Twin Hearts Photography

If you’re lucky enough to find a photography duo that snaps gorgeous photos and shoots video that’s just as stunning (they can be hard to find), book them! Meet Twin Hearts Photography. They find beauty in the subtle moments that might go unnoticed, can teach you how to Dougie (huge brownie points!), and they may or may not have convinced an entire wedding party to jump into a pool with their clothes on – no pressure. We’ll let their work do all the talking!

In between capturing your day, we can almost guarantee they’ll shed a tear at your wedding. That’s what makes them so great – they’re down to earth and would be honored to photograph and make your day last forever…or at least until you book them again to shoot your baby/family portraits!

Ooh la la, it’s February. The month of hot pinks, reds, golds and feeling flirty. With just eight days to go until the loveliest day of the year, we couldn’t help ourselves from sharing our favorite ModCloth finds. With over 700 indie designers to choose from, let’s just say, there’s a lot to look through when you’re on the site. It’s a shopping haven. Plus, they make it so easy to shop. Their talented team has curated the cutest Sweetheart Shop with gifts for him, her, and you!

Guest tote: Hawaii

Not that we’re picking favorites or anything, but one of our favorite type of wedding to feature on the blog is a destination wedding. There’s free reign to design the cutest beach-inspired invitation, your closest friends and family hop on a plane to celebrate with you (surprise, you’re partying with us in Hawaii!), your white gown looks extra stunning flowing aside the white sand – and the best part is – you don’t have to worry about planning a honeymoon. Just throw on that vintage one-piece you’ve been dying to wear, toss up your hair in a bright wrap, pina colada in hand, and hey look, next to you catching the same romantic rays of never-ending sunlight, is your new husband. Dream come true, made.

Let us help you envision this beautiful Hawaiian wedding shall we? We’ll let the photos from David + Nazare’s wedding do all the talking…

Rightfully so, when planning a destination wedding it’s nice to have a little gift for your guests upon them excitedly opening the doors to their Hawaiian retreat that just so happens to be your wedding. Heather from One Love Photo helped us out in putting together the perfect guest tote fitting for a perfect stay on the islands.

Now it’s time to do two things: plan the Hawaiian wedding of your dreams and visit Live in the Moment!

Happy traveling, Cakelets!

Traveler’s Joy

100layercake — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:30:27 +0000

Truth is, your family and friends would rather pitch in and buy you a gift that goes towards your honeymoon: a night’s stay in Bora Bora, a Vespa ride in Italy, or a camera to capture all your sweet lovey moments in Belgium. They’re gifts that mean something and don’t just take up space on your kitchen counter (yes, a blender is nice too). That’s why we’re smitten over Traveler’s Joy. It’s the best of both worlds: your guests can easily give you a special wedding gift and you receive what you really want – the honeymoon of your dreams.

Traveler’s Joy has become popular among couples registering for ‘physical items’ related to their honeymoon. Travel guidebooks, camera, video-cameras, luggage, snorkeling gear – really, anything you can dream of. Their registry system makes it easy to divide those high-ticket items into manageable gifts so a camera that may cost $500 is actually spit up into 4 gift of $125. Oh, the possibilities…

Get a glimpse into some of the locations and items couples are registering for on Traveler’s Joy Real Member Stories page. It’s the best way to get you brainstorming honeymoon ideas. Then start making your registry!

Macy’s Wedding Registry

100layercake — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:30:34 +0000

There’s a floor in every Macy’s that you can walk into with your soon-to-be hubby and scan your future household appliances, and other pretty obsessions away! Or you can do it from the comfort of your home. It’s amazing. From dinnerware to a juicer, to Jonathan Adler, Kate Spade (we could go on) product under the sun – they seriously have it all.

Plus they make it so easy to add anything you can dream of having in your new little home (online, via your phone, or in the store). Bonus: They give you gifts just for getting gifts. Every gift you get from your registry gives you 5% of that purchase price back in your pocket. So that KitchenAid Mixer you’ve been pining for? It retails for $399. Your mom buys it for you and you get 5% of that purchase in your Star Awards account. That’s like getting $20 bucks! Um, yes and thank you.

The perks to registering with Macy’s: Ever try to return a wedding gift to a superstore? Not fun at all. Superstores make it hard to make returns if they go a month after the date of purchase. Macy’s makes it easy peasy. You can return on-line and in-store up to a year after your wedding date (enough time for you to settle into your new abode and figure out what needs to go back), as long as the item is on your registry. And you get back the actual price of the item when it was purchased, not the subsequent sales prices. Love that!

Those beauties above are some of our favorite picks. If you’re loving them and want to add them to your registry asap, head to Macy’s Registry to get started! Happy shopping, Cakelets!

*not valid on any beauty/fragrance purchase. Nor do you get 10% back from furniture if it’s self-purchased. So while you cannot register for furniture at Macy’s, you can use your rewards gift card to purchase that sofa or Karastan rug of your dreams.
