Snow is so magical isn't it?! There is such a soft relaxing presence to it that brings out this cozy cuddly feeling in your soul. I adore curling up on my couch and staring at it softly fall down from the sky as I wrap the blankets around me and sip my tea. I hate going out in it though...and shoveling it. :)

As the winter season truly starts for us, it's a reminder what Christmas brings about--lots and lots of proposals! :) Consider Elizabeth Anne to be your coordinator for the most important day of your life-you won't be let down.

I promise.

elegantly you.

I am jiving with these elegant hair accessories. Aren't you?!

Hairpin features ostrich and goose feathers

what will you say 'I Do' to?

I heart that my family & friends know my passions.

I heart that they know just what to give me to make me sparkle-and yes, it's most likely involved with weddings. :)

My newest little gift is a magazine article based on some fun tidbits that I'm lovin' to share with all the brides to be out there... you know who you are: this is for you.

We've been seeing it transcend into the making for the past few seasons and take the place of the all to familiar wedding cake and that is the cupcake. It has made it's depute and it's not going anywhere! We love them-they are cute, there is no cake cutting cost [oh yes, most venues have a cake cutting fee!] and well, who can refuse a cupcake?

Honestly, I know little.

Did you also know that there are even new-er trends breaking the scene? This peeked my interest quite a bit as I had never heard of it but the paper does not lie. [hah!]

The newest trend is ... Twinkies! Some other trends that are popping up are s'mores and doughnuts. Isn't that fun?!

All this to say: anything goes now-a-days, ladies! My sister had pies at her wedding this summer and it was a fantastic twist to the norm.

I say embrace the trends and think outside the box!

It's way too much fun! :)

anne to my diana.

Friendships that complete you as a person are truly a gift that God has given us--especially us woman. Can I get an amen to that, ladies? ;) My Heidi is one of those gifts. She has the same intricate thoughts, weird expressions and wildness as me. We get it. We get each other. She is my Anne to my Diana.

The sad part is that she lives 9 hours away. Every year we make it a point to reconnect face to face. In our 11 years of friendship, we have never missed a year. This past weekend was our time to laugh over coffee, stay up half the night whispering secrets and kissing one another's cheeks. I treasure my few days with her as it must last me all year. Here's to you my beloved. Let us drink our sweater brews yearly as we dance in fall leaves. I love you.

searching for you.

In the off season of the year you may think that wedding consultants sit back and drink our pumpkin spice lattes while breezing through the latest trends but it's not necessarily true! okay okay... I am totally still sipping that pumpkin spice latte and looking through all the greatest bridal mags but it isn't ALL I'm doing! :)

I'm working hard to find the very best wedding vendors for you. The vendors that elizabeth anne recommends are top notch in quality, personality and trustworthy to the core... and can I just say that I am meeting the BEST ones?! I am!! It's been a blast to add these fab vendors to my list & I'm super excited to start recommending them to you...because you are worth it. :)
