Blush + Bashful

I’m writing you from Nassau, Bahamas. Yes, that’s right. I’m escaping the winter chill of Chicago in the islands! Sandals invited a group of wedding planners from The Association of Bridal Consultants to spend some quality time with them. It is a wonderful week of education, entertainment, and relaxation.

Here’s a photo to make you jealous…

Please join the Blush & Bashful Event Boutique Facebook Group. It’ll be fun!

I just found this fun “game” on the Tiffany & Co. website today. I thought I’d share it, since it’s the holiday season and you may be daydreaming about gifts–sparkly gifts.

Build Your Own Celebration Ring!

I also wanted to let you know about a fun new trend has started in engagement rings…and it’s easier on the wallet than you might expect. Instead of choosing a traditional engagement ring with one large stone, try an eternity band! For your wedding ring, select another complimentary or matching eternity band for a beautiful set.  Then, when you celebrate life’s big events (first home, new baby, milestone birthday), you have an automatic gift that he can’t mess up! Only kidding, guys!

I just received this email from Sonia Roselli, makeup artist extraordinaire, with a fabulous offer for winter facials. It’s a great gift idea for a special friend who loves pampering (and really, who doesn’t?!) or a bride-to-be who is prepping for the big day. Oh? Is that you? Yes, you can give yourself this gift, girl!

Have you seen the latest ad campaign from Amsale? It features the chicest gown I’ve ever seen with the bonus of POCKETS! What a brilliant idea. Not that you need pockets on your wedding day when you have a B&B coordinator there to carry your kleenex and lip gloss…but pockets just make everything cuter. And, if you are shy, it gives you something to do with your hands when you’re not carrying your bouquet.

Here’s the beautifully simple front:

Leanne, winner of Project Runway’s Season Five, created an amazing pocketed wedding gown for a challenge. I loved it immediately!
