Martha Stewart Book Signing

If you happen to be in New York this Sunday, stop in at Macy's where Martha Stewart will cut the ribbon to open the 34th Annual Macy’s Flower Show. After the ceremony, she will be in the Fine China department to sign her two new books, Martha Stewart’s Cookies and Martha Stewart’s Wedding Cakes.



I won't happen to be anywhere near New York City on Sunday so if anyone feels like picking up a book for me I'd be grateful, either book will do but I would prefer Wedding Cakes. Have her address it to "My friend Lisa,..."

Sunday, March 16 at 11:30 a.m.
Macy’s Herald Square, 8th floor – China
34th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue
New York, New York

Suitcase Favour Tins

Aren't these cute? For the destination wedding. Or a travel themed wedding. They may not be formal enough for your occasion so perhaps a fun save the date - "Pack your bags!" Or a thank you for the rehearsal dinner. Or a favour from the engagement party. What would you use them for?



The company that brings us this cuteness? - Shop Love Me. They also offer custom labels, here's a few examples...

Real Wedding :: Kate + Kelly

The green shoes in the post below piqued my interest so much I just had to go looking for the rest of the wedding. Kim Bednarski is the talent behind this photograph and I found a wonderful gallery of additional photographs on her site.

The choice of bridesmaids dresses paired with the vibrant green shoes and complemented by the crisp white calla lilies make a beautiful statement of style. I am crazy about this colour combination and am in admiration of the couple’s approach to their day. The bride looks entirely stunning in her dress and birdcage veil and she looks like she’s having such a wonderful time. The lovable little flower girl makes the day complete.

Pretty Pictures

I was just browsing around the Wedding Photojournalism Association website and couldn't tear myself away from their contest winners for q4 2007. I thought I'd share some of my favourites with you - my gift to you, some eye candy for the weekend.
