My DARLING (and crazy talented) dear friends, Paige and Kelly of Bash Please recently celebrated their book release of “The New-Fashioned Wedding” by hosting a book signing at BHLDN. I die! The event was so beyond gorgeous, so we thought we would share some images AND to make you feel better about missing it, give away one of their books!!! Even better, we’re also giving away two tickets to The Cream Event, that Paige and Kelly host a few times a year. This one takes place in Los Angeles at Vibiana on March 10.
So are you excited? A book and tickets giveaway??? Leave some comment love and we’ll pick a winner!
*Gorgeous images shot by Brooke Schwab Photography! Other vendors included florals by Bows and Arrows, catering by Acute Catering and photobooth by Smilebooth.
One of the things that couples don’t often think about until it’s too late is wedding insurance. We’ve recently learned from our newest sponsor, Markel Wedding Insurance, that there are more scenarios that you might imagine where wedding insurance should become part of your wedding planning process. Due to the nature of large budgets and hefty deposits, if your wedding is canceled or postponed, due to a covered circumstance (covered circumstance explained below), Markel will reimburse you for lost deposits and even provides coverage for lost or stolen jewelry and gifts, event photography that isn’t delivered, damage to your wedding attire, and additional expenses you may incur to avoid cancellation. Covered circumstances are situations like health emergencies (a parent in the hospital and now can’t make your wedding), location misconduct (your venue declares bankruptcy a week before your event), deployment (your fiance gets called into action) and even severe weather (natural disasters like hurricanes).
If you are planning a destination wedding to Mexico and the weather makes it necessary for you to postpone the event–Markel Wedding Insurance would cover your costs to postpone or even possibly relocate the wedding. On top of all that, Markel makes it super easy to get a custom quote, chat online or call, and purchase a policy! Their customer service is fab, so we definitely recommend trying it out in case if now you’re like me, and lay awake at night imagining what would happen if…
Call 1-855-480-9757 or visit Markel Wedding Insurance to get a quote today!
P.S. They even have Wedding Liability Insurance if your venue requires it. (They really have thought of everything!)
(We thought you’d enjoy a few images of a destination styled wedding we put together last year. This is the type of event that would be easily affected by unpredictable weather!)

As you know, we are very proud to be partnered with Lover.ly–a wedding inspiration site with tons of gorgeous images that are so well tagged and organized, that it’s beyond easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. One of my favorite new additions is the Lover.ly style quiz. I had fun answering the questions and seeing results that really were my style! After I narrowed down color, here’s what I ended up with–so me:
Besides searching, saving, and sharing my images, I’m also able to shop, which is my newest favorite part. Is it wrong that I want that Elli Saab perfume even though I’ve never smelled it? It’s just so pretty! Anyhow, head over to Lover.ly to get started.
