FH and I had to scream out to UPS yesterday because they couldn't deliver to our secured building (frankly, I don't think they even tried, but never mind), but it was SO worth it! I made them on...
Wow, I have been so ambivalent and not in love with any of my choices for flowers or bridesmaid's dresses, but I found both today! I am so excited! Here is the maid's dress. She can wear it again, and...
So we're just having 20 people for the wedding, and I'm thinking a cake for that size group would just look...well, sad. There would be a 10" and a 7" layer. Would it be silly to up the size of the...
I finally found a dress that has everything I want! It's modest, it's simple, it has a Queen Anne neckline and chiffon and a slim fit and no train and it won't break the bank. Ready? It's a...
Okay, I know I've been trying to decide what to wear for 700 years and it's probably getting old. Anyway...I'm thinking I'll get a white suit and "bride it up" a bit with accessories. Seems a little...
This totally wouldn't go with my wedding, but I love it: http://www.etsy.com/listing/75500399/seaside-collection-babys-breath-and?ref=v1_other_1 I never would have though of using baby's breath on its...
We started out planning a tiny, low-key wedding, one step up from the courthouse, and it just keeps expanding. I'm getting a little anxious that I'll lose control of the planning and the budget and go...
Are any of you going to have poppies as part of your wedding flowers? Do they hold up well? What do they cost? We've just changed our date to Veterans' Day, and poppies are the big tradition for...
FH just gave me the go-ahead to spend what I want on a wedding dress. From the beginning, I have been quite against the gigantic shindig, but I would just love to have a beautiful dress and a great...
Okay, ten bucks says I'm not the first one to post this, but I'm going to anyway. Vogue Patterns has had a dress forever that looks exactly like Kate's:...
It has been a long, crazy couple of months! My dad started the bone marrow transplant process in the end of February. He's feeling pretty rotten, but the worst is over. He's planning to be back at...
...champagne? I've been trying on ivory dresses with champagne accents, but this is the first time I've tried on a dress that was ALL champagne. Too light to be beige and too dark to be ivory. I'm...
Okay, so FH and I have FINALLY DECIDED that we're going to have a small, intimate ceremony with 15 people in the smaller chapel of our church. Since there will be no trip down the aisle, I don't...
Random rant: I think pickups are an abomination and I hate them. They make the dress look crumpled, like you just picked it up off the floor. Yuck. Okay, just felt it necessary to post. What are your...
Thank you all so much for your prayers and wishes. I just got an offer that blew all my expectations out of the water. I start Wednesday. God is great!
FH's mom is the queen of the passive-aggressive universe. She likes to needle him and pick fights with him about everything under the sun and it drives him absolutely down the rabbit hole. So, he told...
So I'm jumping the gun a little, but I interviewed yesterday for a fantastic job and I'm likely to be hired. It pays TWICE AS MUCH as I expected I could get in this economy, which will help me get rid...
Well, okay, it's not a bad plan and there's still plenty of time to change it. That said, it changes the "vision" completely. My brother, a U.S. Marine, got married overseas with a couple of witnesses...
I was thinking this morning about the off-the-wall ways I came across some of my vendors. I picked my reception venue because I fell in love with it when I applied for a seasonal job there. When my...
We're thinking about three-piece suits. MOH (a guy) already has one and looks great in it. My darling groom will wear a dark suit with a purple shirt and gold tie, and MOH and son can wear a white...
