OK, so we finally jumped into the social media bandwagon!

I have been busy this past week setting up our new Facebook Fan page, and our Twitter account.  In addition to this, I am starting a new Tumblr blog so our readers can follow us easier via Tumblr, Facebook, and Twitter.

So, without further ado, we are introducing the Estilo Chronicles…

In addition to blogging about noteworthy wedding trends and events, Estilo Chronicles will be a journal of other things, ideas, and opinions I would like to share with you - like my current fashion obsession, great restaurants I’ve been to, or books that I’m reading. I hope you like it:)

Yesterday, as I was going through my daily emails, I got an “alert” from Google Alerts telling me that someone blogged about Estilo Weddings. 

To my surprise, it was from an interview that Style Me Pretty Creator, Abby Larson, did with Completely Unveiled, the Weddings Unveiled Blog.  She was asked what her favorite online shopping resources are for brides, and she picked Estilo Weddings as a great resource for wedding favors and details!

I am still in disbelief that Abby Larson picked Estilo Weddings as one of her favorites, considering the thousands of wedding stores out there!  It really is an honor!  Thanks Abby!

Below is an excerpt from the interview:

WU: What are some of your favorite online shopping and resource sites for brides?

AL: Piperlime and Zappos are great resources to find the perfect shoe. Bluefly is fabulous for finding mismatched but adorable bridesmaid dresses (my new favorite trend). Franklin + Gower is the coolest spot to find custom groom and groomsmen attire. I heart Franklin + Gower a lot. Crate and Barrel is a registry must-have as they make the online portion so easy. Minted sells a gorgeous collection of luxury invitations and paper goods.  Estilo Weddings has a great selection of wedding favors and details. We love Jamali Garden for vases and interesting vessels. There are so many great online finds. We could probably plan an entire wedding without leaving our sofa!

As I’ve mentioned in my previous posts, I have a thing for pretty desserts, and learning about the Cupcake D’lights blog just totally made my day!  I mean how amazingly gorgeous are these cupcakes?!?!  Cupcake D’lights is located in Durban, South Africa and creates the most amazing couture cupcakes.  Their cupcakes are topped with the finest sugar decoration all created by hand.  Oh, how I wish they were located here in the US…

I just love this Ghost Dress from the English Department.  It’s fun, flirty, and romantic.  A modern vintage twist on a wedding dress.

I have this thing about pretty cakes and desserts.  I think of a cake as a blank canvas where one can express their personality and creativity.  Speaking of which, check out these gorgeous wedding cakes from Sweet and Saucy.  Don’t they just look too good to eat?!?!
