Bri's Beloved - What Does a Pink Mouse Have to Do with Weddings?

Since planning my own DIY wedding and getting married we celebrated the arrival of our first child in 2014. As a new parent it is easy to become one track minded thinking solely about your child(ren). This is why today's post is full of cuteness! In this Bri's Beloved post the cute factor is going to be increased for your wedding with some adorable handmade flower girl dresses!

 Now here is where the Pink Mouse comes in...

Bri's Beloved - Wedding & Graphic Design by Yolk Design

I haven't posted a Bri's Beloved blog post recently so here's one for you. It takes special shops, vendors, and wedding items to make it on my Bri's Beloved list. What I love about this shop is that it is simple, elegant, and understated enough on it's own to bring a wow factor to a wedding with all the elements pulled together!

Yolk Design offers brides and grooms low budget, unique wedding decor or small wedding gift ideas. They are all custom made by hand by a husband and wife team that created about 99% of their rustic carnival wedding themselves. Combined they have degrees in graphic design and advertising which brings about their creativity and savvy business ideas. They work with silk screen, vinyl and other materials creating logo design, monograms, car decals, home decorations and of course wedding decor and gifts! Take a peek at the simple elegance their wedding items embody.

I am absolutely in love with this Save the Date! I have not seen anything else like it, and what's even more is that you can choose from many colours to suit your chosen wedding colours.

It's always nice to have special keepsakes from your wedding and Yolk Design provides that with their Vow Books and Advice for the Bride and Groom book that you could use as a wedding guest book alternative!

Yolk Design just launched about seven months ago so their product selection will continue to grow! If you are looking for a custom design contact them so they can help you pull together all the subtle details to bring the wow factor to your wedding day!

Bri's Beloved - Convertible Dresses by Nuova Vita

It feels like forever ago that I started planning my wedding as this year marks our 5 year anniversary... which means I likely started planning 5 years before the actual wedding date. During my searches I came across convertible dresses and fell in love. These trendy, versatile, and multi-figure flattering dresses are the highlight of one of many wedding plans I have come up with if I could re-marry my husband every year with a different wedding theme and plan. I love these dresses so much that I finally got myself one for the Summer and can't wait to try out all the styles!!

Nuova Vita is Florida based, owned and operated by Fancesca. She is the designer who also hand makes all the dresses with her team. Nuova Vita draws the essence of “New Life” to classic and elegant women’s convertible dresses and apparel that can be styled in a multitude of ways.  According to Francesca, "It literally is One Piece to Breathe "New Life" Into over and over again!" All you have to do is take a peek and you will fall in love too. With a wide selection of colours, styles, and even convertible maternity dresses it would be hard to not be able to find a convertible dress that would look amazing on every bridesmaid!

I can't say enough about these dresses... Far too often do bridesmaids have a dress they wear in a wedding once, hanging in their closet and no where else suitable to wear it. Nuova Vita convertible dresses can be made as formal or casual as you need just by changing the style and accessories you wear with it. Definitely a dress you can wear over and over again to  different events making the already reasonable price tag even better in comparison to other dresses you will find in bridal shops. For a peek at all the different styles and how to create them click on the image below :)

Ready for some cuteness? Nuova Vita also makes convertible dress in children sizes!! How adorable would your flower girl look wearing a mini version of the same dresses your bridesmaids are wearing!!

If you aren't 100% sure yet that this is the right option for your wedding and have some questions you can click HERE!! If you are ready to order you can follow the Bridesmaid Ordering Guidelines on the website. Not in the U.S? Don't worry, you can still order these amazing dresses! Now get together all your bridesmaids and share the news; you will have fun selecting which style each bridesmaid will wear to be the most figure flattering so everyone looks picture perfect on your wedding day!! 

You're Welcome ;)
