Autumn Wedding Style

This Sunday marks the first day of fall, so let’s talk about fall wedding style, shall we?

This Australian farm wedding has it all for fall. A rustic, personalized cake, a dramatic venue, a lacy, but demure wedding dress, a bouquet of saturated colors and original textures, and that warm sunset lighting we love.

This one is hip and amazing! The bride’s glasses and lipstick look so cool with her floral wreath and sultry dress, and the color story is incredible.

A bold lip and sexy hair is always in season, but especially for fall, don’t you think?

And how good are these tweed details for bride, groom and attendants? So chic as an alternative or an addition to swishy, silky things.

Sometimes engagement shoots can be a little sugary and over the top, so we love the refined simplicity of this one. Work those stiletto pumps, lady!

Pumpkin centerpieces too twee for you? Don’t judge till you see these. White pumpkins are the perfect blend of minimal and adorable.

So how are you making the most of the crisp, lovely days of fall?

John Legend Marries Chrissy Teigen in Italy

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have tied the knot!

The Grammy-winner married at Villa Pizzo in Lake Como, Italy on Saturday, picking the spot because “they first fell in love” there.

Kanye West was there, guest Stevie Wonder performed with the groom and Biz Markie helped DJ.

The bride, 27, wore three Vera Wang dresses, yes three! For the ceremony, she chose an open back, V-neck ballgown. For the reception she wore an ivory strapless mermaid gown with a pleated bodice. And she after-partied in a red strapless mermaid gown with a hand-draped bodice and inverted flange skirt with crystal embroidery.

Her new husband serenaded her with his song All Of Me,’Which I wrote for her,” said Legend, 34. “I wrote most of the album about her.”

The song is featured on his latest album Love In The Future, which was released over a week ago, on Sept. 3.

We Love: Octavia Asscher Cut Diamonds & Strawberry Scones

The indulgent weekend. It doesn’t have to be anything too involved, but the rainy weather and fall busyness have us craving some coziness and luxury. So what do you have planned for the weekend ahead?

Going somewhere elegant? We loved this timeless and easy evening look. Simple hair, a boldly lined eye and a nude lip. Add the only Little Black Dress you’ll ever need. You’re perfect and you’re done.

Need a little more glamorous inspiration? Here’s Kate Middleton looking every bit the immaculate princess.

Staying home? Nothing says love like crumbly, fragrant Strawberry-Buttermilk Scones with your morning coffee.

Unless it’s an adorable proposal featuring our Naomi Engagement Ring and a stunning Octavia Asscher Cut diamond!

Set the mood with an exquisite scented candle, and let the magic begin.

If you have a little more ambition (and more of a budget to work with) Matthew Williamson’s wallpaper designs for Osbourne & Little are so luxe and amazing. We love the tiger print for a powder room or walk in closet.

And since nothing feels as good as making a difference in someone’s life, check out charity:water, a truly inspired way to care for people in need.

Have a spectacular weekend!

Rosh Hashanah Honey Cake & Brunch at home

Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall. ― F. Scott Fitzgerald

Shanah Tovah to all our friends and family celebrating Rosh Hashanah!

We love spending holidays at home with family, taking the time to make great food and great memories. And one tradition we love is hosting simple brunch at home.

How to do it right?

First, make the perfect Paloma. 

And drink it while cooking perfect scrambled eggs.

And serve this perfect lemon poppyseed bread.

Don’t forget to get dressed up like a fashion editor.

Just kidding!  A fancy manicure is enough to make things fun and festive. (And a definite must-have for any newly engaged woman.)

If you want to dress up your house a little, this Austin couple has some fun ideas. (We love the shag rugs, they seem so cozy and family friendly.)

And finally, some beautiful diversity to start the weekend (and the year) off right!

Seth Meyers Married Alexi Ashe

Saturday Night Live Weekend Update anchor Seth Meyers married his longtime girlfriend Alexi Ashe over the weekend, and how adorable are they? The wedding was held on Martha’s Vineyard where the bride’s parents have a home.

Jason Sudeikis, Allison Williams, Jimmy Fallon, Jack McBrayer, Kristen Wiig, Will Forte, Kenan Thompson, Fred Armisen, Ali LArter, Lorne Michaels, Rashida Jones, Andy Samberg and Amy Poehler all attended, so it must have been ridiculously fun.

The couple met at a wedding and dated for several years. They announced their engagement this summer, and Seth told People Magazine about the proposal.

“I tied [the engagement ring] in a bow around our dog’s collar,” the funnyman told People. But his now-wife came home a little later than expected.

“I just had to sit there looking at the dog. I was like, ‘The dog’s going to eat the ring!’ ”

We love Alexi’s short sleeved wedding dress, it’s subtly body conscious, yet fresh and demure. She looked absolutely perfect.

Cheers to the happy couple!

Labor Day Meaning

“To achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.” ― Gail Devers

As Americans, hard work is so central to our identity that we pay tribute, every year, to the achievements of our workers.

So here’s to a great year ahead, filled with liberty, justice and success for all Americans.

Happy Labor Day!

 

Wedding Inspiration: Bollywood, Indigo, Bohemian & More

Let’s savor the last weekend of the summer with a “summer sip that’s a little bit spicy and a little bit sweet.”

We’ve found so many epic wedding inspirations, we’re making a post of it. So just sit back and live vicariously through wedding ideas that exemplify pure style, joy and romance. We hope your weekend is beautiful!

The new BHLDN collection has some really chic, luxurious dresses. The intricate beading reminds us of some of our more sumptuous designs.

This Indigo-themed wedding inspiration is so fresh and beautiful. We love it.

This gold one we also love.

Here’s a real wedding we absolutely love. Every picture is just so full of joy and personality, it just doesn’t get any better. And the featured image above shows the incredible tree from the ceremony.

The headpieces and hair are a little silly, but this Bohemian wedding inspiration has the biggest, best bouquets. We’re in love!

And our favorite part of this Bollywood wedding inspiration is also the bouquet. We didn’t think jewels and flowers could be so perfect together.

Bright objects hypnotize the mind. But we already knew that.

Kelly Clarkson Eloping: Celebrity Trend Alert

This week, Kelly Clarkson announced plans to elope with fiancé Brandon Blackstock, canceling their October wedding just one day after telling Ryan Seacrest wedding planning was “overwhelming” and that she’s “so over” it.

We wrote about her engagement here, and her lovely, trendsetting halo engagement ring. A wedding is such a personal choice in every way, we hope that Kelly and Brandon declare their love in a way that feels perfect for them!

Clarkson isn’t the only celebrity to choose privacy and intimacy over a lavish celebration.

Some of our favorite celebrities opted for elopements, like Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, who eloped in a sunset ceremony at her Bahamian estate in April 2008.

Longtime loves Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos eloped in Las Vegas in 1996. Goop style maven Gwyneth Paltrow married Coldplay frontman Chris Martin in Santa Barbara, Calif., in December 2003. The surprise wedding didn’t include any family members.

And famously private couple Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart eloped in a surprise ceremony that included their son Liam, in Santa Fe in June of 2010.
So how do you feel about elopements? We think they can be exquisitely romantic, as long as you don’t cut corners on the ring!
