Last night I visited Martha Stewart’s Craft site for the first time and I feel like I’ve been living under a rock for never knowing about this site until now. What a fantastic resource to plan any event, especially a wedding. Wonderful ideas are all over the site from bouquets made out of tissue paper to lace eyelet favor boxes, but I am especially loving the hanging paper flower’s seen below. All of the items either come in kits or are already pre-made. If you havent checked out this site, you need to now.

Tasty ice cream treats(yes, you heard me right…ice cream) from St Claire Ice Cream in CT. Perfect as a favor for your guests to enjoy on their way out or as a delicious, strawberry treat to enjoy with a slice of wedding cake. Yum!

New, Never Worn or Altered Designer’s Bridal Gown By Award Winning Designer Justin Alexander.
I bought this dress in February 2008 without knowing it was too big to be altered to fit me without major alteration fees and no guarantee it would look right. My unwillingness to take the risk is someone else’s gain – this is a classic, beautiful dress that I found to be much more special than other dresses in its’ price-range.
The dress is labeled size 10, but would fit someone who is between size 4 – 8.
The Special Features of this dress include:
Dress color is Oyster, which is slightly darker than Ivory. This is a wonderful color, very flattering for almost any skin tone!
Sweetheart strapless neckline with bow detail is a style that looks good on everyone.
Bow can be removed easily by a seamstress.
The top has boning and built-in cups for extra support and adjustable elastic straps for a comfortable and secure fit.
Beautiful embroidered design goes around the entire gown with small pearls and crystals which enhance embroidery.
Beautiful Multi-Faceted Swarovski Crystal in the center of the embroidery on front.
The Zipper is on the side of the bodice which allows the bow and buttons on the back to stand out.
Full skirt with layers of Tulle underneath.
Unique embroidered designs on the inset panels of the back skirt match rest of embroidery on dress.
The Gown is fully lined with the layers of attached crinoline.
This Gown is in EXCELLENT Condition.

size 14, crinkle iridescent taffeta with sweetheart neckline and pick up, bubble hem skirt. dress has no train, but gorgeous full bottom. picture included from jessica mcclintock website, not me! i bought 2 gowns other than the one i am wearing, it is gorgeous, but i am fickle! tried on 2 times only. this dress was recently removed from the website as it sold out completely.
i am unsure of the measurements, but it is a true 14, and does not run small like most wedding dresses. i am 5′4″ and this dress was long and pooled out on the floor on me without shoes.
