Ahhh, August. We're right smack dab in the middle of wedding season, folks, and one of our favorite things about summer weddings are the flowers! Check out these incredible floral accessory ideas via Bridal Musings, which prove that petals can go so far beyond bouquets & boutonnieres!
Talk about gorgeous! Happy August, loves.
Since it's the last day of April, we thought we'd talk flowers before the May showers begin! We love this chart via Bayside Bride, which breaks down wedding flowers by season-- an important thing to keep in mind when planning a socially and eco-concious affair. Added bonus: choosing flowers and foods that are in season will help you get more bang for your buck!
We love these fabulous holiday florals sent to us by our friends at Edge Floral Design! Thanks for putting us in the cheerful holiday spirit!
With all these summer weddings, it's can be challenging to make your bridal party stand out from the bunch. When getting creative with the special ladies in your life, don't forget about the littlest gal in the group. We are absolutely smitted with these creative ideas for flower girls via Snippet & Ink.

We've got bouquets on the brain, so we figured we'd hop over to The Full Bouquet [florist Holly Chapple's blog] to share some of our favorite bouquets from the DC flower queen.
If you've yet to settle on a florist, be sure to check out Holly's work-- we promise you won't be disappointed, and she's an absolute doll to work with!
As we hinted yesterday, we had a total blast at our 'Upon A Star' Wedding Gown Giveaway Celebration on Friday!
With 6 amazing finalists and over 3000 public votes, it was an exciting race to the finish. The lovely Farisa Dastvar won the gorgeous Eternal Flame gown by Jorge Manuel. She assembled an exuberant crew of friends and family to help her celebrate the exciting news!
With Hitched owners Carin and Julia and designer Jorge Manuel standing by, watching Jeanine Lalonde, last year's 'Upon A Star' winner, announce this year's winner was truly a treat!
We are especially thankful to our amazing partners for helping to make sure a great event. The guests were treated to delicious fare by Design Cuisine, beautiful Flowers By Sidra, and fun party favors-- personalized note cards by Meant to be Calligraphy. In addition to a custom gown by Jorge Manuel, Farisa got to spend the night at the luxurious Fairmont Hotel [how divine]!
A huge thanks to the oh-so-talented Chris Anderson of Route 1 Multimedia for photographing the event so beautifully. Congrats again to our lucky bride-to-be!
