Earlier today I posted a pink and silver wedding inspiration board, and now I have some new blog launches and special promos to share with you . . .
The blog for Amy of Amy Squires Photography {aka one of the Wedding Chicks} has a new look and feel. She wanted a softer look, but to still keep the same lovely romantic feeling. I'm loving the pink and grey.
Designs by Liat {known for her custom invitations at affordable prices} is offering my readers 10% off all orders with promo code BRIDE10 - be sure to check out her couture collection - it's lovely.
Additionally . . .
Linda & Harriett is having a sale - their gorgeous letterpress 2009 calendar is 25% off, while oversized flats and holiday notecards are 50% off.
Coren Moore has just launched their new blog {which will feature real weddings, company updates, as well as other fun wedding thoughts and ideas}
Just had to take a moment to send BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Jenny Orsini from Pampered Bride Weddings who had a baby boy last week. Sending much love to her and the family as they welcome the new bundle of joy into their lives. You can read more and see a pic of the new baby on Jenny's Blog. And, thank you Jenny for the wonderful write-up you recently posted after I featured your Real Wedding of Renee and Sean last week.

The show will take place from December 2nd thru the 4th at Bergdorf Goodman in the 7th floor Bridal Salon from 10am-6pm. At the trunk show, brides-to-be will once again have the opportunity to purchase any one of the thirteen gowns, which will not be available in any other stores.
eLuxury's Fall Sale
eLuxury is currently having a Fall Sale with up to 40% off in savings, and you can also receive free ground shipping for any purchases made before December 15th.
eLuxury's New Handbag Collection
eLuxury has just introduced a new collection of Louis Vuitton luxury travel handbags, the Louis Vuitton Damier Neverfull. While on the high end of the price scale, these would make for a lovely honeymoon accessory. Maybe the wedding party could each go in on the purchase and surprise the bride with a handbag? You could even fill it with some essential items for a complete gift. You can see the bags here, here and here.
Just a reminder that there is only a few days left to enter our October wedding contests at Best Wedding Sites which includes a custom wedding logo from Marry Monograms™ with color. With Halloween being only a few days away, I just had to showcase the pumpkin above that a recent bride used at her wedding. The monogram was created by Holly from Marry Monograms™.
Marry Monograms™ can be used on invitations, programs, favors, gobo spotlights, wine bottles and anything a bride can dream of to enhance the wedding theme. The ideas for using a wedding logo are endless.
Also, this month, you can win a pair of jeweled bridal shoes and personalized wedding napkins for the bridal shower or reception. And, don't forget to enter our blog giveaway that started yesterday.
