The wonderful photographer duo, He & She Photography, recently sent in these adorable engagement images of Kate and Daniel. They actually got hitched this past Friday, so I couldn’t resist wishing Congratulations to the happy couple! There were so many great images from this session, but I love the scrabble set below…

I am so excited about today on Once Wed. Not only is it Friday(yay!), but my first column is now up on Design Sponge. I was so excited to partner up with Gloria Wong Design and Jen Curtis on this inspiration shoot in San Francisco. Gloria is an incredible event designer and brought together an amazing team of vendors including Good on Paper, Nancy Liu Chin, and Mira Aster to create this wonderful table inspired by Spirograph’s. To see the rest of this gorgeous table and more photos from Jen Curtis, click here…
A version of this spirograph-inspired tablescape will also be featured at The Wedding University on January 31, 2010 at the Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley. The Wedding University is an afternoon of elegance, education, and inspiration for engaged couples, providing personalized classes, taught by experienced wedding professionals in an atmosphere of welcome, relaxation and fun. For more information, please visit the Wedding 360.
I wanted to let everyone know that there are some pretty incredible dresses over in the used wedding dresses section of the site right now. Here are just 2 of over 2800 dresses that are being sold…

One of our sponsors here on Once Wed is the lovely Lisa Leonard Designs. Each piece of her custom jewelry is hand-cut, hammered, antiqued and polished sterling silver. These would make great bridesmaid gifts to be worn for the day of the wedding and long after.
Lisa is doing a giveaway today as well! One reader will win 4 necklaces from the Petit Crest line, which is featured below. All you have to do is leave a comment and one random winner will be selected.
Lisa not only makes necklaces, but custom bracelets, key chains and more. Make sure to check out her store here.
Jen of Miss Pickles Press made two amazing signs that read “Will you marry me” and “She said yes,” printed on wood veneer and embellished with sweet floral detailing at the edges.
We found an incredible venue in the country with a charming rustic barn, Amber Grove Inn, and called up some of our favorite people to bring this awesome story of a proposal to life.
Jen also made all of our “memory cards.” We tied her pretty hand-stamped muslin bags along the string of yarn. Tucked within each of the bags, was a card that recalled a special memory between our two fictitious lovebirds. Sort of like a game of hide and seek, our groom planted clues for his soon to be so she could find him at the end of the string of yarn, waiting to propose.
