Anne Hathaway Rocks....

I know there has been a lot of talk about the young actors who hosted the Oscars last night. But how do you think Anne Hathaway and James Franco did? For me, I thought Anne stole the show, well along with Kirk Douglas and the adorable PS22 kids! James Franco just didn't seem to be there, except for when he came out dressed in drag! I'm sure he was nervous, but he was just too stiff and uptight, which didn't seem normal for him. So besides the show what did you think about what everyone was wearing? What about the bridal looks?

Now that I posted that lovely Paris photo with the wonderful garden of Tulips that's all I've been thinking of! I haven't really been much of a garden person since high school, I was actually in the horticulture program and was part of the Philadelphia Flower Show with our school. You would think I would have more plants and flowers in front of our house! I really enjoyed it in high school, it's always nice being in classes where you're doing more than just sitting in a desk listening to the teacher talk.
OK...so I just went to the Philadelphia Flower Show website to get the link for you and the theme this year..."Springtime in Paris"...REALLY!! That's amazing, so does this mean I should really make sure we go to the Flower Show this year or should I be in Paris in the Springtime! The show is March 6-13 at the Philadelphia Convention Center....be there!
Girls’ Night Out at the Philadelphia Flower Show:
Thursday, March 10th
5:30 to 8:30 pm – shopping, food and wine sampling, beauty tips and free goodie bag plus live broadcast of QVC.
$40 Sponsored by RuePhiladelphia (Rue La La), and Philadelphia Style magazine
We went a few years ago when it was a New Orleans theme, best time ever! There was a New Orleans style band there that was amazing. And oh yes the flowers were gorgeous!
A Few Photos from that year....

Thank you so much for all of the love ladies. Still have a little bit of the sniffles but Im getting better. It was so nice here in the Northeast on Friday...70 degrees! My step daughters and I actually got to go for a nice walk in the park. But now they're calling for ice and snow again...can you believe it! So maybe we'll think of Spring and find inspiration for our weddings in flowers, romance, and bursts of color to get away from the winter blues! I just love this photo of the eiffel tower, it makes me dream of Paris in the Springtime...how lovely would that be!
Is there a city, beach, or town you just adore and would love to inspire your wedding details after? I really love New York City and the history in downtown Philadelphia. We were thinking of having soft pretzels at our wedding and actually picking them up on the day of...but it was just too much to bother with!
Find more city inspiration over at my wedding blog Wedding.Allwomenstalk...love the Paris and New York City inspiration board I put together from the Style Circle at StyleMePretty!

What a fantastic weekend! Friday we ordered chinese food, Saturday we had a wonderful visit from our best friends (my maid of honor, her husband and their beautiful daughter!), and today we roasted marshmellows and made Smores!
It's so nice to see their whole family together again. My best friend's husband just got back from Iraq a few weeks ago, God bless him and all of our troops. But it felt like the good old times hanging out, laughing, and telling stories. Their two year old daughter, who will be three at the end of this month, is just the cutest little girl! They just came back from Disney World and she loved showing us all of their photos and telling us about her favorite princesses and fairies. It seems like the fairies are more popular this year in Disney; they waited 40 minutes to see Tinkerbell and friends and only 5 minutes for the Cinderella, Belle, and the other princesses! We were going to do some scrapbooking but never got to it because we were playing a dice game called Farkle! Even their daughter loved playing this game!
Today was just a nice relaxing Sunday hanging around the house with my hubby and then we took a drive to the store for some marshmellows, chocolate, and graham crackers! Yum! Happy Valentine's Day Honey!
To wrap things up at Wedding.Allwomenstalk for the week here are some posts you may like:

Today is the big day over at 150 David's Bridal stores where brides on a budget will be lined up waiting to get their hands on the new Vera Wang White Collection!! Have you seen them yet, do you have a favorite? They are filled with tulle, lace, organza, and loads of layers. They are def Vera Wang style, some are very runway and offbeat but others are just simple and classic. There is a dress for every bride. Here are my to favorites.... I love the first one esp. with the one shoulder and fit and flare style! What fun would the pink gown be, turning heads and making a statement!
Are you going to be wearing a designer gown or do you wish these gowns were out when you were planning?
I hope every bride loves her dress and finds the one, no matter what price or what store you bought it from or what name is on the label. It's your dress, it's your big day and you're marrying the man you love and who loves you. No one can put money or a label on love.
Check out Wedding.Allwomenstalk for a sneek at the rest of the collection!
Happy Valentine's Day Weekend! <3

We have seen so many DIY wedding blogs and posts and we just fall in love with their creative skills and want to replicate the same projects for our own wedding. I remember seeing all of the beautiful card boxes and really wanting to make my own but wasn't sure I could pull it off. We did make a really nice card box, but it in no way looks like the three tiered, repainted, or recovered, stunning boxes I had seen! But it was our card box that we actually made together and that's what matter. But I do have to say I am mostly a NON-DIY bride. DIY projects can save money and it helps when you have family and friends to help you out. But I really didn't have too many people I wanted to ask and my MOH lived about 2 hours from me and was taking care of her 2 year old daughter while her husband was in Iraq. I really thought about DIY centerpieces but was so happy we ended up going with a florist! The only other project I put together was our invitations that I printed on our computer. The DIY kit from Michaels was really great, but it was the biggest stressful moment I had during our planning process and if we had to do it again I would buy our invitations from someone who would make them in full!
What were some of your NON-DIY bridal moments and some of your DIY projects you failed on?
Check out Wedding.Allwomenstalk. for some Etsy items that might be easier to buy for the NON-DIY bride!
We got lucky with this box because it was already beautiful and had the same flowers as our wedding!

Not much going on today, just feels like a slow day at the office (home!) lol. Maybe that's because the Pittsburgh Steelers put on a sad performance at the Super Bowl yesterday. Not a happy night at this household!
But the night before, Saturday, was a really great night catching up with friends and hanging out with work friends at my husband's work party...same place I used to work! They call it their "holiday" party because the actual holiday season is very busy and too busy to hold a party so now each year they hold it close to Valentine's Day. The tables were decorated with Valentine's Day vases with little hearts and each couple got a company mug filled with candy! So we pretty much considered this our Valentine's Day gift to each other, my husband bought me a new dress for the party and we stayed the night in a beautiful room at the hotel where the party was hosted. It felt really nice to have the night to ourselves and get out on the town without the kids (we love you!). We even went to the bar for a little after party with our friends!
So what are you doing for Valentine's Day? Would you ever consider a Valentine's Day Wedding? I think it would be a great time to look for DIY decorations and projects during this holiday, especially if your wedding colors are red or pink. I love these favors from TheFavourShoppe for a Sweet Vday Wedding!

The Super Bowl is this Sunday and here to celebrate our favorite football colors of the Pittsburgh Steelers I have created a few wedding inspiration boards of a black and yellow palette. The Steelers colors are black and gold, but the gold is more of a yellow, besides I love the way yellow pops against black, don't you! Here is my favorite board, City Chic.....created @ StyleMePretty
Enjoy your weekend!
