I know this probably sounds strange, but I have thought extensively about the morning of my wedding. As in, enough to write three separate blog posts about it. As in, my friends and family are probably sick of hearing me discuss it. Why, you ask? Good question.

I am a firm believer that the morning of your wedding sets the tone for the way the rest of the day unfolds. Are you rushing around like a chicken with your head cut off, snapping instructions at your ‘maids while frantically trying to organize escort cards and simultaneously write a loving pre-ceremony note to your fiance? Yikes, just typing that sentence gives me the hives.

How about this instead: You wake up refreshed after a good night’s sleep. You pull on something lovely and comfortable, and turn on a pre-made playlist that makes you feel calm, happy, and excited. You eat a good breakfast. You actually chat and laugh with your friends as you get your hair and makeup prettified, because you know that every “to do” has been done (and if they haven’t been crossed off at this point, they’ve been nixed entirely!).

This lovely dream of a morning is possible friends; it just takes some advance planning. Today, let’s start with what you’ll be wearing. A small detail? Yes, but one that can really put you in the right frame of mind. And we can’t think of anything more lovely to do that than a special treat from Castelbel & Trumpet, the new line from Plum Pretty Sugar.

Yes, you could wear some comfy sweats the morning of your wedding, and it’s totally fine if you go that route! But we happen to adore the beautiful prints and colors of Plum Pretty Sugar robes, and love how they look in photographs. Also, I love the idea of buying something special for the morning of your wedding, and then being reminded of that beautiful day every time you put it on for years to come.

We’re particularly enamored with Plum Pretty Sugar’s new collection, Castelbel & Trumpet. These lovely pieces were a year in the making, and were created specifically to highlight a woman’s features. With such thoughtful attention to detail, these are truly heirloom designs! You can see all of them right here.

Tell me, ladies: How are you preparing for a joyous, calm wedding morning? Or if you’re already married, what made a difference on the morning of your wedding? Comment and let me know!

I couldn’t agree more – having something pretty, dainty, comfy, and womanly to wear the morning of my wedding is a high priority! I can’t wait to receive my order! Love love love!

    I am not sure you can have a perfectly calm wedding morning! I look forward to spending that morning with my closest girl friends, having a lovely morning breakfast and spending the morning laughing and praying with one another. Lord knows you can’t get any calmer than enjoying memories and laughs with your closest friends!

    Mike’s work is incredible! He did the cinematography for my dear friend’s wedding in October and the video moves me to tears every time! So glad he’s joined the Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory!

Sponsored Post: EraGem

by in Main, Sponsor Love on

As y’all probably already know (especially if you read this post!), estate diamonds and passed-down engagement rings are fairly common here in the South. Alas, not all of us are lucky enough to have precious heirloom baubles already in our families, which is why we love today’s sponsor, EraGem Estate Jewelry! If you’re hoping that your ring might one day become a family heirloom, it makes perfect sense to search for “the one” among vintage engagement rings, and EraGem has plenty of gorgeous options from which to choose.

I love that antique engagement rings already come with a story. Doesn’t that seem so Southern? I think there’s something really beautiful about wearing a ring that both symbolizes your future and has so much history.

I ALSO love these gorgeous colored numbers! EraGem’s selection of sapphire engagement rings is stunning, and if you’ve ever wanted to make like Kate, this would be the place to start your search.

Besides beautiful rings, EraGem has the back-end details down to a science, too: free shipping, and a full 60-day money back guarantee. Additionally, something that would set my mind at ease is that all of the photos on their site (and in this post) were taken by the owners, Michael and Weston, and are of the actual items for sale. They are also great with customer service via phone or email!

What do you think, ladies? Would you wear a vintage engagement ring? Is your engagement ring vintage?

    I would definitely wear a vintage ring! Receiving a gorgeous ring with so much history and meaning behind it would be awesome. Besides who wouldn’t want that amazing 4 carat yellow diamond engagement ring above??!!

    • avatar Emily reply

      Um, yes, no kidding!! Though I am a bit partial to the pink one… :)

      Emily: Hi, This has nothing to do with this string, but I have a question about another piece you wrote titled: V4 Feature :: Polo Shoot

      I LOVE LOVE LOVE those bridesmaid dresses and I’m glad that you put the skirts as being Anne M Cramer, but what about the tops? I can’t find them. Any clue? Thanks! and Love what you do :)

    • avatar Emily reply

      Hi Rebecca! Those tops are actually from Victoria’s Secret! Best of luck with your search!

  2. avatar Erin reply

    I LOVE that yellow cushion-cut diamond ring! I’d want that as a right-hand ring, definitely! I’m all for vintage jewelry and rock an antique engagement ring (my man’s mother’s, grandmother’s, AND great-grandmother’s engagement ring!)

  3. avatar Brit {Colure Weddings} reply

    They’re all so gorgeous! I’m a little relieved that it is the guy’s job to choose, because I don’t think I could!

    I just got my engagement ring last week (!!!!!!!!!!!) and my favorite part about it is that the band is from the 1940’s. My sweet fiance spent months looking for the perfect band and then had it fitted for a diamond. I love that it was a part of someone else’s love story and now it’s a part of ours.

    • avatar Emily reply

      Congratulations, Laura!!! I’m sure your ring is stunningly beautiful!
