Yellow is one of the top wedding trends for summer 2009. Ha! Who knew my mom was way ahead of her time with her yellow and white themed wedding in 76'. Yep, yellows of all hues are making a sunny debut this season. Below is an inspiration board I made up that is a whimsical spin on the bright color. Enjoy!

So, during my usual blog stalking I came across this video clip " A brief Guide to Bridesmaids". Being a bridesmaid myself for my brother and soon to be sister in- laws wedding, I found this little clip amuzing. Any girl that has been a bridesmaid or will some day be one, check this out. It's cute and entertaining. The Dessy Group (bridesmaid dresses) created this to go along with their new website launch BridesmaidGuide.com
P.S. I will be wearing Sage for my dress ;)
About a week ago Kate and I had the pleasure of listening to the Editor of Boston Weddings Magazine Donna Garlough speak at a brunch in Newburyport. Boston Weddings is a fairly new magazine put out by Boston Magazine to help the Boston and New England Brides plan their amazing wedding. Their Fall/Winter Issue is out now so make sure you go pick one up, it is Donna's first issue as the Editor, and she did awesome! Kate and I love it.
We also want to thank Koryn for inviting us so we can meet face to face and we were so happy to see some of our friends there too.
Here is a shot of Donna showing off the new issue.
