This dress makes my heart skip a beat. Monique Lhuillier’s Waltz gown in blush silk gauze is pure sweetness…
To see the back of this dress (even more amazing) and the rest of this unbelievably romantic collection, click here and go to the Bridal Spring 2012 section. Or go see them in person this weekend at the Melrose CA Bridal Salon’s Trunk Show. For an appointment call 323.655.1088.
Sigh, so lovely don’t you think?
I have a fun week planned for next week, stop by for some inspiration.

Lovely Engagement Session by KT Merry
What a great way to kick off the weekend! An engagement session photographed by one of the “Top 20 Rising Stars in Wedding Photography” PDN Magazine. So I am sure its no secret: I am a huge fan of KT Merry. She has captured this amazing couple and all their sweetness! Jaclyn and Patrick are such a cute couple, aren’t they? Patrick is so tall, I am fond of tall as my husband is 6’6. I also fell in love with Jaclyn’s turquoise dress.
This is what the bride to be had to say about their engagement.
“When my fiancé asked me to marry him, I was so surprised that I didn’t say anything. He slid the ring on my finger while I just stared back blankly. I finally shouted, “Yes!” and admired my ring and my new, soon- to-be husband. I later learned that he had hidden the ring hidden in our apartment for a full month. He jokingly said that he just put it in a tall cabinet knowing I would never find it (he is a full foot taller than me) but I think this is what actually happened.
Both native east-coasters, we moved to California together over two years ago and haven’t shoveled a single sidewalk since. We decided to plan a small and intimate wedding in Southern California to celebrate our marriage with our closest friends and family. While it hasn’t been easy planning a wedding so far away from our families, we are very blessed to have a great support network here and have met some wonderful and extremely talented vendors, our photographer included!”
You can see ALL the sweetness on KT Merry’s blog, here. Congratulations Jaclyn and Patrick. Thank you for sharing your story with us. All the best to you both!

New Year My Love
Greetings sweet readers!
What is it about the new year? Beginnings are always so sweet and hopeful – whether the beginning of a marriage or a New Year, I feel inspired!
This is a particularly exciting new year for me with one very big beginning: sharing my passion for weddings on Aisle Candy! I’m Sara and I can’t wait to share my beautiful finds, ideas, tips and of course lots of inspiration for the most special party you will ever plan!
I am so excited to get to know you all and help plan your big day along the way. I would love to hear from you so please feel free to leave me a comment anytime.
Here are some little known facts about me…
I met my husband while working on a dude ranch. We dated for 9 months and he proposed on April fools day, no joke. This year we celebrate our 10th anniversary! We have 2 amazing daughters that have transformed our lives and marriage in ways I could never have imagined; I’m truly grateful. I think nail polish is the finishing touch for any outfit, I am currently wearing Essie’s “power clutch”. I am training for a marathon – well an “almost marathon” – its 21 miles. I burn French bread so often, we affectionately call it “Sara bread”. I am a little mad at Oprah (not too mad because she is Oprah, after all) for listing Lululemon as one of her favorite things this year, now they are sold out of the stuff I like! I have had a lifelong love affair with horses. I broke my nose twice in High school. I have heard every Polish joke; every, single, one. Your wedding is the best party you will ever plan and it should be the most FUN too. I will do my best to remind you of this everyday. I LOVE weddings, everything about them.
Me in my Lazaro wedding dress; I still wear it around the house.

I have so much planned for the weeks ahead: sweet inspiration, real weddings and tons of ideas!

New Year, New Beginnings…
Hello sweet readers, and Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! It’s been a while, no? Well… I have some bittersweet, yet wonderful news to share. 2012 will mark the beginning of a brand new and very exciting chapter for Aisle Candy. As many of you know, this past fall I made the difficult decision to put AC up for sale. After receiving many inquiries, I’ve found someone who I believe could quite possibly be the perfect person to take over the site.
I’d like to introduce you to Sara Roeder! She is the new owner and editor of Aisle Candy and will begin her tenure on January 10th – her anniversary!
I am confident that Sara has the creativity, knowledge and most importantly, the passion necessary to take Aisle Candy to places I never thought possible. I can’t wait to watch the site continue to grow and expand under Sara’s guidance and direction.
I am thrilled to have found someone I trust whole-heartedly to take over what I’ve worked so hard to build. With that said, the sale is of course a little bittersweet. I am going to miss you all so much. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your readership and most importantly for your love and support throughout my time at Aisle Candy. From my very first post, the support I’ve received from readers, bloggers and vendors alike has been nothing short of amazing. I know you will continue to read and support AC, now under Sara’s watchful eyes, as you have so faithfully in the past.
I have nothing but sweet love for all of you, and I truly hope our paths will cross again.
Wishing you nothing but the very best,
Katie
