Wedding Inspiration | Wedding Day Perfume

Our sense of smell easily takes us back in time to an event we cherished or a fond memory. Picking out a new perfume to begin wearing on your wedding day, honeymoon and anniversaries is a wonderful way to be taken back to those moments you hold near and dear to your heart. Your wedding day "look" won't be complete without the most perfect fragrance! As an added bonus, pretty, perfume bottles make for beautiful photo accessories.

Wedding Terms | Minaudiere

Ever wonder where we get some names for objects we love, let alone where it came from and how to promounce it? I am a great lover of small clutch bags that are encrusted with jewels, beads, shells, you name it - I love it! The correct name for these beauties - no it is not small clutch bag! - is Minaudiere. This French word means "A small ornamental case used to carry cosmetics, jewelry or other personal items." The word is pronounced mee-noh-dyair and is perfect for a Bride and her Maids to carry their Weddding Day essentials.

Here is a sampling of what you will find:
