kennedy-blue-header2

We are very excited to share with you that Wedding Shoppe, Inc. is launching Kennedy Blue, a new line of high-quality, figure-flattering, wear again bridesmaid dresses that can make the transition from wedding to workday to night on the town with ease. Kennedy Blue consists of 19 different dresses, each designed with quality, price, and wear-again style in mind. The bridal party dresses are made of high quality Victorian satin and chiffon, and are available in up to15 colors to suit all weddings. Kennedy Blue prices range from just $155 to $200, unlike similar styles which retail for around $250 to $300. The great thing about them is that you can try any dress in any size (2-28) and color right in their retail store in Saint Paul, MN, or if you’re not local, you can order a sample dress to try on at home for only $1 and they will send you the dress, color swatches, product details and a prepaid return shipping label, so you can shop for the perfect bridesmaid dress with ease and no stress.

Real Engagement :: Cherry Blossoms vs. Urban Architecture

With our recent Issue No.21, we celebrate organic love between two people who are about to be joined as one. Angie and James complement each other perfectly – her sweet, laidback demeanor balanced by his calm and caring nature. The juxtaposition of the soft cherry blossoms backdrop and the clean urban architecture in their engagement session by Jinda Photography turns out beautiful! I love the subtle pastel hues on these images! Gorgeous!

Organic Love :: Issue No. 21 is Here!

issue21_cover_big-copy

April is Earth month, and we dedicate this issue to honor and celebrate the gifts of nature in our wedding celebrations as well as our lives. From small details like feathers, sticks and stones, to a full-scale sustainable wedding using centuries-old, natural materials like corn husk and palm fronds, this issue is filled with nature-loving ideas that will inspire you to be more creative and resourceful in planning an eco-conscious wedding.

This issue is not only about green weddings, but also a celebration of organic love between two people who are about to be joined as one. We are thrilled to be the first to share the playful but stylish engagement session between Amanda of 100 Layer Cake and her soon-to-be-husband Tim. Their love for each other is undeniable and oh-so-natural.

We hope you enjoy this issue and feel inspired to give back to nature.

xoxo,
Henny & Lucia
