Maybe this is a bad idea. Maybe it will make your jitters even worse. BUT, everybody needs their morning coffee, and THIS is a very important morning. I think the coffees with “maid of honor” or “groom” sharpied on the side are just adorable. Plus, every moment of this day should be fun, even getting ready with your best friends beforehand. Let Starbucks know its a special day, and sip up that caffeine because today is going to be one long party. ♥Emily

Details are everything, especially when it comes to a wedding. It is hard, especially these days to plan and execute a unique wedding that is completely your own. So, when looking for ideas why not consider wood? It’a sturdy, decorative and can be used for a multitude of things from place cards to centerpieces. It can give your wedding a natural, organic and down to earth feeling. I have seen wood used in many different ways and I happen to think it is the perfect wedding day accessory! XOXO-Samantha

Are you and your man both movie people? Is that your thing? Well, I have heard movie theater themed weddings are fantastic. Not to mention, original. I’m not talking Scary-Movie-4-sticky-floors-$8-popcorn theater. I’m thinking antique theater- classy and romantic. Sometimes, old cinemas are even willing to rent out their venue for weddings. Appetizer hour by the ticket booth with original popcorn machines, candy and drinks. Dinner inside the theater in the shadow of the grand old screen that once played Gone With the Wind or Snow White. Tell everyone to dress like they’re attending a premiere and let your love be theatrical. ♥Emily

One of 2013’s growing trends is the blush wedding gown. I am not one to make decisions based on trends, but I really do love this one. Gowns dusted blush feel romantic and feminine. I think the color warms everyone up too, no matter their skin tone. In 2011, one of my favorite hollywood ladies, Reese Witherspoon, wore a blush gown for her own wedding. It set her apart and was called an elegant, classy decision. Perhaps you’ll consider this gown choice for your own wedding. ♥Emily

The summer months have begun and so have the weddings! There are certain items that are synonymous to summer, one being gingham. The perfectly planned pattern screams Summer to me and can be used in so many areas of your wedding without being overdone. A table runner, a bow tie, your grooms shirt or an accessory to your bouquet, gingham can be used just about anywhere. It is becoming more and more popular throughout the years and I can’t say I hate it. XOXO-Samantha

Cakes are celebratory, but lets face it- not everyone is a cake person. They are pretty, but so are cupcakes or macarons. Why make merry over cake if your favorite is pie? Every couple gets to choose which entree they like best, so you should be able to eat your choice dessert as well. The options are endless and deliciously enjoyable, and whatever option you decide on can of course be prettified. Follow tradition and break it all at once by feeding each other your favorite treat. ♥Emily

Happy Hump Day my NWGlamers! Today I bring you a little something to brighten up your week…fireworks! They are bright, colorful and magical, just like your wedding day should be. Although fireworks aren’t the most cost friendly wedding accessory, they are definitely an eye catching one! As the night is winding down, your guests are starting to leave, surprise them all with one more show. Now, not every venue will allow for fireworks, so be sure to check before you get your heart set on them. But if the venue allows and so does your wallet….say yes to fireworks! XOXO-Samantha

Did you know that white was not a popular wedding gown color until the wedding of Queen Elizabeth in 1840? Before her wedding brides wore whatever color they felt comfortable in. Since then, it became a case of “everybody’s doing it” and the color stuck. Today, it is in typical wedding day fashion to let the bride be the only one to lack color, but what if it wasn’t? What if the groom also wore whimsical white? After all it is his day too, let him shine right along with you! XOXO-Samantha

As many of you have probably seen or heard, The Great Gatsby has been recreated and reentered theaters. This was very exciting to me because it happens to be one of my favorite books for its effortlessly poetic prose. So in honor of this, a few words from Fitzgerald. If I were you, engaged and waiting on a wedding, I would want to just float around on my own little cloud of sweet daydreams. Unfortunately, that is not always possible, but I am offering you that cloud right now… “I love her, and that is the beginning and end of everything.” Please, go ahead and be swept off your feet by that poetic cloud of romance. What I am trying to say is there is no better time to enjoy being in love. So do not let this phase slip away in a stressful frenzy. One more thing. “They slipped
