We’ve stumbled upon a few really great feather DIY crafts lately so thought we’d browse around for the best supplies to make some feathery goodness of our own. We decided to seek out materials to make feather boutonnieres like these:

Thanks to A Beautiful Mess for the inspiration!

So during our search, we found a place in midtown called Feather Place. If you love feathers, you really need to check this place out. They have everything you could ever imagine! Including these peacock stunners:

Once you’ve found the perfect combination of feathers, pop down Sixth Avenue to one of the bead stores like Toho Shoji to pick up some details that will finish your boutonniere. We were loving these resin pearls that come in every color imaginable!

Arrange the feathers and beading (you’ll need to string them on some fish wire first!) and then secure the ends with floral tape. Grab a floral pin to secure to your fiance’s lapel and voila! You’re done!

Send us pictures of your DIY creations for a chance to be featured on our blog.

We have been a fan of this cocktail dress since it hit our store earlier this year.  How excited were we when it popped up in this months Get Married Magazine!  We know brides are constantly looking for a bridesmaid dress that their ladies can wear again and this is definitely it.  You don’t need to be a bridesmaid to get your hands on this gorgeously draped dress.  A night out with your siggie, fashion week cocktail party or summer wedding, this dress knows no boundaries.

Thanks to our consultant Erica we have had the chance to get a sneak peek into the new Enzoani Collection! We here at the salon are so excited to see these images  and can’t wait to have some of these designs here for our future brides.

The themes that stood out the most were  texture, beaded embelishments and color! The backdrop of  The California skies and Palm Trees seemed like the perfect setting for this fashion show. The colors were in some way mimicking the West Coast Sunset.

Enjoy.

Lately we’ve been experimenting with fun nail polish colors and love the idea of translating that over to your wedding day! You’ll notice we’re particularly into the sparkles! We also included a few great palettes from Refinery29 ‘s awesome collection of great, summer nail colors. Enjoy!

Perhaps your “something blue” can be some vibrant, blue nail polish from one of your bridesmaids. Wouldn’t these blue nails go perfectly with our Casablanca dress on a warm, summer day?

One of our favorite ways to get inspired is by visiting Colour Lovers. It’s an amazing site that compiles palettes and patterns based on lovely color combinations – it even allows you to create your own!

We’re loving the latest Wedding trend palette featured on the site. Perfect for a summer wedding!

Here are a few bridesmaid dresses that we have in our shop – these would all work perfectly with this beautiful color palette!

What are the colors of your wedding?

Left over sparklers from the Fourth of July? Check out this DIY for a fun way to customize your sparklers for a wedding or any backyard gathering!

Just follow these simple steps:

• Print your custom message or pattern onto a heavy stock – have fun with the shape of the stock and the design. This is a great way to customize the sparklers for your guests!
• Trim the stock into rectangles using an xacto knife and a ruler. Cut out small rectangles for the sparklers to slide through. For a finished look, you can round the edges with a hole puncher!
• Weave the sparklers through holes and then slide the card and sparklers into a glassine bag for a polished look.

Thanks Style Me Pretty for the inspiration – we can’t wait to try this one.

Summer is in full swing! And there’s nothing quite like a beautiful beach wedding to keep us inspired. And make us want to go on vacation!

Thanks to Green Wedding Shoes for the post and Sarah Yates for the photography!

Are you planning a destination or beach wedding? We’d love to see you in Love by Enzoani’s C1A in ivory with one of our fun, Sarah Gabriel hair pieces on the sandy beaches of Mexico!

Happy planning!
