party cardis!

What to wear to a fall wedding? The ceremony is outside during the day, the reception is inside in the evening. I think a fancy cardigan might be in order! I picked these combos out, but there are so many to choose from. Mod Cloth, Anthropologie, and J. Crew are all great places to start.

ruffle department

I like the way The English Dept. deals with ruffles, understated and still very feminine.

Stay dry today all you fellow East Coasters! Batten down the hatches and hang to the riggin'!

Q&A: Our reception venue is quite dark, but we are not allowed to use candles. Can you suggest some alternatives for lighting up the room?

Last weekend we used battery operate candles, available from Cox and Cox , they were effective and lasted all afternoon and evening.

You could also use fairy lights to create a romantic atmosphere. They are easy to get hold of and not expensive, try wrapping them around bay trees, archways, banisters, in clear vases or look for blossom style ones like these from Debenhams or Laura Ashley.
