M Is For Monogram
February 29th, 2008 @ 12:55 pm by Mrs. Toucan
After attempting to make my own monograms in PowerPoint, I decided to ask my cousin for some help. You see, the monograms I had made for myself were fine and all, but I really wanted to use something that reflected a little more personality. I had all these ideas on how to I wanted my ideal monogram to look like, but I didn’t have a clue on how to execute them. My cousin, who is finishing up her college degree in fine arts and computer science, was the perfect person to ask for some help! Check it out:
The Chosen Monogram
J’adore D’Orsay!

Way, way back, I mean like a year ago way back, I unexpectedly stumbled across a pair of shoes whilst looking for wedding inspiration. They were a lovely pair of d’orsay pumps in a gorgeous, dusty pale pink. Even though they were posed and fuzzy in the background of the picture, I was in love.
‘You should buy these,’ said my impulsive self. ‘Go ahead, get it out of the way.’
‘Wait a minute there, girly,’ chimed in the more rational side. ‘The wedding is over a year away. You haven’t even looked for a dress. You don’t know what other shoes might be out there. Wait a month or two. Look around. If you still love them, then buy them.’
In Paris they say you should dress from the shoes up and I wish that I had heard that adage before a few nights ago because what did I do? I waited. I looked. And I saw nothing that inspired the same warm fuzzies as these shoes. Unfortunately by this time, InStyle weddings had featured them in their magazine and inspired warm fuzzies in many brides. It was too late. My shoes were sold out.

La Piece De Resistance
February 29th, 2008 @ 11:15 am by Mrs. Flamingo
After months and months of pulling out my hair because I had no ideas…. I finally found what I was going to do for my invitations. I wanted something vintage looking, with various elements and a uniqueness to each piece.
Thanks to Mr. Flamingo, the ball started rolling with just 5 little words, “Why not use a chandelier?” Why didn’t I think of that? Honestly I did, but I was afraid that the whole movie aspect was lacking. In the end, I’m really happy with the outcome.

How many times have you caught yourself saying that exact phrase about some wonderful thing that has caught your eye?

I Feel Dirty

I confess. There are a few things about my wedding that I haven’t blogged about. Here’s a biggie: my bachelorette party. If this doesn’t pique your interest, I don’t know what will:

The Good Kind of Pain
February 29th, 2008 @ 8:26 am by Mrs. Spider
I’ve said before that making my wedding invitations nearly killed me. The pain was truly awful. So awful it felt good. So good that when it finally came time to make invitations for my cousin’s bridal shower, I couldn’t wait to subject myself to the pain again. Thankfully this time, I only needed to make 20 (as opposed to the 120 multi-piece invitations I made for my wedding).
The theme of the shower is pretty simple: Pink and Fun.
Thanks Now, Thanks Later

Our first wedding gift rolled in a couple weeks ago! Four months early, wowwie! I think I’ll always remember these Salt and Pepper mills as “our first gift.” Were making memories here, people!
Cole and Mason Tower Mills, Williams Sonoma
I hadn’t even started to think about Thank You cards… I was going to take care of that after the wedding. But with the shower coming up, I realize that more than one set of Thank You cards may be in order. I’ve never been one to notice exactly when we’ve received Thank You’s from weddings/showers I’ve attended, but now that the tables are turned, I want to make sure I make an adequate attempt at “doing the right thing…” even though I’m not exactly sure what that means.
