The 46th Superbowl is taking place on February 5, 2012 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN with the New England Patriots taking on the New York Giants. We found some great ideas to use if you’re hosting a football or Superbowl party at your home. Just because the sport has been traditionally male dominated doesn’t mean you can’t put a creative and festive twist on a Superbowl party! {Cake Pop Basket, Patriots Cookies, Giants Invite, Ticket Invitations} We are totally digging the idea of football themed snacks! They’re fairly easy to make, and great... 

Valentino’s 2012 spring collection is ladylike and fresh! From floral prints to lace and cutout patterns, the 2012 spring collection was about being in a state of mind where dreams are possible. The designers paired the fancy designs with flat sandals and lace espadrilles to emphasize the ready-to-wear aspect of the collection. Although most dresses are classically beautiful, many have daring details such as peek-a-boo lace and see through fabrics. For more pictures of the Valentino spring 2012 collection, visit Style.com.

In the midst of all the craziness with rebranding our site, we wanted to take some time to inspire you with decadence. As we’ve mentioned before, “vintage chic” or “rustic chic” has become a little over-saturated and cliched as far as wedding themes go. So let’s go back to our childhood roots, where we dreamed about platinum weddings full of diamonds, romance, and everything that money could buy! Well, those were our childhood dreams haha {Invitations, Bouquet, Cake Topper, Bridesmaid Dress, Swarovski Crystal Heels, Bridal Gown, Cake,...

The 69th Annual Golden Globes was full of best dressed stars! We could not get over how stunning all the actors and actresses looked that night. The Golden Globes is an awesome fashion show where beautiful celebrities wear ah-mazing gowns and jewels. This year, our fave celebs wore some showstoppers–from Vera Wang to Zac Posen. It seemed like there was no overall trend to what the stars were wearing at the Golden Globes–we saw bright reds, and fuschias, classic black and white gowns, and romantic pinks/nudes.  It’s always fun to see the new red carpet trends...

One of Wedding Elegance’s favorite features to create at receptions is the candy/dessert table! Couples love seeing the fun, whimsical, and delicious dessert table at their wedding, while guests fill up their goodie bags with assorted candies and baked goods. It’s a fabulous addition to receptions and something guests always flock to at the end of the night (especially if you have kids attending). We love designing and putting together cake/dessert tables, and highly encourage having one at weddings or at any social gathering. Here are some great examples of how...
