Thursdays are usually used to highlight a good thing from Martha… but I got mixed up in my days and my Thursday post published yesterday. No big deal… since I’m gonna continue with a “its all about you” post. The knot is launching its official Real Weddings Awards

As I was reading my daily blogs - while sipping tea of course, I came across an awesome post by Mimi of Enjoy Celebrations about a stunning wedding she coordinated last December. The Bride Erin, is Mimi’s friend and I knew I had to share their wedding with you.

The entire venue is exactly how I envisioned my dream wedding, the decorations and details are simply right on. Their wedding was photographed by the renown Leigh Miller, and its no understatement that she did a fabulous job capturing the essence. The pictures are jaw-dropping, just take a look for yourself!

Erin has great style and taste, but that’s because she’s Erin Cole, THE Erin Cole. Miss Peacock already posted about her beautiful accessories a while back. From what I understood Erin does everything in a stunning matter, shes got taste and her wedding was no exception.

I present you Erin and Michael’s December 1st wedding:

From beautiful floral arrangements to unique paper products, this wedding has it all. I love the unique wedding dress Erin wore the day of. Its a unique creation made by Rivini. I love the puff sleeves…and not to mention that she looks beautiful in it - no doubt!

Its obvious to say that lighting plays an important role in this event. The candle light and the chandeliers make the atmosphere even more romantic and the outcome is WOW!

I love the chandelier trees. The beautiful crystal mixed with something so organic like branches, is truly beautiful. So magical yet so glamorous, its something I wanted for my wedding.

and the necklace… I heart this necklace so much… I’m almost drooling over how pretty it is. That’s because I love over the top necklaces and if I had the budget for it, it would definitely be something I would consider.

If my wedding comes out to be a tenth of what this wedding looks like, I will be the happiest bride ever. I love everything pretty… and I want my wedding to be a wow factor! Is that so wrong? I hope I’m not the only one who has this as a criteria while I plan away!

For those interested in knowing the vendors of this event…

We all know of or have hear of the famous “Today” Throws a Martha Stewart Wedding contest. On October 5, 2007, Cody Helgeson, 22, and Jessica Mapel, 23 winners of the contest wed before millions of TV viewers in a lavish event planned by “Today,” Martha Stewart, and a team of Weddings editors.

I completely feel in love with the whole event, the details, the colors… simply everything. I thought I could highlight the oh-so fabulous wedding featured in the this winters Martha Stewart Weddings magazine.

A beautiful combination of pinks, salmon and Tiffany blue… perfect for the themed wedding. I absolutely adore the huge gems carved from ice glistened on the bar. Even the cab car pic is a classic. What a beautiful bride.

White-coated waiters served bite-size breakfast foods, like these miniature French toast. A breakfast themed reception… such a unique way to surprise your guest. Beautiful pale blue pearls were added to the brides bouquet for some extra glam, and not to mention the vintage brooches used to tie the beautiful silk ribbon.

Again, vintage stamps with a likeness of Audrey Hepburn. What about those out of town guest gifts: a DVD of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” a bottle of Sterling Vineyards wine (the couple’s favorite), a Martha Stewart Crafts photo album and label, Eleni’s cookies, and a box of Cracker Jack (a nod to the movie)… so perfect.

A+ I love this wedding. Vintage and so perfect!

I am happy to say that I have added a new category to the almost complete Glamour This! list. It is called Hollywood Weddings.I figured this would be a great place to feature celebrity weddings, and we all love celebrity weddings :). Today’s posts features the preview of the Sex in the City Movie wedding.

We don’t have many details about the upcoming movie, but here we can see that Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) has kept up her reputation as a fashionista. Whether the rumours of this being a dream on not, only Carrie with her unique sense of style could pull off a look like this.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think the dress flatters her figure, but I find the peacock feathers are a unique touch. The bridesmaid dresses worn by Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Samantha (Kim Cattrall) are also very interesting, but their bold colors definitely reflect their personalities… can’t wait to see more.
