Favorite Posts from 2010

This has been a wonderful year for Aisle with Style. I added an author (the lovely, Jannah), doubled the number of posts from 2009 and twice as many of you tuned in every week. Thank you faithful readers! It's so great to know I'm not writing just because I like to hear my own voice (or however that translates over cyberspace!).


Here are 10 of my favorite posts from 2010:


Spring Programs

Pocket Bridesmaid Dresses

I'm so excited for what's to come in 2011; I hope you are too!


Happy Planning!

Not Your Mother's Veil

These accessories will turn heads as you walk down the aisle. You don't have to follow veil rules (you know...shoulder. elbow. fingertip. waltz. chapel. cathedral.). Actually, I'm telling you to break the rules! If you're looking for a veil, headpiece or hat that would not have adorned your mother's head check these out.

Etsy Wedding Review: October Edition & Giveaway

Birds of a Feather

I really detest live birds. I think they're dirty and usually have bad attitudes! But oh how I love feathers, nests and birds when it comes to decor. My own personal home reflects this love. I've done some digging on Etsy this month and have uncovered really fabulous finds for your special day. I even found a fabric bouquet with feathers that is to die for. I want to buy it now and save it for my own wedding someday. (No, I won't actually do it....i understand that would be creepy.)

In addition to listing great finds this month, I've teamed up with Molly from Bobbi Jordan, for a fantastic jewelry giveaway! Bobbi Jordan is a noteworthy Etsy shop that I originally featured here. Continue reading for Giveaway details...

StudioThisIs: Mathieu & Taylor

There are always amazing pictures coming out of StudioThisIs, but I can't say I've ever seen any this incredible. The sky. The bride's little hat. Doesn't it feel couture? There are 2 posts to check out on Overexposed (here & here) and don't forget to swoon over the bridesmaids' dresses!

Are you drooling yet?

Real Weddings: Southern Chic

You all know I have a thing for birdcage veils, but that's not why I'm sharing such a sweet photo. This Southern wedding is both modern and charming. I love the guys' seersucker suits and the bride's twist on the guest book. Head on over to Southern Weddings Magazine to check out all the fantastic details.

Veils and Barns

Here's a great wedding to start your week off!

I love Birdcage veils and receptions set in old barns. This wedding featured on Grey Likes Weddings happens to have both!



Enjoy!

Birdcage Veils: My Obsession.

I’m obsessed with birdcage veils! I've even been dreaming of them lately. Most recently, I dreamt that I not only wore a birdcage veil for the ceremony, but changed into a very chic navy blue hat/veil combination for the get-away moment…something like this:

Forget dreaming about the beau, dream about the veil!

This veil has long been my inspiration and will continue to inspire me:

To me, a birdcage veil is flirty, feminine, and so very fun! If you’re in the market for a great birdcage veil try these sites:

1. Kasia Fink Veils

5. Hats by Leko
