To me, there is nothing more glamorous than a delicate tea cup filled with jewelry. Paired with soft pink peonies or roses, the look is just darn pretty.

Of course you’ll need an equally fabulous vanity to hold these jems.

On this particularly gray day in Santa Barbara (its raining like crazy here, there’s even a water spout warning), I need some rich, saturated color, preferable in the form of a good, old-fashioned hard cover book.

They’re all  so pretty, I wish they were on my bookshelf right now.

And to go with them, how adorable are the mugs? I want to collect them all!

I’m loving this sassy gold heels by Alexander McQueen. Available here.

Pretty, perfect, peachy Louboutins? What could be better? Photo by Tanja Lippert.

Doesn’t this salad make you want to dive right in? And that’s saying something for a salad. And the aqua plate? I’ll take 6.

I love this garden trough bursting with with white flowers and springs of lavender. So dreamy.

I love this collection of watering can centerpieces. How darling would these be an early spring garden wedding?

Introducing… Pretty Posey! Every month, on the second Wednesday, I’ll be posting a bouquet I created. I have a passion for flowers and hopefully I’ll provide some inspiration for my readers along the way. Enjoy!

For the color palette, I chose  a soft blue with a purplish tone, against a background of white and hints of coppery green. I used Muscari and Blue Thistle because they have a similar shape, but completely different textures.

I used Paperwhites (love the tiny delicate blossoms) and Hellebourus for the white tones.

To complete the look, I used Berzilia Baubles to add a bit of texture, I love their slightly coppery color.

And of course, Ms. Mira, supervised the photo shoot.

Photos, styling, and bouquet by me.

And speaking of bows and Kate Spade, how cute are these black pumps? I love the two patent leather bow against the black suede. Trés chic! Available here.

I picked these Kate Spade sparkly gold shoes a few months ago and then I found them featured in a real wedding photographed by Jasmine Star. I still love those bows!

The inspiration for this board was this beautiful shot of spools of thread by Dasha Wright. I love the shades of light and dark pink next to each other. I picture this wedding taking place in the peak of summer, cold strawberry beverages would be served to guests and a refreshing pink sorbet would be the perfect palate cleanser after a BBQ themed dinner. Dahlias in shades of dark and light pink would grace the tables and would add bit of modern touch with their structured blooms.

I’ve been obsessed with this photo for almost two years now. I love the saturated colors of the rock candy against that soft blue backdrop and the angle at which the photo was taken. Divine. Photo by Gemma Comas.

How perfectly modern and chic are these colorful cake stands? By Iacoli & Mcallister, they come in variety of shapes, sizes, and colors.

I’m particularly enamored with this cake stand that looks like a candle holder. The bright red lacquer finish keeps the look modern.

And anything aqua these days, I’m totally obsessed with. I would love to use these for a bright, playful wedding. You can see more of the cake stands right here.

I’m loving the delicate tulle detail on these Dolce & Gabbana shoes. It really makes these black shoes seem very delicate and very appropriate for a bride. Available here.

So cute! Sassy, little, slingbacks with an adorable bow to boot. Photo by Kate Headley.

Happy 2010 everyone! To kick things off, I though a suitably glamorous board would do the trick. For inspiration I used this lovely vignette above. Its so glamorous, chic and the feather caplet is so amazing, I just had to do an inspiration board based on it. I picture this wedding taking place at an elegant and historic venue. The color palette would have touches of mint, pink and metallic would pop against a creamy white.The bride would be uber fashion conscious with a couture gown and the groom would wear tails. Guests, would be served champagne cocktails and sport fabulous hats and gloves.
