sneak peek: martha stewart weddings winter issue

We're so excited to share a little pre-holiday gift to all of you...a sneak peek at the gorgeous new Winter 2013 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings! The new issue is available now for the iPad and the print magazine hits newsstand's on 12.24 and is the perfect travel companion for the trip home for the holidays!

The team at Martha Stewart Weddings has outdone themselves with the biggest issue ever and lots of amazing wedding inspiration for all of you getting engaged!

Pretty in pink isn't just the title of a classic 80's movie. It's what many brides wish to be on their big day. And when you think pink, think plural—there are SO many hues of the color that the options are endless.

This pink palette story has ideas for dressing your bridesmaids, naturally gorgeous bouquet ideas, poppy invites, a ring pillow you'll love, ideas for setting your reception table, a gown to swoon over, makeup that will turn you into the blushing bride in no time, gifts for the guys, and of course some sweets and sips. Practical and perfect pink wedding details...we know you'll love this feature!

Happy Monday! Here are a few details we are loving this week...

It's time to deck the halls! We love this simple garland of fresh greens from House and Home.

Yum! Coffee + donut cupcakes from Always with Butter would be a perfect late-night pass.
