Every once in a while, we all have those days where inspiration is just hard to come by, especially when you’re planning an event.  So I thought it would be fun today to share a few of the places I run to when I’m in need of a little shot in the arm of creativity.

I absolutely love home …

Our next library sponsor is Aletha from Pearls Events.  She is a Beetle driving, dog loving, newlywed who just happens to be a fabulous event planner in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Our new blog of the week is Set Design Thinking, and oh the beautiful pictures you’ll see! SDT is written by Bella, an Art Director in Germany, with fabulous style and taste. You’ll definitely want to add this to your list of Design blogs.

You are just not going to believe the cuteness that is Lyndsey and Matt’s Washington wedding.  The awe-inspiring Michele Waite, per usual, did a fantastic job photographing the event and was kind enough to share with the EAD readers!

I absolutely adore white weddings – they are tasteful, glamorous, uncluttered, and oh-so-chic.
