With my wedding dress being chosen so much has become clearer! Every time I look at the pictures of my dress, I am overwhelmed with ideas. I miss the beach, so I immediately start thinking of something whimsical, marine, vintage, subtle… and then it’s a train wreck of unfortunate splatter paintings in my head. That’s … Continue reading
I read in the Spring 2012 issue of The Knot that the average bride tries on three wedding dresses before she finds the one she wants. THREE!? When I read the article, I had been shopping once and tried on six dresses. I had a little five second panic attack. Of the six dresses I … Continue reading
I’ve said this before– but I think the lamest thing you can do is put your bridesmaids in intentionally ugly dresses. And people do it a lot. Seriously. I’ve set aside a good amount of time thinking about dresses for Jammer and Sissy but it’s hard to just guess what will look good on anybody … Continue reading

I’ve always loved clothes… and I’ve also always been very particular about clothes. This, of course, means it’s going to take me the full ten months … Continue reading
Our wedding date is: October Seventh, 2012! We went back and forth about whether we wanted to do our wedding on a Saturday or Sunday. Price was a big determining factor (You’d be amazed at how much more it is to have a wedding on a Friday night than say…a Monday.) But we … Continue reading
So it’s 2012. The holidays and life in general sort of put my wedding planning on the back burner… but I woke up sometime in early January and thought, “Oh man. I’ve got ten months. I need to get it together.” Since then I have started looking at dresses, researching caterers and thinking about colors. … Continue reading
For some reason I’ve really been into the idea of using old glass at my wedding. I stumbled across a ReadyMade article about Mason Jars: And it got me thinking about all of my lush friends and the wine bottles they undoubtedly have. Look at all the neat things you can do! (IMAGE … Continue reading
