We Love: Spring Flowers and Rose Gold

Now that spring’s well underway and we’re seeing some blooms, we’re in the mood for color. Exuberant brights, classic pastels and everything in between, please. Here’s our weekly roundup of colorful links to inspire and amuse you. Have a lovely weekend!

First, we’d love to introduce you to Alexandra Rose, one of our brand new designs in romantic rose gold. A little pop of color and an abstract, flowery design feels so right for a spring engagement.

Speaking of flowers, check these pretty floral backdrops for your reception. They’d be cool for a ceremony, too, don’t you think?

Brides to be! Are you ready for this diy pressed flower iphone case? A great memento of the big day, no?

Wow this wedding is gorgeous.

Wow these soap rocks are gorgeous. Perfect hostess gift.

Wow these photos of the Painted Desert in Utah are gorgeous. Perfect road trip idea.

When did this happen? Polka dots suddenly look so cool. We’d love to see a wedding inspired by these bold colors with dots as the unifying theme.

Cute video about J Crew shoes. Colors and patterns galore, and so many cool wear-again options for under a wedding dress!

Which brings us to the wild patterns and colors of artist Andrea Bergart. We just discovered her, and her artwork feels young, fun and perfect for the weekend!

Want to seal the deal? Forget “Engagement Chicken.” It’s all about the pasta.

We Love: Mismatched Bridesmaids Dresses

We really, really love them. The more creative, the better, as long as it’s in great taste.

Here are our top three sources for inspiration.

1. We’re really feeling these ‘maids dress color stories over on 100 Layer Cake.

2. And we thought these vintage bridesmaid dresses from ‘a living space’ would be cool for a super bohemian wedding.

3. Finally, BHLDN has the most on trend color schemes. Your bridesmaids definitely won’t complain about looking dated.

As always, we believe in doing what you love, whatever it is. So what do you think about mismatching bridesmaids dresses? Love it or leave it?

We Love: Fashion Bloggers & Art Photography

This week, we noticed these St. Patrick’s themed recipes on Epicurious, which go brilliantly with our post on emerald engagement rings.

We discovered 6 influential design bloggers to follow. (We already knew about the seventh one, Because It’s Awesome.)

We loved this interior designer’s own home, combining 19th century architecture with eclectic furniture and cool, contemporary art.

We watched this fun installation art video.

This weekend, we want to bake these triple chocolate scones.

And read these week’s end blog posts from Cup of Jo, Cupcakes and Cashmere and A Girl, A Style.

And spend time with Beatrice Jansen’s still life photography.

What’s your plan for the weekend? We hope it’s a great one.

We’d love you to Like us on Facebook, and talk to us in this blog’s comments.

We Love: A Simple Wedding

We love a great wedding, and this one is straight out of our wildest Ralph Lauren dreams. NYC couple Laurie & Brendan decided to keep it simple and romantic, with a heartfelt elopement in the Adirondacks at Lake Placid Lodge. Read their interview with one of our favorite bloggers, Joanna Goddard from A Cup of Jo. The pictures by Jon Zander Photography are crazy good and their love story was even better. Happy Monday!
