The bride wanted a hair comb, but most she was finding had too many rhinestones or were made to look like flowers. Based on her guidance, this was the design I came up with. A perfect mix of Swarovski pearls, rhinestones and crystals.<br />

The groom is an avid cyclist, so the couple incorporated bicycles into the wedding decor. The cake topper was a bicycle made for two (how cute!) and was found on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a>. The favors were hand-painted coasters (also from Etsy) that had two bikes, the name of the couple and their wedding date. The cupcakes and assorted sweets came from <a href="http://www.couturecakery.net/" style="font-family: inherit;">Couture Cakery</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">: Carolyn says, "We worked with the owner, Jasmine. She was so </span>talented<span style="font-family: inherit;"> and fabulous to work with!"</span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 13px;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The couple used <a href="http://www.djkopec.com/">DJ Kopec</a>, which the bride proclaimed, "the best DJ in the area!" He came up from Baltimore to do for the reception. "Chris [DJ Kopec] was able to keep people dancing the entire time. Young and old…I couldn’t believe how many ppl were up out of their seats. He’s amazing." Looks like the reception was a lot of fun!</span><br />

I have been swamped with bridal season and haven't had much time to blog. (But, I will show you all the loveliness I've been working on soon). But, for now, wanted to leave you with some tonal bridesmaids inspiration. I have been seeing a lot of bridesmaids wearing similar shades on <a href="http://pinterest.com/alexandrawebb/">pinterest</a>, and I'm just loving it!<br />

They turned out beautifully! Using Swarovski crystals and Swarovski pearls, I designed 3 pieces. Two necklace styles and one earring. The bride decided to have half of her girls in the earrings, half in the drop necklace and the Maid of Honor in the asymmetrical necklace. Take a look:<br />

This week I've been <a href="http://alexandrawebb-brides.blogspot.com/search/label/Pinterest">posting </a>all about <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a>. Today, I want to talk about how to use Pinterest to find inspiration. It's SO easy. So, you're already using the <a href="http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/">"Pin It" button</a> to pull inspiring images from all over the web. Maybe you're an advanced (read: addicted) user and you've got the <a href="http://search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZContentLink.woa/wa/link?path=apps%2fPinterest">iPhone App</a>. In any case, you're using Pinterest to keep your inspiration organized. So, what else can you do? Follow people! Not just your bff, mom, and grandma are using Pinterest! Tastemakers, designers, bloggers (and just about everyone) is as well. So, here are some suggestions to get you started!<br />

As I recently <a href="http://alexandrawebb-brides.blogspot.com/2012/02/get-on-pinterest-board.html">posted</a>, <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest </a>is a great tool for planning a wedding. And like most things on the web, it is what you make of it. (For basic information on how to use Pinterest, visit their help page <a href="http://pinterest.com/about/help/">here</a>).<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">1. Create Pinboards with clear labels. (Just as you would use tabs in a binder). You can create an infinite number of boards, so get as specific as you need. Examples: Bridesmaids dresses, Bouquets, Invitations. You can then start pinning images from around the web (or already on Pinterest) to your boards. You may want to create a "miscellaneous" board for pins that don't quite fit elsewhere. You can always move pins off of that board in the future.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">2. Install the "Pin It" button. You can find details and instructions <a href="http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/">here</a>. It takes 2 seconds. This will allow you to pull images from virtually any website. This is a great tool when visiting wedding blogs for inspiration. You no longer have to bookmark everything! Pinterest will take the image (linking back to the website it came from automatically) and pin it to any board you'd like. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YNwDFr_2e04/Tyc1Hgz4c9I/AAAAAAAABvQ/sH2UxGEdmzs/s1600/Pinterest+Etiquette.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YNwDFr_2e04/Tyc1Hgz4c9I/AAAAAAAABvQ/sH2UxGEdmzs/s200/Pinterest+Etiquette.png" width="187" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Visit <a href="http://roost-home.blogspot.com/2011/10/three-rules-of-pinterest-etiquette.html">Roost</a> to learn how to pin politely.</td></tr>
</tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;">3. Be sure to label your pins clearly. Labeling is important for you and other pinners (including your friends) to find these pins in searches. To get more into the intricacy of pinning and pinning etiquette, see <a href="http://blog.pinterest.com/post/6803728944/why-pinterest-is-amazing">this</a> and <a href="http://roost-home.blogspot.com/2011/10/three-rules-of-pinterest-etiquette.html">that</a>. As you use Pinterest more, you'll see why this is important. </div><br />
4. Get creative! Pins are just that, pins. They can be removed, rearranged, re-pinned, etc. So, feel free to pin "crazy" ideas. Its all about inspiration! Pins don't have to fit your budget, wedding theme, or any other limitation. Anything you like is "pin worthy," so pin away!<br />

Get on board! Seriously. I assume that everyone has been using this fab inspirational/organizational/social website, but have discovered that many of you still haven't heard the good word!<br />

So, huh, what's Pinterest? Its a handy website (and iphone App) for collecting and sharing images/things you find interesting on the web. You can label those images called "pins" onto different boards or pin-boards. So instead of collecting images from magazines and trying to organize them in binder or scrapbooks, you can do it all online. Better yet, you can share them with friends! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Much like Facebook or Twitter. You can "follow" people and they can "follow" you. The Pinterest homepage features a Pin Feed which allows you to see the recently added pins by those you follow. You can then "like" (think Facebook), comment on, or re-pin those pins to your own boards. You can even "tag" someone on a pin. Come across the perfect bridesmaids dresses on Pinterest? You can let your maid of honor know right away by "tagging" her in a pin comment or label.<br />

So, scoot on over to <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest </a>to "request" an invitation. But, be warned, its addictive and you may lose track of time regularly! For tips on how to use Pinterest in your wedding planning, check back tomorrow. More to come...<br />

So, Fells Point was the perfect spot for this couple's engagement photo session. Their photographer was <a href="http://toddspitler.com/">Todd Spitler</a>, based out of Lancaster, PA, but works with couples throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Spitler did a fantastic job capturing this couple's joy on Thames Street and Bond Street Wharf...<br />
