Filled with 25 essentials, this $25 kit will inevitably be your best bridesmaid on your special day. We all know it can get pretty stressful and sometimes the littlest mishap can turn into a catastrophe. That’s why you should get your hands on the Bridessentials Survival Kit from Ms. & Mrs. so that you will be prepared for just about anything. Whether you need extra wedding bands, static remover, double-sided tape or just a couple bobby pins - this kit is a must-have.

We all know monograms are quite popular for brides when planning their dream wedding. Monograms easily personalize a wedding and unify just about every detail. You can use them on your wedding invitations, menu cards, thank you cards, favor boxes..you name it.

Recently I’ve been immersed into the monogram making process when I was asked to create a “we’re engaged!” graphic for my fiance to send out to his relatives out east. After hours of playing with everything, I finally made the logo above with his & my initial “J + M”. Because it was a rush, I couldn’t incorporate the colors of my wedding (mind you, I don’t even know my wedding colors yet - too many colors to choose from!).

Anyways, I’m really enjoying the monogram making process (although, currently all monogrammed out!) and will hopefully be available to make some for anyone who is interested at a low cost! I’ll keep you posted with my future prototypes and when I get that part of my site up and running. Send an email to monograms@weddingobsession.com if you’re interested. In the mean time, here are a couple more that I’ve made:

Hong Kong actress and singer Kelly Chen got a preview of her upcoming wedding in October after wearing numerous wedding gowns while filming a wedding-themed commercial. Chen admits that the many white veils and traditional red Chinese gowns will serve as inspiration when choosing her wedding dress & jewelry for her October wedding to long time beau, Alex.

Thought it might be interesting to post some global inspiration

Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester wore this white Nina Ricci dress to Piaget’s launch of its LImelight Paris-New York Collection in New York recently. The sweetheart neckline adds a more demure touch to the very mini hemline - a style that has been seen a lot on the wedding gown runways. Opt for this look if you want to avoid wearing a traditional formal gown or if you plan to have your wedding on a hot, summer day.

Seattle designer Matt Terich & his wife, Tere Mendez, created this rock-poster invitation for a Seattle couple who wanted something a different.

Terich & Mendez make custom wedding-poster invitations and began the business in 2005 after attending a poster convention where they were asked if they were interested in making their wedding invitations.

The invitations are created to resemble event posters, providing the couples’ names and wedding date & location just like an upcoming concert. While couples can choose smaller sized posters, they can opt for a larger 19 x 25 inch size that can be displayed as a keepsake on their wall after the wedding.

Says Terich: “It’s a way to do [something] for somebody where they … get to be the rock star for that event — because they are, and that’s what a wedding is.”
