Hanging Glass Votive Holders

As I move forward in planning my wedding, I've been gathering all kinds of unique decor ideas. My latest purchase was for these glass hanging votive candle holders. They are so stunning and versatile. You can put tealight candles in them and hang them from trees, the ceiling, or centerpieces. In addition, you could also put colored water in them to match your wedding color(s) and add a flower to float. My plan is to put crystals in the bottom and add a little flower on top and hang them from the trees in our ceremony location, as well as hanging them from the centerpiece on the placecard table.
These will work best in a contemporary/modern setting, but can certainly be used to compliment vintage and rustic weddings as well. They are a great alternative to regular candle-holders because they're unique and unexpected!

Home Inspiration

 I have HUNDREDS of home inspiration photos loaded into a folder on my laptop and have been obssesed lately with collecting them because my fiance and I are starting to look to buy our first home. My decorating style is modern with an Old Hollywood twist. Below are my favorite inspirational photos taken from various magazines, books, and blogs.

Interior Design: Carrie and Big's Apartment in Sex and the City 2

In Sex and The City 2, Carrie proclaims that she's been "cheating on fashion for furniture", which is apparent in her and Big's NYC apartment in the sequel. I fell in love with every room and admire the use of several different textures, patterns, and colors.
Onto the tour...

Up next...I will be doing a "where to buy" and "look for less" for several pieces in the apartment, stay tuned!

Interior Design by Faye Resnick

I came across Faye Resnick's website while browsing for interior design inspiration and love her style. She designed both Nicky and Paris Hilton's homes. Below are photos of both. I like Nicky Hilton's Old Hollywood Regency style home and Paris Hilton's ultra girly home. I would say my style is an equal merge of both.

Paris Hilton's home

Paris Hilton's dogs' home: Faye Resnick designed the dog house as well. It sits behind Paris Hilton's house and is a miniature version of her home. It is estimated to cost $325,000 and has central air, a crystal chandelier and is decked out with designer duds including Chewy Vuitton dog toys.
