I still have to contact the florist re: the sample centerpiece she made. I was surfing online for ideas and came across an arrangement I liked in a similar color scheme (without the yellow flowers). I had to take pictures of the computer screen with my camera.

I even like simple tulip arrangements. And I love floating candles.

I like how fabric is wrapped around the vases…

This is a sample centerpiece our florist did for us. It doesn’t include fall berries which she says weren’t available now but will be around the time of the wedding. Maybe it’s just that I don’t really like hydrangeas mixed with other flowers. I think hydrangeas usually only look good on their own. I’m not too crazy about the greenery and I’d like bolder shades…

My mom is buying four “adult” gifts for the games we’re playing at the wedding. For the “kids” I bought: 1) first season of Lost, 2) first season of 24, 3) a bottle of patron, and 4) a $50 gift certificate to Cheesecake Factory.

Now I need to come up with games that don’t require a lot of explanation since up to 40% of the guests may…

I could not have asked for more beautiful engagement photos! Thank you, Tony.

Capturing life’s moments is Tony’s passion, not his career. This means that sometimes Tony is not the most professional photographer. On the day of our shoot, we had to push it back because he was running late. But it also…

Mission Impossible theme song for the bouquet toss. Do you love it? Or is it too cheesy? Haha or how about the Rocky theme song?

I’m filling out a reception planner for our DJ and it’s pretty amazing how many songs you have to choose for each little event.

• processional
• bride’s entrance
• recessional
• grand entrance
• first dance
• parent dance songs
• bouquet toss song
• garter toss song
• cake cutting song
• last song

Pretty amazing how many little decisions go into planning a wedding huh? Are you using any original songs?

Oh my goodness. I most likely have to give a toast at my brother’s wedding, but I’ve tried not to think about it. But I need to start writing my speech now!

The 10 Commandments Of Toasting

1. Plan to speak from 1 to 4 minutes. No one wants to be bored with an extraordinarily long toast covering the entirety of your friendship. With wedding toasts,…

I posted these lottery ticket holders from Bliss Weddings Market a long time ago, but pc1004rn just reminded me about them because she’s giving lotto tickets as favors at her wedding.

Since we’re doing a chocolate fountain, I don’t want to give chocolate as favors anymore. Most wedding favors are just cheesy cheap tchotchkes that guests never use. (omg I can’t believe I got the spelling of that right - I just checked!) And no one wants to spend a lot on favors either - I’d say most people spend about $1-$2 per favor. I spent…

I wanted a chocolate fountain for my wedding. Then again I wanted a lighting designer, ice sculptures, sparklers, and a partridge in a pear tree. But you gotta cut back the expenses somewhere. My brother loves the idea of a chocolate fountain for his wedding though so yesterday I contacted Chocolate Sensations after seeing it on HereComestheBridezilla’s site. I love sharing vendors!

The cream puff and…

Maybe hate is a strong term, but it wasn’t the dress. The problem of course is that it was the dress my mother had paid for already. Problem.

Last week I went back to Mark Ingram, the bridal salon where I ordered my wedding dress, to be re-measured for my dress (I needed to lose a little weight so that they could order a smaller size). I…

Why are wedding dresses soooo darn expensive??!
Or maybe what I really should be asking is…
Why is my taste in wedding dresses soooo darn expensive??!!
