Hot New Trend for 2011: Brides {Heart} Hearts

Oh and I {Heart} Hearts too!

Hearts have long symbolized the sweetest and most innocent love–a pure love that knows no bounds and is unconditional. No wonder they are making a comeback in a big way. But rather than cheesy plastic hearts available in the wedding section of Walmart (blat), 2011 brides are expressing themselves with hand-crafed heart-shaped details. There is something so sweet about both the asthetic and the endeavor of making little hearts. It reminds me of making home-made Valentines for school. Remember putting that extra bit of glitter onthe Valentine for your sweetest crush or BFF? Awwwww…

*NOTE: I generally do not post images from the knot for the very reason the you must log in to see it and they do a piss-poor job of crediting their vendors. This is a case in point, and if it weren't so cute and original, I would find somethings else. I just had to explain my conflicted feelings and reason for using an image from The Knot.
