Wedding Blog

I am horrible at keeping secrets. So I have no idea why I ever thought I could keep our pending engagement a secret from my friends… especially when I am soooo excited! I definitely leaked out the impression that an engagement was right around the corner. *SIGH* So much for the element of surprise.

VENUE IDEAS

What we’re looking for:
1) Outdoor ceremony
2) Chinese banquet reception
3) New Jersey…

I saw some more flower ideas that I thought would go with the orange/peach theme and thought I would post so I have them for easy reference (this is like my virtual scrap book for the wedding!).

I love these and think it would work for both me, the BMs and/or something similar as table arrangments!

I like the look of Orange and Hot Pink, but…

MK just sent flowers to my office (I sorta started a new job last week). The card says:

“Something to Brighten Your New Office. I Love you. MK”

How sweet is he???? Course, I’m going to have to take them home since it’s Friday, so they’ll be brightening up my dining room instead.

What do y’all think of this color combo? Please ignore the types of flowers for now. I just want to make sure there are color combos (both for BM dresses and flowers) that go well with the Monique Lhullier dress before ordering it!

Orange/peach isn’t what I had originally envisioned for a June wedding, but I think it will work nicely. The idea would be…

The graft: Back…

I sent my wedding dress to be cleaned and preserved at J. Scheer after the wedding and just got it back this week. I needed to get it cleaned, but getting it preserved was only $100 more so I figured why not. It took three months for me to get the dress back.

I initially planned on selling my dress after the wedding to justify how…

Some BM dresses I like (all from Jim Hjelm).

I don’t want strapless dresses for the BM’s. I also like these BM dresses (minus the flower on the left), but not with the Monique Lhiullier dress.

Maybe with this Angel Sanchez dress??? I need to make an appointment at Saks - they carry both Monique Lhiullier and Angel Sanchez.

This is the timeline of when I booked each wedding vendor. It’s something I’m doing for my website, but I thought that it might be helpful to some brides out there. Keep in mind that we had 6 months to plan the wedding and had an off season wedding so it was a lot easier to get the vendors we wanted. We got engaged on…

i just read this in the paper a few days ago but the longest marriage ever was recorded in the guiness book of world records on june 1st of this month. the husband, 105 years old, his wife, 100. the husband passed away a few days ago. How cute are they?

WORLD’S LONGEST MARRIAGE OVER
Percy Arrowsmith, who with his wife set the record two weeks ago…

I called Pamela Cravens today who is the “house florist” for Battery Gardens. I don’t *have* to use her, but I like the work that’s on her website and she’s not supposed to be crazy expensive.

Since my wedding is next June, I thought this would be a good time to start thinking about the flowers. Whatever is in season now should be in season for…

I went browsing for a card for some good friends who recently became engaged.. and found this treasure of a comic!

And I looooove this card!!! Haha!

In case you can’t make it out, the wise old lady says “If you meet Mr. Right, make sure his first name isn’t Always.”

Soooo true! My beloved Mr. D is definitely my Mr. Always Right. Aahh, but I still…

I saw the most amazing video clip the other day on theknot. The videographers are from Philadelphia - Tangerine Media Group. The clip is just a “wedding recap” - basically the wedding in 2 1/2 minutes and is from a bride whose knot screenname is DRZBride.

I don’t feel right posting a direct link to the clip, since well, it’s her wedding, but there is…

I think I found some bridesmaids dresses I like and that will go well with the wedding dress I love and tried on at Kleinfelds. I know… I know… I should post a picture of the dress, but I sort of don’t want everyone to see it. Especially since MK knows about this site and I DEFINiTELY don’t want him getting an advance peek!!!

Anyway,…
