Activity for Kristen

...til I have my dress! I hope! I spent last night thinking about it, and decided on the dress I want. But it's a discontinued style so it's off the rack -- I just called the store to make sure they didn't sell it between my appointment Friday...

Venue... What does it look like?? How much are you spending ( roundabout... ) and what is your vision??? MIne is Vanity Fare in Lakewood NJ and it was around 50 per person... the first pic is the room and the second pic is the cocktail hr We are...

So this is the stair case bannister at our venue.. I'm think of hanging ivory pomanders (i have 12) and maybe doing a satin fabric swag, but past that i have no idea what to do. This picture is from another event there, don't really like the...

Okay...how stinken cute are these dresses??? And how cute would they be as a flower girl dress??? I love how non-traditional they are and that the little girls look so incredibly cute in them. I bet they were just loving these dresses! Not to...

We are headed to Secrets St. James, Jamaica tomorrow, and we've been going back and forth about tipping. We've googled our little fingers off and haven't found a definitive answer (I suspect because there isn't one). So what did you do on your...

3 days to go ladies, and all is calm so far! I just finished up my last DIY this morning, the paper flowers we are going to hang on the gazebo where we are going to get married, and everything else is pretty much set! We are still awaiting our final...

So, I've been MIA on WW for a few days because my last few days of work before the wedding were insane, our cat, Goose, has been in and out of the hospital (we finally got an answer from a specialist on Friday -- he needs surgery, but he should be a...

I made my veil, my hair flower, and my dress sash in white, trusting the tag on my dress and my memory, and then tried everything on to discover MY DRESS IS IVORY. I'm such an idiot! Excuse me while I flip out!!!

That is all:

We ordered our programs finally from Vistaprint (oversized postcards) and I can't wait for them to get here! Wanted to share:

I'm using the trace pre-printed addresses onto envelopes using a lightbox method, but I'm not happy with my pen. It looks like this one, but black. The "brush" side is too thick and the fine point side is too thin — it's showing every little wobble I...

I put together personalized tote bags with beach stuff (beach towel, water bottle, puzzle books, magazines, sunscreen and makeup bag with lotion, body wash, lip gloss, pedicure tool, nail polish, etc.) for my bridesmaids as a thank you for throwing...

I just got back from JoAnn's where I decided on a whim to make my own chapel-length mantilla veil. Those suckers are SUPER expensive, and I got 3.5 yards of tulle and 6 yards of lace trim for $13. A plastic comb can't be more than a few dollars. Big...

My shower is tomorrow, and I've been a big choked up mess all week, thinking about how lucky I am to be so loved and to have my wonderful bridesmaids and family doing all that they are doing for me. {Crap, here come the tears again!} I know we all...

So, I got it in my head that I wanted fun flag drink stirrers, I don't know from where, and this DIY was born! It only took a couple of hours, and was easy to do while watching a movie. I used wooded drink stirrers and washi tape. Cut into two inch...
