Divine on a Dime

While certainly considered a tribute to friendship, being named a bridesmaid for a close pal can be one costly honour. Bridal showers and bachelorette bashes are often accompanied by a slew of pricey purchases, such as gifts and of course, fabulous outfits. Typically, one of the most expensive pieces of the bridal party puzzle is the wedding day attire; the dress, which almost always requires new shoes, jewelry, and accessories of all kinds.

Shop Ruche offers a unique collection of vintage-inspired numbers to suit the big day and all occasions that come along with it. Best of all? They stay kind to your wallet with the majority of styles priced under $100 USD!

Best in Brunch

"There are very few things this New Yorker loves as much as Sunday brunch. You can sleep until noon and still get eggs anywhere in the city, alcohol is often included with the meal, and Sunday is the one day a week you get the single woman's sports pages: the New York Times wedding section." - Carrie Bradshaw, Sex in the City

As A very thoughtfully reported, yesterday was my 28th b'day. In lieu of the typically awkward Saturday night dinner at a long resto table (come on, we all know what I'm referring to here), I decided to toast to my birth with a Sunday brunch.

The afternoon was filled with breakfast inspired petites and daytime cocktails, and let's not forget the fabulous company (minus a few of my fave people who are...'geographically challenged')!

Here's a sneak peek at the spread;

Thanks to all my wonderful family and friends for celebrating with me!

Sincerely,

S

Today marks S's 28th birthday and her first as a wife! My vivacious, high-spirited, fun-loving, witty and courageous friend and I have been by each other's sides for 22 years and I know we will continue to share in memories together for another lifetime. We have always been closer than close but when we thought we couldn't have any more in common, we each got engaged.  No two people share the same love we do for weddings, parties and any excuse for a new outfit.  I love how our passions have grown together and we have learned so much from each other through the last year in the planning and (bo) blogging.


S hosted a birthday brunch in honour of her special day yesterday and had me suffering from a serious case of FOMO (fear of missing out).  From what I hear she outdid herself again with a spread filled with yumminess and decor that only she could pull off.  S, I hope you enjoyed a glass of bubbly and a slice of cake to celebrate just how special you are.  I know I speak for many when I ask you to share pictures - soon.


Happy Birthday to the most beautiful red-headed ankle biter (I had to) out there! I love you dearly and wish you only happiness today and always.

Our B'day-Gal Friday

"The way I see it, you should treat everyday like it's your birthday." - Paris Hilton

TGIF! But today not only marks the start of the weekend; today we celebrate the birthday of our dear buddy, JM. Pals since the early days of elementary, with enough memories to last a lifetime, we raise our glass (of diet coke, of course), and toast to the 28th birthday of a truly wonderful friend (slightly emotional at times, this is where JM begins to get a little misty eyed).

One more candle on that Loblaws cake...Happy JM Day!!!

Until next time,

A & S
