I’m still here! I’m almost done, I swear. I just came back from my refreshing and relaxing honeymoon, which thankfully went off without a hitch. Unlike my wedding. Remember? Many of you wanted to know more details of my canceled/redone/thrown-together-in-five-seconds wedding, and I’m here to give them to you! After I got over the fact [...]
Hello friends! I’ve been MIA the past two weeks because I have been frantically preparing for my wedding! I have had several lovely experiences during that time that I will forever remember. I had an amazing and successful bachelorette party on Martha’s Vineyard followed by an adorable rehearsal dinner barbecue in the backyard of my [...]
Dun dun dunnnnnn. That was supposed to be a dramatic sound effect after I revealed our music source for our wedding, however sound effects aren’t properly portrayed via text. That’s right, the fiance and I have opted for an iPod wedding, complete with a laborious playlist. Luckily for us, our venue offers a ready made [...]
While the rest of my posts have been about color schemes, décor, and projects, this post is going to be about the most important aspect of wedding planning: taking care of yourself!

I am somewhat of a perfectionist and a lot of a control freak so accepting the help when offered is another problem all together. Recently while looking over my ever growing [when it should be shrinking] to-do list, I realized that [...]
When it came to favors the fiance and I knew we didn’t really want to trot down the traditional path.We knew we wanted something unique and if possible something that represented us as a couple. As I’m sure everyone reading this blog is aware, that is a tall order for something being ordered in bulk [...]
I am seriously addicted to online research. Can you be addicted to such a thing? Before every decision I make I hop on the interwebs and check out the situation, ie; reviews, deals, coupons, etc. Wedding invitations were no exception to this illness. I ordered packet after packet of free samples from companies and spent [...]
Almost as soon as I got engaged I knew I was opting out of wedding cake and opening my arms to the new trend of wedding cupcakes. I mean come on, cupcakes! What is better than a cupcake! Luckily for me, my fiance was on board and my brother’s baker girlfriend offered to whip them [...]
If there is one thing I have learned while wedding dress shopping and figuring out centerpieces, it’s that it is a little too easy to forget about the guys! Over time I had conjured up a picture of what I wanted the guys to look like at our wedding, but I realized one day that [...]
