Ok, readers. You guys KNOW I love to do some serious experimenting in the kitchen… but did you know that it really wasn’t until we tied the knot that my husband and I cooked more than a frozen pizza together? And when I saw what Pressed Cotton sent for our lucky bride winner who registered for The Inspired bride, I was jealous that I hadn’t started out with such cool accessories.

Not only is this one of my favorite companies for anything rustic and chic, but they’ve got some really perfect things for newlyweds to have fun over. In particular, this gift package is a “Mr. & Mrs.” apron and a newlywed cookbook. So not only can you whip up some no-fail recipes, but you can look like a stylish champ while doing so.

We already gave this one away (make sure you’re in the running for future giveaways – buy your ticket at www.studiowedinspired.eventbrite.com),  but make sure you check out the entire line of adorable inventory online at www.pressedcotton.com

I had the pleasure of chatting with the owner of this fun company this week, on the phone. I can’t even begin to describe what an overwhelming sense of joy I received from chatting with her – so much so, that you can totally believe why she chose fun treats (Amusing Treats, to be exact) as her career!

But that’s really an understatement of the year. Check out the amazing inventory that she offers – all custom, all made-to-order and all ridiculously delicious. It’s the perfect way to say “welcome” to your guests at the hotel, a great way to keep your bridesmaids sugared up on the big day and even a tasty way to say “thank you” to the guests who boogied the night away with you.

What’s even better is that when I got to chat with the Amusing team, they surprised us with a $60 gift certificate for a lucky Inspired Bride to win at the event on September 8th. Want in on that? Just visit www.studiowedinspired.eventbrite.com to buy your tickets now. At the event, you’ll be able to register to win!

…My mouth is already drooling.

Whether you choose to let your new beau toss your garter to the wolves-err, single men-or not, there’s something sultry and romantic about donning this fun accessory.

And with one that’s delicately detailed and tailored with the skill and style of La Gartier, there’s really no question about it. Every garter she designs is custom to the bride, her personality and her love story. And no matter what, every single one is luxe, lacy and 100% made by hand.

Want to get your legs into one of these? Well, it’s your lucky-in-love day – La Gartier is one of our featured sponsors inside the Celebrity-style Gifting Suite (sponsored by Pottery Barn) at The Inspired Bride this year.

That means, every bride who registers for the event has the chance to stash one of these fabulous intimates in their bag. Make sure you’re registered at www.studiowedinspired.eventbrite.com for the chance to walk the red carpet to goodies!

Have you guys heard of this company? If not, I’m about to go on a ranting rave about just how AMAZING these ladies can make your life. For starters, isn’t it everyone’s dream to be organized? These ladies pretty much have degrees in the subject, delivering services that range from closet makeovers to packing perfection.

And, with a huge catalogue of adorable, stylish ways to stay on top of that organization both at home and on the road, they’re a one-stop shop for all things practical… and pretty.

Here you can meet the personal stylists and read about all the ways they can make your life a heck of a lot easier. Plus, as a sponsor of this year’s Inspired Bride, we’ve got a gift card for one lucky bride to start her journey towards junk-free!

Make sure you’re registered online at www.studiowedinspired.eventbrite.com now for your chance to enter the giveaway!
