Since its wedding season, I find no better time to showcase one of my favorite wedding shops, BHLDN. This Anthropologie shop has truly become a staple in event clothing and decor. From bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses to accessories and wedding decor, it definitely is a one stop shop for sure.

They carry unique items that all have a bit of a vintage flair and whimsy feel. I highly recommend every bride visit their website and take a look around. If anything, for inspiration. If you’re lucky enough to live by one of their shops, stop in and say hello. I can promise you will leave with a smile.

There is so much BHLDN offers it would probably take a few posts to list all of my favorite things so I decided to list a few items I love that you can find in each category. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much I do.

Rejuvenation is a lighting shop I came across a couple of months ago. Once I saw their products I was in love. They had tons of options from many different time periods which is right my alley. Now that Dan and I own an older home, dated around 1916, looking for vintage and antique items to fill it up is a must. Plus, we adore the vintage style and love to be surrounded by pastime goodies.

The shop carries lighting and hardware within nine collections: Period Basics, Mid-Century Modern, Classical Revival, Industrial, Art Deco, Victorian, Arts & Crafts, Colonial Revival and Old World. I am sure you will find something you love!

I also appreciate the clean and modern design of their website as well as their beautiful photographs of their products. It’s also organized and easy to navigate which is very helpful when you offer so much to your customers.

Besides their inventory, Rejuvenation also offers restored antiques. They also have a blog that showcases the many things that surround their products such as architecture, artists and real spaces that use their lighting. And for any advice or inspiration you may need on the subject, the shop has that too. All of this makes your shopping experience fun and exciting while learning a thing or two in the process.

Check out some of these inspiration photos from their gallery.

Now for some of my favorites! I hope this post inspires the Thomas Edison in all of you and gets you thinking more about lighting and how important it is in a space. Maybe it will remind you to make the exterior of your home just as nice as the inside. With all its hardware and door sets its certainly easy to! Shop around and look at what Rejuvenation offers. I can guarantee you will find something that will look beautiful in your home.

If you don’t know about World Market, it’s about time you do. This shop is one of my favorites because they carry such an array of items from home decor to accessories. Besides having beautiful and unique products, their prices are great as well. How can you beat that?

Opening in 1958, Cost Plus World Market was a place where people could find unusual and handmade items. Located in San Francisco at the well known Fisherman’s Wharf it became popular very fast. The system the owner used was to sell everything at cost plus 10% for profit. Hence the name Cost Plus.

Today, there are hundreds of stores in business as well as their online shop. It’s global inspired goods are loved by all who look for special treasures. Here are a few of my top picks!

Chez Renee is a unique shop filled with rustic and vintage items, some authentic and some reproductions. A friend passed the link along to me awhile ago and I am so happy she did because its right up my alley. Owners, Renee and Connie are a mother daughter team that paired up to find beautiful items and they surely succeeded.

I love the design of their website just as much as the items they carry. With neutrals taking the stage, they highlight parisian details that have an indie flair. It’s cute, fun and whimsical. In addition, its easy to navigate which is essential. Chez Renee has been featured in many magazines including Elle Decor, Get Married and Martha Stewart Living. I am sure you can understand why they are getting lots of buzz.

Here are a few items I simply adore from this shop. I hope they bring you some inspiration for decor in your home or garden. They definitely have for me.
