Custom calligraphy is a trend that should never die. With all the technological advances available, there are much simpler ways to get your envelopes and wedding day items personalized, but the personality and beauty behind calligraphy cannot be matched. Check out Calligraphy Girl for outstanding local, custom calligraphy.

I love this Butterfly Meadow theme for a bridal shower.
When shopping for gifts for your bridal party, your rehearsal dinner outfit, digs for your man or decorating your home, consider those that make an effort to be eco-friendly, like Yoox.com. Catching up on my PopSugar Daily I saw that Yoox.com has started an "earth-friendly initiative called Yooxygen, offering exclusive, limited-edition eco fashions, books, and housewares. Beyond stocking organic, recycled, and vintage goods, the ECO-mmerce shop will offset 100 percent of the CO2 emissions produced by shipping its merchandise."
When checking out Earth Friendly Weddings blog we saw this great nail polish, Acquarella, "one of the least hazardous nail polishes you can wear. It doesn't contain ingredients linked to cancer or evelopmental/reproductive toxicity, like some other polishes do. And they have a pretty nice array of colors to choose from."
Cruising blogs, I stopped by Alison Ulshoffer Events & Designs and couldn't help but fall in love with the colorful tutus I saw!! These fantastic, playful designs are by I Luv U TuTu Much! How cute is that name?! These too cute tutus would make any flower girl feel like a princess or ballerina. If they're too much for your wedding, consider giving one to your precious flower girl as a thank you gift for participating in the wedding.

A blog we stalk....Anderson-Green Events touched on the very sensitive subject of follow through with vendors. While we all expect the same level of professionalism across the board, sometimes misguiding vendors slip through the cracks. Lisa touched on this subject in a recent blog post and we agree, if you're not hearing from your vendors, they need to hear from you. Check out her original post here.
