Ana and Amber's double wedding

 
Announcing a first in Annabel & Ruby history - Ana and Amber's double wedding! Can you stand it?  Look at these gorgeous girls and their handsome beaus!

Ana first contacted me via Etsy last year as she and her sister began planning their unique wedding day.  Both girls were looking for a natural, comfortable gown that would express their unique style and design sensibilities, while still being practical for the barefoot oceanside wedding they had planned.  After some discussion, Ana chose a reproduction of the J. Crew Erika gown and Amber chose a reproduction of the Lucinda gown.  I was thrilled to oblige!

Just one of the fantastic DIY touches Ana and Amber incorporated into their ceremony and reception
I think my favorite part of this breathtaking event is the final line of the joint ceremony: "Love creates family, and family creates love."  I couldn't agree more!  Congratulations to everyone, and thank you so much to Ana and Amber for sharing your special day with us! :-)

Eye candy: Lovely Clusters

A fellow Etsian, Elizabeth of iviemade, alerted me to a fabulous blog/website called Lovely Clusters that features curated collections from Etsy artists and allows its readers to create their own "lovely clusters" - akin to the treasuries on Etsy.  When you visit the site and view the clusters, you can click through to the artists' Etsy sites--very cool! Check out the one Elizabeth put together--yep, that's my Emmeline dress in there. :-)
 Thank you so much to Elizabeth for putting me in the know about this fab site!
