{Video Post} 5 Things to Consider When Choosing Your Wedding Vendors

Happy Wednesday my loves!!!

Today, I have something a little new on the blog: a Video Post!!!  

Yup, yup! I am sharing a short video I shot titled "5 Things to Consider When Choosing Your Wedding Vendors".  There are a few VERY important things you need to think about before you decide which vendors will make up your wedding "dream team", so you'll definitely want to hear this!

I really hope to incorporate a lot more video posts with helpful tips, DIY projects, behind-the-scenes videos, etc.  So please, leave a comment here and let me know your thoughts, topics you'd like me to cover, or just to say hello ;)

XOXO,

Nikola

{Wedding Inspiration} 2013 Golden Globe Awards

Ok, I have a confession: I did not watch the 2013 Golden Globe Awards last night (hangs head in shame), BUT, I definitely enjoyed catching all of the recaps and highlights on television, facebook, and various blogs.  The ladies definitely pulled out all the stops when it came to their Red Carpet looks!

Maybe it's just the wedding planner in me, but I couldn't help but think of how many dressess on the Red Carpet could translate into a beautiful wedding gown.  Here are a few of my fave wedding worthy looks:

Julianne Hough put an edgy spin on this gorgeous Monique Lhuillier gown with gold accents.

Jennifer Lopez wearing Zuhair Murad...a little risque, but I can totally see a "daring" bride give this look a try!

Amy Adams looked feminine and sweet in this pink Marchesa gown.

Kerry Washington sparkled in this nude mesh Miu Miu dress.

Megan Fox looked stunning as always in Dolce and Gabbana.

Hayden Panettiere looked fab!

Isla Fisher proved that you can still make a statement by going the simple route.

In non-wedding fashion, I have to say that Halle Berry and Eva Longoria ROCKED IT!!! Definitely two of my favorite looks of the night!

{Color Crush} Emerald Green : Pantone 2013 Color of the Year

Happy New Year lovelies!!!

I know, I know! I'm about a week late, but after all of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, I decided to take a few days off to refocus, regroup, and renew!  I am working on some MAJOR things for the future of PTE, in 2013 and beyond (starting with a brand-spanking new website/blog design...*happy dance*)!  But more about that in another post...

We're starting the year off with a color crush on Emerald Green, which was selected as Pantone's color of the year!  When it was first announced, I wasn't too sure how well this color would work in a wedding color pallette, but I have gathered some inspiration that totally changed my mind...
