Ruche launches Ruche Bridal collection

Ruche has easily become one of my favorite places to shop online.  I mean, Anthropologie I love you but my bank account doesn't.  Ruche is the perfect mix between a Modcloth and an Anthropologie I'd say. Its the best of both worlds: affordable and adorable! And guess what they gone and done to make me love it more?? Launch Ruche Bridal!! For all my brides-to-be out there, get ready...

The collection is everything vintage, glam and more but best of all its budget friendly with a splash of delicacy! Wedding gowns are less than $1,000 and bridesmaid dresses are roughly $100 or less.  I mean, you really can't beat that when you are on a budget and still want to feel glamourous and gorgeous.

Something about Ruche Bridal just seems so authentic and true to that vintage appeal.  Its enchanting, glamourous, soft, chic, elegant, and quaint all at the same time. I feel like the word "vintage" is thrown around far too much these days, but Ruche Bridal truly embodies the meaning of the word and delivers everything I picture a "vintage wedding" to be.

View the entire catalog here. Also if you're asking yourself "wow, who photographed this catalog?" check out Stephanie Williams Photography!! She's pretty amazing. Don't you just want to put on a pair of heels and a dress and step on into this spread? ok go indulge....

Fruit and Flowers

Ever thought about using fruit in your floral arrangements? Well we think it's rather brilliant. These were some arrangements we did for a bridal shower. It's a great way to add color that often isn't found in flowers and it adds great texture to the arrangements. Also, grouping smaller fruits together, like we did here with these blueberries, gives the arrangement a bigger impact. 

One of our favorite florists, Sarah Winward does an amazing job at incorporating seasonal fruit in her floral arrangements. Her use of persimmons, grapes, currents, tangerines, and crab apples is incredibly innovative and stunning. 

Turning One

Last week, Fleuri de Di and B+D Delight blog turned one! We have been so incredibly blessed this past year and we've had such an honor to play a role in so many beautiful weddings.  It truly has been a blessing and Fleuri de Di really appreciates all the support and recommendations passed along this past year.

As 2012 has rolled along, many changes and adventures lie ahead. We can't wait to share them all with you in due time!

We hope everyone has enjoyed reading this blog as much as we have enjoyed writing it. Both of our lives are rather crazy at the moment, but this blog has become a refuge for creative output and it has been incredible sharing with you all!

Here are a few weddings that we never got the chance to post. So in celebration, enjoy...
(p.s. both these weddings were completed on the SAME day! Go Fleuri de Di!)
