If you want to look like a million bucks on your wedding day, rent a couture bag here.  Prices start at $59.95 for an annual membership, which lets you keep bags as long as you desire, plus an extra $20 per month for each rental.  If your not a member, you can still rent a bag for a slightly higher fee.  Check out the wedding shop.  It has a section of silk and leather designer clutches (Vera Wang, Gucci)

100 Best Websites: KarenSmallBone.com

We've found the prettiest favor packaging on this ultrastylish Canadian site- everything from watchmaker's cases to sleek plastic "candy tubes," and customized labels and ribbons to finish it off.  Most packaging can be had in the very reasonable less-than-$2 range.

We also love the delicious cotton candy flavor lollipops in a gorgeous old-fashioned hand pulled candy. White, red, and aqua are the main colours for this fun flavour. Includes an aqua bow in satin ribbon.

100 Best Websites: FancyFlours.com


MB's reception editors give this bakers' supply site a definitive thumbs-up for its array of unique vintage toppers.  The imaginative inventory includes everything from a Kewpie-doll couple to a glorious '60s-era plastic bride and groom - and prices on some of these gem start at a mere $10.

Along with these great cake toppers, they also have some adorable cookie and cake embellishments. If you are into cupcakes, you should definitely check out their adorable wrappers. They are very stylish!

This site is like walking into a Party City, but online. Browsing from home makes it super convenient to shop for your next party. We couldn't help by highlight these awesome "etch-it party cups." I don't know how many times I have been to a kids party or family get together where we are using a black marker to write on the cups. This solved a much needed problem and they made it fun!

This specialty site, recommended by MB's accessories editor, makes it easy to find wedding-appropriate footwear: It's entierly stocked with white and metallic shoes, from satin stilettos to beaded flip-flops. But you'll also find other nuptial gear - evening bags, cake toppers and jewelry - as well.

Nothing makes blogging more fun then to be able to talk about great shoes on a Friday! The thing I love about this site is their wide variety of brand names, as well as the additional accessories. A lot of the time, brides will come to me asking me for a good website or store to shoe shop and this site will be a great link for me to pass along.

This site's wide variety of style options makes it our hands-down favorite for unique aisle runners. You can find sleek and simple ones in every color scheme, from $135, or monogrammed or painted options, from $350.

I just love these aisle runners because they bring so much life to a standard aisle.  This is another great aspect where we can tie in a custom monogram or I really like the idea of using a famous quote.  Too cute!

100 Best Websites: WonderfulGraffitiWedding.com

www.WonderfulGraffitiWedding.com

This website absolutely excites me because my graphic design background all began when I got a fluke job in sales at a local sign shop. I knew nothing about design and nothing about vinyl graphics, but I learned quickly. Through this job, I also learned my true passion in life was being creative and this was an outlet for me to showcase my creative talent. I spent the next few years designing and cutting vinyl on a daily basis while learning design and marketing in school. And now, I combine my graphic design talents with event planning to create stunning visual pieces including monograms.

Wedding Graffiti takes my first job and combines it with my current career to make these amazing vinyl decals for your event. For a unique monogram, quotation or motif custom-designed for your wedding, visit this site, which will also print the icon onto a removable film that you can adhere to a wall, a dance floor or anywhere else you want to make a statement on your wedding day.

100 Best Websites: PamelasParasols.com

Picture 1

www.PamelasParasols.com
Keep guests cool at your outdoor wedding with gorgeous adorned parasols from this specialized site. Order a few dozen simple rice-paper parasols for your crowd (starting at $6.50 each for a large order), or choose a more luxe hand-beaded, monogrammed or marabou-trimmed one for your self. (Modern Bride, pg 174)

Idea: Instead of having bridesmaid carry flowers, parasols would be an adorable way to make a statement and bring in a unique element to your beautiful day. You can even attach a few stunning flowers to the parasol or the handles to give it an added flair.

Modern Bride magazine came out with an article about the top 100 websites of their choice. I thought this would be a great opportunity for the next 100 days. We will choose one of their recommended link (not in random order) and showcase a product or products that we love from each vendor.
Today we will start with http://www.tinseltrading.com/

Ok Martha Stewart said it best "My favorite store in all of the world." This site is so awesome. It's very modern meets vintage / old world glam embellishments, trim, crafting supplies, and accessories. I have to say my favorite item on this site (besides the cool paper) is the fun selection of handmade teeny tiny paper flowers and leaf collection.
