the event) . . .
With the tag-line "Inspired by the red carpet, worn on the white carpet" you just know that it is going to be something special. Now combine celebrity wedding planner and creative genius David Tutera and his attention to detail with special occasion dress house Faviana and their quality workmanship and high style and you are ensured amazing results! I was fortunate enough to attend The Wedding Salon in NYC this week and the highlight of the evening was the fashion show featuring their new line of gowns; David Tutera by Faviana. Brides, this is definitely something to get excited about!
Always a fan of Faviana, David presented them with the idea of collaborating on a collection of bridal gowns that would provide brides couture styling with affordable pricing. David provides not only his name to the new line but also sketches and ideas for the details. Brides will find a variety of silhouettes from traditional to modern and stunning details including crystals, intricate beading and champagne colored fabrics. Perhaps my favorite innovative style was the mermaid gowns with detachable skirts - how fabulous is that! The collection will soon be available in select salons across the country.
--------------
Thank you Susan for taking photos and sharing the details on the latest venture for David Tutera. And, be sure to visit True Blind Faith where you will find various styles of tiaras, vines, combs and headbands.

Inspiration Board for spring or summer with Blue and Green
Thru my google alerts I found out that the photos from my very first eye candy friday post were used over at the Style Circle in an inspiration board created by Crystal. The two photos are the top left ones and you can see my post that features them here. I just love the colors used in this board and wanted to share it with you not only because it uses photos I've featured here before, but because everything goes so well together. Crystal titled her board "Tranquil Shades of Blue and Green" and it does have the most calming effect.
