Randi Brookman Harris

Randi‘s new site is live and I’m loving it!  She’s added some new spreads, and these ones from InStyle Magazine are great color inspiration for youbold brides.

MSW Spring sneak peek

OK, so I’m not totally a pink person, but I do make an exception for the cherry blossoms at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.  When I got my issue of the latest Martha Stewart Weddings (arriving on stands Monday!), I caught my breath a little after opening this spread, with florals by Matthew Robbins.  Check out the full gallery here, and if you ever have a chance, go to BBG in April when the blossoms are fully bloomed and sit under the trees, its amazing!  [secret tip: if you shake the tree a little, it will be like its raining pink petals!]

NELLE contest winner!

Congrats to Deena who’s won up to 5 NELLE clutches for her bridesmaids!  I really loved the elements that went into this board, but especially how she stepped away from the standard layout and thought outside the box.  Really great job Deena!
