Get Organized!

New year, new resolution - organize! And if you're newly engaged then there is no better time than the present to prepare yourself accordingly. Plan and prep in style and efficiently of course with this fabulous russell+hazel binder by Anne Chertoff (bridal expert from iVillage, Martha, Brides.com, and her own I Will to I Do).

The easy-to-use system takes a whole new approach to organization. Inside are printed tabs for primary sections and unprinted tabs for customization; there is a planning notebook for list-making, note-taking and sketching and the pages are perforated and punched so they can be moved to the binder. Also included are business-card holders, pockets for receipts, sheet protectors (perfect for fabric swatches or magazine clippings of dresses and flowers), post-it notes and page markers. These elements, with their chartreuse and orchid accents make it hard to stop planning!And if your the tech-savvy bride, download the worksheets available from russell+hazel. Just print out the worksheets and put them in the binder. Now you have no excuse not to stay on top of things!

The Bridal Bar on The Girls Next Door

So remember way back when we shared a few behind the scenes photos of our shoot for the Girls Next Door?!?! Well this past weekend the episode aired (and will continue to re-air for weeks to come so be sure to check it out)! Believe it or not, we have yet to see the segment, but the emails about those gorgeous gowns are flooding in. So to answer your question - where do you find those gowns?!?!? They are from Encore Bridal. Julie and her team will take great care of you!! Bunny or not :)The gals left with rhinestone tanks by Weddingish, and of course all the amazing Bridal Bar vendors are in our stores and online. Thanks ladies for visiting us and wishing the newlyweds a happy, happy marriage!!

Martha Gives Gift (Wrap)

Martha Stewart is giving all of us something unique this holiday season...free, downloadable gift wrap! How fab is this? Runs right out of your home or office printer and your packages can look like they popped out of the pages of Martha. We heart her :)
