Trend Watch: The Heigl Look


b10f_1.JPGOne growing trend predicted to be hot in 2008 is the bird cage veil. Made popular originally by Reese in Sweet Home Alabama and then seen on Jessica in The Fantastic Four.

Katherine Heigl gave the trend a huge boost when pictures of her December 07 appeared in OK Magazine spotting a stunning, chic birdcage veil with gorgeous pear shaped drop earrings!

Want the look, on a budget? Of course you do!! Take a look at what we found!

Birdcage Veils on Ebay, including the one shown above, sell for between $32-$60 ($38 for the one shown). You can also find a variety of colors including white, ivory, pink, red and black.

But – it’s more then just the veil that makes Heigl’s look pop – the stunning pear or teardrop shaped diamond earrings are amazing as well! So – we thought we better get some options for that as well:)

This first find is from Blair- a $126 pair of CZ earrings currently on for $59.99.

Custom Monograms

Here is a find I HAD to share!! I found this seller on eBay (yes, I spend a fair bit of time on there, lol) and they offer custom monograms. The ones above are just a few of the options offered, and the cost is fairly reasonable – less then $20 for a digital custom monogram which you can then use on your STD’s, invitations, programs, etc. If you want to try your hand at some DIY projects but aren’t all the graphically inclined – this is a great, affordable way to add a professional touch to all your DIY projects:)

UPDATE: This seller also has a website! If she doesn’t have any listed on eBay, you can find her collection on her website as well.

Since my last post was about Save The Date cards, I thought I would look for some STD bargains to share today:)  I found a lot, but for this post, I am going to show you three of my favorites:)

First up is a clear vellum Save The Date card, that comes in just about any color you wish. What you do is send them the font color you prefer, and then they find a ribbon to match that font color as closely as possible. These are definitely adorable and priced at $25 for 50 – that’s 50 cents a piece. Not bad at all. You can also pick from a large selection of font faces so that it better matches the look and feel you are aiming for with your wedding.

I also liked these Shadow Box Magnet save the date cards. I like the dimensional idea, it’s a nice twist on the popular magnet choice. From what I can tell, they are only available in the white and black – but they are very elegant and would work with any wedding scheme.  These ones are $48 for 48 – so twice the price as the ones above, but that is till a fairly decent price.

And my last find is not a card, but it’s a nice touch. These are Save The Date envelope seals, and they are just adorable so I had to share them:) They are fairly cheap as well, a set of 25 seals is less then $4. If you have the budget for that, it’s an awesome way to add a finishing touch to you STD’s before you send them out:)

Our first eBargain is this lovely white and silver snowflake ring pillow, with a sheer organza overlay, Absolutely lovely for a winter wedding. I would take it and add a wide silver ribbon around the middle for an extra touch. I found this one at Wedding Accessories By Jessica for $9.99.

Joanne’s Wedding Invitation


We have decided to make invitations ourselves. I made out four, 4.25 x 5.5 inch designs. Joanne is having a hard time deciding between the first two. (By the way, if you click on the images, a full size will open and you can save it. They are free gerbera daisy invitation templates that you are welcome to use:) If you do use one, let me know – I’d love to see the results)

idea4.jpgidea2.jpgideqa1.jpgidea3.jpg

The invitation will be made as a card. The gerbera square (also free, take if you wish) shown below will be on the front, right hand corner of each invitation, with the guest’s names printed next to it (one of the benefits of DIY – fully customizable!!!) For those that need to be mailed, the address will be printed right on the front of the card so envelopes will not be needed.
The design Joanne chooses will go inside the card, with the invitation wording printed there as well. Each card will be sealed with a daisy sticker – purchased as a set from ebay for 99 cents!

Once we finish them – I will take some more pictures:)
