Love, love, love these preppy dos for your wedding day (via brides.com). And yes, I do confess I have an obsession for headbands. They are the perfect preppy accessory.

Casual Black & White Maids
I've gotten a request from a summer bride looking for bridesmaids dresses that will fulfuill her black & white preppy affair. Here are my favorites via nordstrom. I would advise - stay away from graphic prints as they will look to overdone with your multiple maids!
Eliza J Strapless Party Dress - $158 (it comes also comes in lots of jewel tones)
BCBG Strapless Floor Gown - $340 (this one is expensive, but I LOVE it, I mean it looks like toile, hello?)
And just because ...
Preppy Wedding Takes a Vacation (to attend a wedding!!)
Hi Friends!
Sorry for the lack of posts last week. Things have been a little crazy at work and I have just been playing catch up physically since my trip to NYC. And do you remember me telling you about that destination wedding in Mexico, well the husband and I leave at 6 am tomorrow for sunny Playa del Carmen. It is going to be a fantastic trip to celebrate the wedding of Mr. Preppy Wedding’s best friend from college.
I’ve got some posts saved up for you all, so I’m hoping that you’ll be hearing from me even as I sit on the beach with a margarita in hand. Oh and since I know you’re wondering, I got this fantastic dress for the wedding, this staple for the rehearsal dinner and a bunch of cute finds from Target to round out the mix. I’ll also be taking pictures so you’ll get to see all the fun we’ve had when I return.
Before I go, I do have some great wedding finds for you this Tuesday morning.
For you girls who want to do suits for your groom & groomsmen, run over to this sale at Joseph A Banks. They have their fantastic year round suits on sale for $99.00 in a variety of colors. This is what our groomsmen wore and they loved the suits.
Check out Maggie’s real-life super preppy winter wedding. I created a storyboard for her here, but now you can see the results of her big day. Congrats Maggie!
And I am loving this fantastic silhouette necklace. Do you think it would be weird to wear a LuLu silhouette around all day?
So, look out for posts this week & next. And I promise lots of details from our destination wedding adventure!

Can you see me here at our hotel with a drink in hand?

Preppy Wedding Albums
Sorry for the lack of posts this week. Things have been a little crazy with the traveling and with work. I promise to have bunches of good stuff for you next week.
Hope everyone had a fun Valentine's Day. Mr. Preppy Wedding got me some cute monogrammed desk accessories and I got him this cool watch and the super cute family tree by Good Stock Designs (check out Kim's site, it is amazing). We topped it off with a casual dinner here and watching Lost together for dessert.
As March approaches, I am surprised to see that I have almost been married for a year. So, I am setting a goal to put together my wedding album before my actual anniversary. Here are some options I am considering. I am leaning towards the first because I want something simple and timeless. Have you all found any other fantastic ways to make an album?
Together Book (they bind your photographs into a linen album with a stamped cover)
My Publisher
Martha Stewart Photo Book (via Kodak Gallery)
I'm also thinking of doing these cute MS mini-books for my bridesmaids, they are oh so cute.

The Pandora (in pink, gold or silver)
The Pendant Pump (in red for a splash of color)
The Wistful (in gold)
The Fizz (in Eyelet for the summer bride)

CD Wedding Favor Resources
I was looking at ebay for K&B these last few days and found some great options for wedding CD favors (my favorite kind of favors!!).
I really like these tin CD containers and they come with everything you need to make it look beautiful. All you have to do is make a compilation and burn the CD. I also like these paper envelopes and glassine sleeves if you want to customize your CD a little more.
In other news, I am heading to NYC tomorrow for work and to visit my best friend. Not sure what the itinerary holds this time around, but I am sure it will be lots of fun. I just got a new camera, and I have added a flickr stream to the site, so I'll be sure to post some photos from my adventures next week. They're calling for snow in the city this weekend, so I had to get these fantastic (and comfortable) boots for myself (well, to be honest they're an early Valentine's Day present from Mr. Preppy Wedding). Fret not, they were 70% off here (if you're in Richmond, stop by everything is on BIG sale).
So, I hope everybody has a fantastic weekend!

K&B Preppy Wedding Attire
Just wanted to keep you all in the loop on that resolution I passed earlier in January.
I have enlisted the first Preppy Wedding Inc. wedding that will be held at a plantation near Richmond in October of 2008. I’m working with the lovely couple K&B to make sure that the wedding goes off without a hitch. You’ll be seeing the results of my initial storyboarding this month and I’m going to lead off with some ideas about attire for the wedding. See below for details and happy Monday everyone!
