Co-host Jeni Maus of Found at Studio EMP and many other local vendors came together to give back to brides and treat them to a delightful evening filled with goody bags, hair and make-up makeovers,  live music and much more. Guests who attended were able to mix and mingle with hosting vendors to sample their great products while also getting tips and tricks for their upcoming wedding.

The aura at Studio EMP on Friday night was soft and elegant yet bubbling with excitement. Inviting Occasion Floral Design created amazing hanging centerpiece out of old romance novels and flowers. Denny White Music wowed guests as he soulfully played the piano. Soquel Winery kept the buzz of excitement going by providing their luscious wines and 24 Carrot Catering made sure everyone’s bellies were full of scrumptious food.

My mind and heart went aflutter, and I was absolutely smitten with the beauty and charm her designs so eloquently exuded from the page. Now, as a lover of all things pretty and girlie, I must say that I didn’t stand a chance when browsing through her collections. I am in 100 percent in love with these dresses!

As described on her site, Sara’s gorgeous designs show a deep desire for the romance and the simple decadence of a bygone era of femininity. Reigning from Portland, Ore., Sarah Seven has created vintage pieces that are unique but also modern at the same time.

Sarah has bridal, special occasion and ready to wear collections  that give you the perfected and intricate arrangement of blossoming ruffles, delicate fabrics and flowing layers. And staying true to her green roots, she uses natural fabrics, silk, wool, linens and cotton voile as well as recycled vintage fabrics. Enjoy!

If Sarah Seven’s designs haven’t made you fall in love already then her generous donations will. Sarah donates five percent of all sales to the following charities:

  • Three percent to Compassion to feed unsponsored children.
  • Two pefecent to International Justice Mission.  IJM is an organization that works to free the enslaved and to hold the slave owners accountable.

P.S. – Along from shopping directly on Sarah Seven’s Web site, you can also find her on Esty!

Now it is time to decide what to do with those locks you’ve got on your head. You’ll probably be spending a few more hours tossing your hair this way and that way deciding what will look best, so to help you with your hair-raising decision, we’ve compiled some lovely photos of bridal hairstyles you can surely say “I Do” to!

{Loosely Pinned Curls} Eva’s hair looks so romantic! Loose tendrils delicately frame her face while the rest of the her hair is pulled back into loosely placed curls.

{Radiant Waves} Miss Kate sure does know how to rock her hair down! For the bride that wants her hair to be flowing on her big day, this look of loose curls gets all giddy with excitement for the modern yet whimsical look it provides.

{Braids} Who said braids had to be for your school days? These beauties show how classic and charming a sophisticated braid can be for your wedding look.

{Chic Chignon} Amy Adams looks lovely in her super-chic chignon. For the ladies who would like their hair out of their face, this low and to- -the-side bun is picture perfect!

{Sleek Bun}Heidi is looking freshly fierce with this take on a classic and sleek bun high on her head. We love the detail of the hair wrapping around the base of the bun.

The one thing I hear most from my brides and grooms is how they want to get in shape before their big day. This is completely understandable since all eyes are on them! It is their moment in the spotlight and they want to look their best. I recently came across one of the best workouts out there and needed to share it with all my readers.

Between hiring personal trainers, bikram yoga, running, kick boxing, I have pretty much tried everything  but never saw results and quickly got bored of the same routine. Then I stumbled upon Orange Coast Crossfit after my friend Jen told me about it.  After just two months I had already seen a change both physically and mentally. I truly believe in their workout philosophy and method. I can guarantee it will get you in the best shape of your life and be a great growing experience for any engaged couple! There are Crossfit gyms all around the country, to find the closest one to you check out www.crossfit.com.
