It has been quite a difficult mission finding cute, contemporary, chic dresses with sleeves. Here are some that I managed to find from Spanish design house Pronovias' Runway Show (courtesy of brides.com)
I know a lot of people are doing a 'birdy' theme, or at least 'birdy' accents for their Spring weddings. Here are a few goodies I found online that fit this theme!
from Williams-Sonoma, and even on sale!

So very sorry for my absence. It is fiscal year end at my real job and I am up to my eyeballs in paperwork. Y'all know how much I love this blog, it's just that the blog is not paying the mortgage, my tab at J Crew or for LuLu to get her much needed monthly pedicures.
I apologize in advance for all the e-mails I have not answered. I promise you'll see a lot more of me after April 15. This week is shaping up to be a busy one, Monday was my very first wedding anniversary and my sweet husband took me shopping at the outlets to celebrate. I got lots of fun, cute things and he lasted more than two hours shopping. This marriage is really taking him outside of his comfort zone, you see.
Tonight I am meeting up with a bunch of sorority sisters and tomorrow I am hosting a girlie game night at our house. I also have bunches of pics from Mexico and Easter that I need to upload to flickr.
So posting will be sparse for a few weeks, please do forgive me. For now, I have a few new wedding blog obsessions that may take up the slack. So, head over to:
Ritzy Bee (a DC/Northern Virginia Event Planning Company's blog)
It's Lovely
The McWoods (Love, love their most recent post on Do you know us icebreaker cards)
Happy Reading!
I'm loving artist Kathy bransfield's handmade necklaces.
inside reads “A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you today just the way you are” –Proverbs 27:17
yes, you read right. artichokes. I recently became inspired to try and find some non-traditional, non-floral wedding or party table decor. Let me know if you see any other pictures floating around, as I found it quite difficult to come up with some gorgeous artichoke texture shots. Enjoy!

In honour of Easter, I thought i'd blog about some egg-themed wedding items. A faberge theme would be oh-so-cute too!

This cake from the Cake Corner is amazing!
From Sweet Dreams
Russian Imperial Egg Candleholders and Placecards from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC's giftshop! gotta love shopping for a cause!

This personalised favour from Eve's Eggs is so cute!
A great bridal tea/shower or registry gift (u know how I love nigella!). From the Perfect Gift Australia.
So, I have a new super crush on the very talented Michael Buble who I had the chance to hear in concert last night in Charlottesville. Let me just say, he is very funny and very cute, two characteristics that I find irresistible in a boy. A big thanks to my friend Paige who won tickets, but had to stay home to take care of her sick little man.
For all you brides-to-be, he sang this great song which would be fantastic for a first dance. He also plays multi-million dollar weddings, so if you money to spare, you should hire him.
In other news, you have to check out Connecticut Charm's blog. She has organized a preppy blogger spring swap that sounds like loads of fun. I can't wait to start thinking about what I will send my secret preppy pal.
Last, but not least, you have to check out weddingpaperdivas.com for their new letterpress partnership with William Arthur Stationary. You can now order your favorite wedding paper divas designs in letterpress and you know how much I adore all their designs. They really have created something for every wedding. I used them for the stationary needs of my own wedding and was so impressed with the quality of their work and the responsiveness of their customer service!
Well, I am off for now. This gal is getting her hair cut tonight and prepping for lots of Easter fun as my best friend Erin is on her way home from NYC!
Today I'm lusting after the gorgeous cakes by Peggy Porschen of London.
I really like this cake by Peggy Porschen (you london gals are so lucky!) because you can customize the ribbon after the wedding to any colour you want! what a great cake stand (and the cake ain't that bad either!) :)
I'm loving this sweet pasta bowl from Uncommon Goods by artist Beth Mueller. What a unique gift!
I am officially obsessed with the blog housemartin and her fantastic floral designs. See below for pictures from her blog and check out these amazing designs completed for a recent wedding. So, so beautiful.
Babys breath is a sweet alternative look for your bouquet. lily of the valley also looks really nice and simple. the texture is amazing, isn't it!

I'm finally back in Richmond. And I may even unpack my suitcase this weekend. And go to the grocery store, since all we have is diet chocolate cherry doctor pepper (the whole chocolate thing sounds better than it tastes) and a few bottles of wine.
I also got this dress in rust and it is super flattering. I am considering this dress (they only had one in the store and it wasn't my size), it would look super cute with a black cardigan and patent heals!
Last, but not least, Mrs. Preppy Wedding has a birthday coming up on April 9th (and our one year anniversary is March 24). I thought I would create a masterful birthday wish list, just you know to dream!
J Crew Katie Sweater (in Geranium)
BR A-Line Skirt (in Millstone)

Happy Friday everyone. We get to watch our precious 1 1/2 year old nephew on Saturday and Sunday, so I am very excited to see how Mr. Preppy Wedding and I fare in with a toddler.
I'm trying to decide if I like folded napkins or napkins with rings. Here are a few cute napkin rings on sale for $.99 from Bed Bath and Beyond in silver and gold. What do you think?
these would make a great kitchen tea/bridal shower gift! funky and whimsical!
both from neiman marcus in silver plate or gold plate! both are less than $45USD as well!
Hi everyone. I am enjoying the lovely Dallas weather today from my nice office on the 32nd Floor. My mom and I had a great time visiting the West Village last night. We road a little free trolley from our hotel and had great Tex Mex at MiCocina followed by shopping in some of the cutest boutiques I have seen in a while (Epic Apparel was my favorite).
