The Tulle Lace Laura Dress is my favorite, however, both are very cute. I’m just a sucker for lace and did I mention that both of these dresses have pockets? It does, which makes them even more awesome. Out of the two, which is your favorite?

I just love the lace on the shoulders and the draping of the dress. If you will be wearing this dress for your wedding, send me some pictures. I would love to see it in action!

Fred Flare: Love Notes Re-Usable Write-On Bottle Stopper

bridalrehab — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:10:00 +0000

Looking for a way to creatively display your table numbers at your reception? Look no further, I present to you Love Notes Re-Usable Write-On Bottle Stoppers:

Source: Fred Flare: Love Notes Re-Usable Write-On Bottle Stopper: $10.00

In the midst of my Fred Flare perusing (I was on the hunt for a gift for the hubs for Valentine’s day), I found these and thought that it would be a great way to display a number of things. For example, what type of wine a certain bottle is or a table number at your reception (if you are leaving bottles of wine on each table). These will definitely get the wine flowing faster between your guests because the bottle would already be open. These could also do a double duty by being reused again for your future fabulous parties that you and your new hubs would plan. What do you think?

Tuesday Shoesday: ASOS: Peter Jensen: Rosette Heeled Sandal

bridalrehab — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 14:00:46 +0000

For this Tuesday Shoesday, I ventured out of the clothing section of ASOS and found myself rooting around the shoe section. That is when I found these lovelies:

It kinda reminds me of pre-made bows that you put on gifts. I can totally see a bride rocking this under a short wedding dress or even switching into it to dance in at her reception. Either way, I think it’s lovely and has fun written all over it!

Giveaway: Bound Journals

bridalrehab — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:00:43 +0000

Happy belated new year! I know I’m several weeks late but it’s better than never, no? I would also like to extend some apologies for my radio silence for the last couple of weeks. Entering the new year was an adventure and being that it was our first time in two years that we have spent Christmas/New Years with our families/friends, we dedicate a lot of time renewing those bonds. It was a whirlwind but very awesome to physically see people and not through a web cam.

Another thing that caused the extension of the radio silence was that the hubs and I had gotten a puppy! We went to the Pleasanton Farmer’s Market on the mission to get vegetables but instead we came home with this cutie:

Penny (named after the character in the Big Bang Theory) has been a handful but a good handful. She’s smart as a whip and continues to surprise us everyday. We’re so happy to have her be apart of our family! Just a warning to all of my tweeps, you will probably see an excessive amount of pictures of her on my feed from now on.

However, let’s get back to business. As the headline suggests, I’m doing another giveaway! Yay! So, let me tell you about the amazing giveaway I have for you and in time for Valentine’s day! *Hint Hint nudge nudge*

Have you ever wanted to make a journal that can be tailored to your preferences? Sure, there are tons of amazing journals that you can get that have either blank pages, the typical lined pages, or a built-in calendar. However, I’m talking about you choosing what you get in a journal. I know it’s an unbelievable concept, but how about if I told you that you can customize a journal tailored to your needs or for a friend or loved one? Well, look no further, there is such a place that can make that magic happen.

Located in Durham, North Carolina, Bound came about when Joel Sadler and his wife went on a road trip through the West Coast in 2009 and he couldn’t find a journal that met his travel needs. From that trip, Bound was born and along with travel sized journals that can be customized by you to your liking. For example, just say you would like your journal to have an area for you to story board that film you’ve been dreaming in your mind, another section of music stanzas to write that ballad you’ve had in your head but never had place to put it down, also have a place for where you can play games when you’re out all in one place? Done. Bound can make those dreams come true.

Got a friend that’s getting married or you are and is looking for the best all in one planner that isn’t huge and could be easily toted around in your purse/satchel with ease? Bound can help you design one that would make your wedding planning easier (Click here for Bound ’s suggestions). If you’re looking for an awesome Valentine’s Day gift for your sweets, this would be the greatest thoughtful gift that would definitely up the ante for future holiadys. Have super creative groomsmen/bridesmaids and need a gift to appeal to that? Personalize a journal to their needs and wants. Here’s some pictures to help you visualize this awesome:

Source: Bound: Original Bound Journal: $35.00

Source: Bound: Vegan Leather Bound Journal: $50.00

I can vouch for Bound‘s journals because this Christmas, I made a whole bunch of Bound Memos for my friends, tailoring it to their interests. For example, my friend Mike plays in amazing Band and writes his own lyrics and music, so I made him one with the music stanza and lined sections. I even made the hubs an Original Bound Journal with the storyboard sections so he can jot down all of his beer tastings (the hubs is quite the beer enthusiast and is into documenting what he drinks). Having first hand experience with Bound, I highly recommend them to you all, which is why I contacted them immediately after I received the journals and set up this amazing giveaway for you.

Joel and the Bound gang was nice enough to give one of you awesome readers a $55 dollar gift voucher to customize a journal of your liking!

Here’s the deets on this giveaway with Bound:
- You will receive a $55 Bound gift voucher to create a customized journal. The gift voucher can be used however you may want to. If you would like to mix bunch of journals, that would be ok as well. Here are some of the combinations that you could do with the gift voucher:

Possible Bridesmaid Dresses: ASOS: Part 1

bridalrehab — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 07:14:40 +0000

During my usual online perusing and all around snooping, I went to ASOS and fell in love with a TON of their dresses. I try to limit my ASOS visits for that very reason. That reason being that I LOVE EVERYTHING THEY SELL. Also, ASOS has created a bit of a conflict between my closet and wallet. I hope to resolve it soon but I’m afraid it’s a lost cause.

Getting back to the task at hand, I found some fabulous dresses that I thought would be awesome for your best ladies to rock on your important day. There was so many dresses that I loved and wanted to show you that I was unable to cut it down. So, this post will be a two parter. Let’s get started with the first batch, shall we?
