Good morning, lovelies! We hope your weekend was oh-so-fabulous, and you are now ready for another week. So, you may not be “ready” to get going on this Monday morning, but we’ve got something that will help you start the week just right. Beautiful details which have us totally speechless. Okay, so now that our mouths have finally shut after our “wow” moment, we can share what all the hype is all about. We are excited about the amazing and jaw-dropping gorgeous wedding decor, all courtesy of Blueprint Studios. We are in L-O-V-E with the stunning designs that they offer. Just breathtaking. When we laid eyes on all the beautiful furniture, we had a hard time choosing our favorite. Each one, whether it is a lovely table, or a elegant lounge chair, has it’s own awe-inspiring detail. We are so impressed with it all! These gorgeous pieces just screams elegance and luxury. It not everyday that we are immersed with all this grandeur.  We have to admit, we kind of want to crawl through the computer and just sit at one of the grand tables, or relax in one of the charming sofas. That is why we think your Monday can brighten up with the lavishing details which are found in each and every image below. Start your Monday right, and take a look at all the exquisite details.

Girari’s signature glass table is the Penta.  There is no other table in the event industry like the Penta. What is so amazing is that this table seats ten, and has a “table within a table”. The seating is designed so couples can sit together, with table legs spaced for comfort.

BHL Vendor Hot Pick: Found Vintage Rentals

bridal-hot-list-vendor-hot-pickI know sometimes when Monday’s roll around, it is really hard to get going and start the week off. I mean, you have to say goodbye to the weekend, and hello to a work week. But when you have a fabulous new vendor added to our “Vendor Hot Picks”, Monday just became my favorite day of the week. I am talking about a vendor who seriously knows how to impress. One that has me swooning over all the amazing details they have to offer. All courtesy of Found Vintage Rentals. I had the pleasure of visiting the fantastic warehouse where all the magical genius happens. I was so enraptured by all the charming and inspiring details, I could not turn my eyes away.  I did not want to miss one single item. But I know I did…there was THAT many fabulous things that had my vintage loving heart swooning the whole time. I have to admit…I kind of wanted to sneak and hide behind one of the lovely couches and live there. If I could. Yep, that is how much I am in love with Found Vintage Rentals.

I have always been a huge fan of vintage, but after today, I will forever be a fan of Found Vintage Rentals.  Oh, you will see why in a second when you browse through all the gorgeousness.
