One of the small diamonds on the band of my engagement ring fell off a couple of months ago. I have yet to get it fixed because I usually just wear my wedding band. This got me to thinking recently about how much importance a lot of girls place on engagement rings. The carat. The cut. The color. The clarity. It has to be from…

This site modgirl is so cute! It doesn’t have that much content, but it does have some good links to vendors. The woman behind paper-girl designed the site.

Invitations from Fete. Many more cute pictures on their site! Lots of original stuff but very pricey.

I’m afraid that when my daughter gets married one day, I will be a MOMZILLA.

$20 - $30 invitations from Paper Girl. The designer is Asian so she has lots of Asian themed invitations on her site.

There’s a weddingthings store open in Manhattan!

Some of you are wondering why I’m doing everything for my brother’s wedding. My brother’s fiance is from Korea and moved here a couple of months ago. She doesn’t speak English nor does she know what goes into planning an American wedding. My brother, being a guy of course, is very happy to leave all the details to me. It’s been a challenge coordinating with…

I forgot where I got this idea from (I think it was my aunt), but I’m planning on doing an “icebreaker game.” We’re going to tape winning tickets underneath chairs before the reception. When all the guests take their seats, we’re going to ask them to look for a winning ticket under their seats. Winners will come up to the dance floor to collect prizes.…

I needed wedding invitations asap and the fastest turnaround I could find was at mygatsby. The bride’s side is all coming from Korea so they don’t need invites - these are mostly for our parents’ friends. I liked these fall themed invitations from Papeterie but they would have taken too long to print.

I found a similar invitation - the Madison - at mygatsby. Here’s the…

I went to a food tasting with my brother’s fiance and Mr. Bee on Friday at the wedding venue. My brother couldn’t make it because he was working and he’s fine leaving all the decisions up to his crazy sister. When we arrived, a private room was set up complete with place settings, a bread basket, and chilled champagne!

There were even cute little pats of…

So to save on costs my best friend’s lil sister who does graphic design said that she would create our invitations and programs as our wedding gift. Woohoo!

So since I’m sticking with the green theme here are a few that I like:

manifesto letterpress - this was in the fall issue of Martha Stewart weddings:

Isn’t it beautiful? I love how it’s so detailed. I’m sorry if…

I want to do a food favor for my brother’s wedding because they’re practical and economical (since I’m paying for them). I’m deciding between chocolate (leaves or truffles), jordan almonds, and marzipan.

This is the jordan almond autumn mix or I could do pink and orange to match the color scheme.

If I do the marzipan, I’ll package one of each into a see through bag or…

I made these for the girls back in September. The blank printed cards were designed by Elum and I bought it from a stationery store in Hoboken, NJ. I made a stencil of a dress, traced it on the envelope, cut it out, and outlined the dress with a sharpie marker and drew a hanger. Then I wrote up a poem to each individual bridesmaid…

Everyone danced so much at my wedding that by the end of the night the women were carrying their shoes. Even I changed into slippers halfway through the reception and my heels weren’t that high. For my brother’s wedding, I’m making a slipper basket so the women can dance the night away and rest their weary feet in comfy slippers.

It’s a 100 person wedding and…
