We were so excited when we heard about SimplyBridal because their dresses are not only absolutely amazing, but they are all under $600. We are lovers of low prices, but only if it does not compromise the quality, so we were a little skeptical at first.  Rest assured, SimplyBridal uses outstanding quality fabric, materials, and is 100% made to measure. SimplyBridal has a user friendly site that allows people to shop at ease, knowing their dream gown is just a click away. As a customer you will get a handmade dress created with your measurements and in the fabrics you have chosen, at a price that cannot be beat.

Oh, and the icing on the cake? They have a stellar 30 day risk-free return policy. They will send you a return label so you can send your dress back to them free of charge. Amazing right?

Well, today you are in luck! We have a fabulous giveaway from SimplyBridal.com. We are giving away a free wedding veil of your choice, including shipping too! Click here to view a list of all their gorgeous veils. All you have to do is head over and “like” SimplyBridal’s Facebook page then leave a comment on New and Blue’s facebook post telling us which veil you love. Winner will be chosen at random and announced on Friday.  Good luck!

These fun bride and groom cards are darling. They would make for great decorations on the inside of bathroom stalls. People will love the detail to the bathroom and enjoy learning quirky facts about the bride and groom. Picture from Emmaline Bride.

Hosting a bridal shower and need some last minute ideas for decorations? We have a great decoration idea using things you probably have around the house. Here is what you will need:

Small Round Coffee Filters

Cupcake Liners

Quilting Pins (yellow would be ideal)

Round Styrofoam Balls (for each centerpiece)

A Bag of Lemons

Boxes Lemon Head Candy

Flower Vases (various heights)

To begin:

1. Separate the coffee filters into groups of two. Taking the cupcake liners, place one liner in the center of each coffee filter. Pierce the quilting pin through both the liner and filter.

2. Twist or shape both pieces into a cone shape with the quilting pin exposed at the end.

3. Taking the end of the pin, place into the Styrofoam ball. Place the pins about 1 1/2 inches apart, covering only the top 1/2 of the ball. Leaving the bottom half exposed.

4. Repeat these steps till the Styrofoam ball is full.

5. Go through and slightly push open the liners and filters to create a full look. Fill in with more liners and filters where needed.

6. Fill the flower vases with 2/3 full with lemon head candy or various lemons.

7. Place the Styrofoam ball on top of the flower vases and you are done!

Note- for a 4 inch ball, you will need about twenty filter and liner pieces to create a full flower. Feel free to play around with various size coffee filters, colors of cupcake liners, and candy.

These are fun, easy and very inexpensive. A perfect centerpiece decoration for any bridal shower or brunch!

Lots of couples getting married outside these days often skip wedding favors and instead provide guests with a fun gift to make them feel at home. From sunglasses and scarfs to flip flops, the gifts allow people to let loose and have fun during the reception. But what about providing guests with something for the ceremony? If your wedding is going to be in the heat of summer, think about providing guests with sun hats (for the ladies) and baseball caps (for the men). Guests will love the shade on their faces and the thoughtfulness of the gift! For that extra fun detail, personalize the hats with your wedding date or a cute quote. Picture found here.

Like most of you we love Pintrest and just can’t get enough. There are so many creative ideas that fill us full of inspiration. Are you following us? If not, follow the jump.

These pictures are amazing. I had never seen Jackie and JFK’s wedding pictures, so when I found these on Miss Moss I was floored. The wedding is so timeless, it could take place today. From the chivari charis to the dress, these are all trends happening today. The pictures were taken by Life photographer Lisa Larsen. Enjoy! Pictures found here.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Hope everyone has some fun plans for the weekend. Seeing how Cinco de Mayo this year falls on a Saturday, wouldn’t it be fun to have a fiesta themed wedding? Enjoy!

This past weekend we had the pleasure of being a part of an extraordinary Bridal Bliss wedding. Jane and Michael’s wedding ceremony was held at Temple Beth Israel followed by a stunning reception at Blue Hour. From the personalized menus to individual two tiered wedding cakes, ever detail was flawlessly executed.

New and Blue proudly supplied Jane and Michael with their traditional Jewish programs, table numbers, and personalized menus. Watch the above video, by the always talented Holland Studios, for all the must see wedding pictures. For more pictures and details follow the jump to the lovely Bridal Bliss blog.

Don’t love the look of place cards; want something a little more personal? Think about having personalized menus for each place setting. Guests will love arriving at their seat with a personalized menu just for them. At the entrance of the reception have escort cards or a display of names with assigned tables. Once at the tables, guests will find their specific seats according to the menu. Want more information, just let us know and we are happy to help!

New and Blue is now offering these adorable kids placemats and menus. These are a great idea if you are having a kid table at your wedding reception. Just place a couple packs of crayons on the tables and you are all set. The placemat/menus are $3.00 a piece and can be customized in your wedding colors and menu selections. Want to order these for your wedding? Just email us at boutique@newandblue.
