1,000 Pearl Bouquet

Although flower bouquets are always going to be classically beautiful, I do love alternative bouquets like this 1,000 acrylic pearl bouquet from Bridal Bouquets by Ky for winter weddings. It's romantic and can be used for an indoor and outdoor wedding. The plus side of alternative bouquets is also that you don't have to worry about them flopping or overheating or getting ruined as much as you would a flower bouquet. Of course, they aren't for everyone, but they are an option that's still pretty!

My Glass Slipper Giveaway: Two Days Left!

The My Glass Slipper giveaway is ending in two days! If you haven't entered yet, please go to our entry page to enter to win a $50 USD gift card from My Glass Slipper. To the left you can see some of my favorite styles from the website, including flats, pumps, and a shoe that has a major bling factor going on! I love the range the website has in regard to shoe styles, heel height, and prices! It's definitely one of those online shops where you have too many great items to choose from instead of too little. And best of all, you can dye some of the wedding shoes available! And make them unique to your style! A winner will be chosen at random on September 7th and announced on September 8th. G'luck! :] (photo credit: MyGlassSlipper.com)
