The Long and Mostly Short of it

Ahhh the short wedding dress. Great for the backyard wedding, or the simple vows on the beach, or maybe a second time around bride.  The shorter length dress makes a great statement, and I don't think brides should be limited to that style of dress for smaller or more informal weddings.  Why not buy a fabulous coloured shoes, and show them off on your big day with an elaborate wedding dress that is cut around the knee.  This is something that isn't too typical, but soon will be an upcoming trend.  A short dress is a great way to be different, and add major style!

Summer Bliss

Summer is over, but we might as well think about it a little more so we can stay nice and warm.  Here is to the summer brides, and the summer bliss.  Purple is a must this year, and goes great with greens, blues, reds, pinks! Just remember....anything goes.

Cute as a Button

What we collect says a lot about our personalities.  Whether you collect buttons or coins, stamps or dolls... it all is a glimpse into your personality.  So when you are thinking about a theme for your wedding, look as close as your collections.  Whatever it may be, use your collection as your theme to help bring your personality to your wedding.

Let's start with a button collection :)  I hunted down some great ways to use your collection as your wedding theme.  Use it as a bouquet....for your favours....guest book...anything goes.  This is a great idea for the DIY bride who is crafty.  Enjoy!

DIY Paper Cones

It's craft time for the stylish event party planners.  Here is a great DIY that is simple, but can be used in so many different ways.  The paper cone can be used as a flower girl basket, a guest favour, or even a pew marker.  Decorate with flowers, ribbon, lace, or even feathers (our favourite this season).  Anything goes, so just use your imagination and your fabulous personality for this fun and simple project.

Holiday Cheer is Here

The weather outside isn't frightful yet, but it is just around the corner. This means the holiday season is here, and it is time to start shopping!!!  Our D.S. & Co. staff gave our top picks for gifts this year for that special someone.  Let the holidays begin....



Spring Chic

After our amazing Grand Opening last night it got me thinking... What would be my idea wedding colour.  I could not answer the question because I think I have a favourite colour for every season! That led me to do a series of inspirations on the different seasons... 1st up... Spring Chic..

It is such a fresh color palette combined with just plain goodness!  Hope you all have a Happy Sunday... and stay tuned for "Summer Bliss".

It is all in the shoes

It is no secret....I love shoes!!
