Clara Kasavina

I first discovered Clara Kasavina handbags at the Wedding Salon Event I attended at the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC back in March of this year. I revisited her site today and found the most gorgeous handbag! It's handmade with Swarovski elements, genuine mink, and ostrich feathers! Absolutely fabulous.


Priced at $1875, but remember I shared a promo code with you back in March. Use code "WSalon09" and get 20% off your purchase. Just e-mail sales@clarakasavina.com to redeem.

i love yellow

Going for a fresh, summer look for your wedding day? Try a bright, citrus yellow!

I'm bringing Amanda1986 back~

I had to bring Amanda1986 from Etsy back!! She has such gorgeous and unique creations to offer ... I can't stop going back to see what else she's made! If you missed my earlier post in February, click here.

Look at these beautiful centerpieces in vintage tea tins!! Just $30 for the pair!! Think how lovely these would look sitting atop the table for your bridal shower or rehearsal dinner. Your guests will "ooh" and "aah" over them (like I do), and the best part is, they get to take them home and they won't wilt or die like real flowers!



This one is a bonus feature... how amazing is this boutonniere?! It's made of ostrich feathers! So glam, so fabulous. I just love it. Only $18.


Colette Malouf

My colleague could not stop gushing about the Colette Malouf hair accessories she found for her wedding and she urged me to share on Blabber Bride. She's right -- if you're not going for the princess tiara look, and you're not going for the ultra feminine, fresh flower look, what do you have left for your pretty little wedding head??! Well, CM's collection offers contemporary, chic hair pieces for the fashion-forward bride. Finally!

P.S. Congratulations, AB!!! I can't wait to see your wedding photos!!
=)



Another great find from Etsy!

No more dust-collector guest favors! If you are a practical and eco-friendly bride, you'll want to check out these adorable soap favors from Primitive Earth on Etsy.com. Based in Charlottesville, VA, this Etsy member makes all-natural vegetable soaps using ingredients that are close to the earth. The soaps are scented with 100% essential oils, NO synthetic fragrances. You choose the scent from a variety of options!

Plus, provide a sample of your invitation or describe your wedding theme, and they will match the font and style on the soap labels. Label includes type of soap, name/date/event details, and ingredients. Soaps average 1.7 to 2 ounces each (about half the size of a regular bar), and are wrapped in adorable fabric, and topped off with your choice of grosgrain ribbon. $22.50 for a set of 10.

Apothecary Jars

Hi Ladies~ I'm back!!!!!!!!

It's been nearly two months since I've been on BlabberBride, and about a month since I returned from Italy. I fell head-over-heels in love with the country, particularly Tuscany and Florence, and definitely needed some time to unravel and unwind from the trip before I could get back to my ordinary life.

Many people have been so kind in sending me material for BlabberBride, nudging me to start blogging again. The stuff that I've received is pretty awesome... some really cool deals, new and funky ideas, and even personal stories and photos of your own weddings. Thank you, everyone!! I hope no one is too disappointed that I didn't actually use the material here. Please know that I used everything as inspiration!

I guess I just needed to find my own thing... and I think I've found it!! I don't know if you'll love it as much as me, but here goes...

Apothecary jars!!! Look how beautiful this table looks!!! The jars are holding rose heads, nests, and birch... it just feels so warm and cozy, but also very feminine and natural. It kind of reminds me of the countryside... maybe Tuscany!!?? I just love it. It would be perfect for a garden wedding, don't you think?

You could buy high-quality, preserved rose heads which would last much longer than fresh rose heads. I just think it's so pretty~ Click on the photo to enlarge and get a closer look.
