It's that time again folks! We have a new guest blogger, Noaki of Noaki Jewelry. If you aren't familiar with Noaki and her amazing work, it's time for you to be formally introduced. Her jewelry is to die for! You can also check her out on Etsy! But first, let's get to know a little more about Noaki!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their kind words and prayers to my family and myself. It's been a really tough week and all of your good energy has helped to get me through. A big thank you to Kari and Amanda, you two are a treat and I am glad to know you. Thank you so much for the care package! You'll never know just how much that meant to me. I'd also like to say to Danny, I love you to pieces! Thank you for being there for me in your own way! Last but certainly not least, thank you Giovanni. I heart you! I could never get through this with out you. You're the best!

Hi Everybody,

As you all know Kenya is my right hand "man". We have known each other for a long time and when I started this business venture she was there pushing me through and later joining my dream. I was shocked to hear yesterday that her grandfather had passed away. I received the call yesterday evening and I was to deliver the sad sad news. I did not know what to do, what to say, how to act. I was not going through this but to deliver the news was hard because she is so close to me. I do not know how it feels but seeing her yesterday tore my heart. I wanted to let everybody know because we need to send prayers to Kenya and her Family in this sad time. I know Kenya and she will get through this, but sending her well wishes will help with the healing.

Thanks,
Giovanni

Do you know what kind of dress is best for your body shape? B/c, to be completely honest, I haven't a clue! iVillage asked fashion designer and Project Runway alum, Austin Scarlett! You know he knows, he designs for Kenneth Pool!!! Amazing! I digress...let's see what he had to say!

I saw the cutest thing on Blush today. It a survival kit for you lips!!! I mean ya don't wanna have chapped lips on your wedding day right! Well this kit has organic lip balm in a variety of flavors like Pepperminty! (Yes that is really what it's called, lol) And best of all you can make sure you and your best girls all have the softest lips and fresh breath on your big day! Very important! It makes a great gift idea. I would love it! Although I'm pretty sure a certain BFF of mine would end of taking them! LOL

At every consultation we do, we always ask "So how did you propose?" I love hearing proposal stories. They are usually very sweet and creative. Well I found a wedding proposal that completely blew my mind when I read it online. He rented out a movie theater and invited 160 of their closest friends and family to witness it. He made sure they got there a little late so that them movie trailers started and to prevent her from noticing any one in the crowd. Well, the unsuspecting bride-to-be, noticed that one of trailers reminded her a lot of their relationship. That's because the groom-to-be created a movie trailer that was a proposal! So in the last few seconds of the trailer the big question was asked! Can you say stunned!!!! Needless to say, she said yes!!! That was a cool way to propose!

Here is the actual trailer he created. Note, the bride has a fear of planes and the "Life flashing before your eyes" scenes are true events portrayed by actors! Talk about big budget!!!



The guy at the very end is the groom!! AWWWWWW....*Tear* How sweet!

Tell us your proposal stories! Did he get down on one knee? Was it in a romantic location? Tell us what made you say yes!

I don't know about you guys but, I'm a big fan of {unique} wedding or party favors! It's never that exciting to me to go to a wedding and get chocolate covered almonds. Although that could be my strong dislike of all things chocolate! Anyway, while at Yankee Candle this past weekend I found that they have candles you can personalize for any event! I love candles, so getting that as a favor would make me a happy girl! Here's what I found...

Take a look at these beautiful flowers! At first glance, that is exactly what they look like, beautiful flowers. But would you believe me if I told you these were made of clay? I kid you not! When I saw Amanda's post last week about these very realistic flowers, I was like, Huh? Blogger say what? I showed the picture to my friend Krissy and she was like " there is no possible way that is clay! That's amazing!" That's some serious talent!!! And you don't have to worry about them dying!











Go check out the Blissful Bride Blog and read more about these creations! I give them 2 thumbs up! Thanks for sharing Amanda!

Remember Kari? (that's her and her fiance in the little circle). She was asked by Wishpot Wedding Blog to do a guest post. She did a wonderful job writing about how to pull of "Antique Chic" and provided a few stylish ideas to achieve the look. Check out the blog post here.

Great Job Kari! Now you have to do a guest post for us! = )
