This and That : a great collection of wedding items + special offers
Sweet Romance designs and manufactures wedding jewelry with an antiquarian flair. Their jewels are a top choice for brides who want their jewely to be as special as their gown. And, they are inviting readers of my blog to shop with them and receive a 10% discount on any purchase from their wedding web boutique by mentioning "Brenda's Wedding Blog" at checkout.
Giraffe at Home now offers ultra luxurious white bathrobes which are the perfect gift for a bride getting ready for her big day and to wear after the wedding. The bathrobes are available at Nordstrom.com (retail $198) and the silky satin robes have a soft plush lining and cinches at the waist with a comfortable tie.
Letterpress Designs is a vintage letterpress studio located on Union Square in New York City where everything is crafted by hand and printed one at a time. They work closely with their brides and grooms-to-be to create custom wedding invitation sets that reflect their style and theme. Letterpress Designs’ menus, programs and escort cards were the first letterpress cards to be featured on WeTV’s “My Fair Wedding” for their Zen Wedding episode which aired last month. And, I just love this - for brides who prefer to do it themselves, the Letterpress Designs Studio is unique and offers guidance in design, hand setting type and printing of the brides very own invitations and reply cards in one of their DIY Letterpress Wedding Invitation classes.
On a recent My Fair Wedding, wedding planner David Tutera said that every bride should do something to clear her mind a few days before the wedding. What better way to forget about wedding stress than to be a few thousand feet above it? With an introductory flying lesson, just about any bride can actually sit in the pilot’s seat and taxi, take off, and fly the airplane (of course, her co-pilot will be an FAA-certificated flight instructor). At the Let's Go Flying web site, you will find a wealth of information on learning to fly, and a database of more than 3,500 flight schools nationwide, most offering discounted introductory flights for around $99.
