T4B - Muscari

Tips for Brides (T4B) is a weekly feature where I talk about a cool tip that I think will benefit brides everywhere. For more T4Bs, click here!

Today’s Tip for Brides is short and sweet.. I discovered this amazing vendor on my favorite blog, Southern Weddings Magazine, and I’m in love with their products. Check out Easter Yu’s Muscari line: (photos stolen from her website)

I adore these birch ring holders! They would fit in so well at a rustic, peach-and-cream wedding

Awesome shell ring holder for a beach wedding:

If you don’t want to make guests wait until the end of the night to give you a grand exit, fill these cones with flower petals and put them on the end of each row during the ceremony, and have the guest throw the petals in the air was you walk down the aisle. It’s a great photo op, especially for outdoor ceremonies!

I could not possibly be any more obsessed with these amazing boutonnières

Fantastic hairpieces to give to your bridesmaids or to replace your veil with at the reception

And for those of you who love to blow people away with amazing accessories, she has some seriously showstopping jewelry

To see more of Easter’s beautiful collection, check out her shop on Etsy.com!

Cool news :: Some of my work is featured in the latest issue of Weddings in Houston Magazine!

Hillary Smith, the wonderful wedding coordinator at the Hotel Derek in downtown Houston, sent in some of our wedding photography images to the editor, and they chose Alex and Nick to be one of their featured weddings for this issue. I am so happy for these two - it couldn’t happen to a more deserving couple! I’m honored that I was able to be the photographer for this beautiful wedding, and I can’t wait to shoot at the Derek again for Jennifer and Anthony’s Houston wedding next year. Thanks, Mr. and Mrs. Luton for all your love and support! If you live in the Houston area, pick up the latest issue of Weddings in Houston and check it out!

A cool, random note: Most wedding magazines will only feature wedding photography vendors who have paid a lot, lot, lot of money. I know that it requires tens of thousands of dollars to become a featured vendor with most major wedding mags (The Knot, D Weddings, etc), despite the fact that the magazines often pass these advertisements off as “real recommendations by real brides.” I think it says a lot about Weddings in Houston magazine that they would feature my work, even though they have never gotten a dime of my money. That is respectable, and very unusual in the wedding industry these days.

Regular readers may already know about my love of Etsy.com, but I found a new store on Etsy that I am OBSESSED with.  Adrienne of Luxe Deluxe is a lovely Brit who makes some of the most beautiful vintage jewelry I have ever seen.  I have seriously favorited at least 25 of her pieces.  Here are a couple of my faves:

I love love love her work, and her bridal collection is so feminine and delicate.  If you’re looking for something unique to wear on your wedding day, talk to Adrienne, she is super talented!  My personal recommendation:  The initial cameo (bottom right corner) would be great for a bride - get one with the first letter of your new last name!

Anyone have any cool July 4th plans?  I was supposed to have a mini-family reunion in Little Rock, but a sick little kitty and Jason’s unpredictable work schedule have probably nixed that.  Tell me what you will be doing Friday and let me live vicariously through you!
