I LOVE Spring! It means the snow is going, and it also means NEW FASHIONS:) I have a weakness for cute, spring dresses both for myself and for my girls! Take a look at this adorable spring dresses that would make gorgeous (and of course, affordable & reusable) flower girl gowns.

These dress are all from Target and most are $15-$25.

First: I personal wedding addiction - Black & White! These black and white dresses would make adorable flower girl dresses, and they are so classy! Add a small white shrug to either of the first two for a very affordable, chic look.

Another look I LOVE for Spring Weddings: Floral Printed Flower Girl Dresses. I particularly like the green and blue color scheme of the first one, perfect for spring.

And of course, flower accents are great to!

And, here is one more that I just love because it is so fresh and fun. I can picture it with blue bridesmaids gowns and a white bridal gown - it would add a fun touch to the whole thing.

And here we are again, with the last of our series on great silver star eBay finds. I actually only have one item to show you today, but I liked it so much I thought it deserved it’s own post:) This wedding cake topper has a very unique, modern look to it, and would be perfect on top of a simple white wedding cake. The cake topper is available from Twinkle Designs for about $20, so it’s very affordable as well.

This cake topper would work well for a July 4th theme, a white & black theme, or a masquarade ball theme.

As I promised, I am back with a few more Silver Star finds today:) This time, I found some amazing decor touches!

Silver lanterns with star cut outs and etching - add to your decor, or use instead of flowers for your wedding party. Especially gorgeous for a candle-lite evening wedding! These are selling for $20 for the set of four.

I also really liked these silver star accents. They are 3D acrylic silver stars with glitter - and they are fairly large (6″ x 6″) without being heavy, perfect for hanging from the ceiling over your dance floor! They are sold in packs of ten, so it works out to about $2/star.

And that’s it for today:) I will have one more post tomorrow - come back then:)

I love the idea of silver stars as a July 4th wedding theme and while looking for ideas for that theme,  I spent some time on eBay looking for inspiration. I thought I would share a few of the neat things I found for those of you planning a black and white, July 4th, Christmas, Silver or Star themed wedding:)

Navy Organza Bags with Silver Stars - these ones were listed a few times by different sellers, and you can pick them up for about 50 cents per bag. Add some white candies for a great wedding favor.  Silver Star Ring Bearer’s Pillow - this one is adorable, and it was listed for $13.

Star-Studded Jewelry for you:

And some GORGEOUS silver star cufflinks for him! (Less then $10 including shipping)

I have more - but this is a good start so far:) Check back over the next few days for even more great ideas for a gorgeous silver star wedding:)

When I saw the thumbnail for this black & white wedding gown, I was a little unimpressed but something told me to take a closer look and I actually really like it! It has a VERY sexy low-cut back with just the slightest train - perfect for an informal or beach wedding. The black and silver embroidered pattern really gives it a whole character all on it’s own! This gown would be lovely for a unique bride, and for a more formal wedding, it would make a great bridesmaid’s gown as well!

For a bridal gown - it is REALLY affordable ($185!!).

Black wedding gowns are all the rage in Paris right now, but here in North America black and white is just starting to gain popularity. Adding black accents into a traditionally white aspect of the wedding makes a beautiful yet still dramatic effect. That’s why I LOVE this Black Trimmed Veil- it’s still very lovely, but with a nice dramatic touch. It would look amazing with a gown that has touches of black beading or a black sash, etc. And - it’s affordable to. This two-tiered, elbow length veil is $9.98.

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:)

Take a look at these adorable hand-decorated candles from Etsy seller, Taylored Arts! They are beautiful and fairly affordable at $8/candle. For a centerpiece, you could pair one of these candles with a black BlumeBox ($5) holding a bouquet of white silk roses. Depending on where you purchase flowers, you cost could be as low as $20/centerpiece for a stunning, elegant black and white wedding.

If you love the candle, but it doesn’t quite fit into the center piece budget - use it as an accent on the guest book table or cake table, or even as a unity candle. Here are a few more of her candles which are currently available as well.

I found this amazing Tiffany Blue and Chocolate Brown wedding cake design in the Cake America Wedding Cakes Gallery. If you are looking for cake ideas, this gallery is wonderful! They feature cake designs from many different designers and each cake includes a photo, contact information for the baker, and often a price as well so that you know what to expect. They have quite a few small/low budget wedding cake options as well.

Some of the examples include a chocolate brown fall wedding cake for $65, a gorgeous brown, ivory and blue swirl design that feeds 70 people for $150, and a beautiful orchid design that starts at $100.
