Wedding Blog

HOJO was my date this entire weekend as we roamed around DC looking for wedding inspiration. First stop: the opening reception of the Design S exhibition. The exhibit showcased the nominees for the Swedish Design award, all of which focused on the importance of design for functions, communications, and business. Fun fun fun fun fun.

After a couple glasses of wine, I decided this was my favorite. It’s a complete graphic design concept for the Japanese company, Askul, designed by Stockholm Design Lab. I really have no eye for art, but it looked super cool and my mind kept drifting towards packaging ideas for our OOT bags. Since HOJO’s focus is print design, she kept pointing out different design principles to consider. I kept asking her about the elusive pen tool in Adobe Illustrator.

Next stop: the Crate & Barrel wedding party registry event. HOJO sent me the info on this, which quickly reminded me of Miss Latte’s recent outing. I’ve never stepped into a C&P and was pleasantly surprised with all the goods. BM Vdubbs made a quick appearance, devoured some muffins, and went on her way to rescue her sister who was stranded in the middle of the road without gas. She had been on my ass asking when the Save the Dates were going out, and finally gave me kudos for getting them out the door.

While I looked at table settings and other decor…

HOJO kept busy handling my biz. Isn’t she awesome?! I came ill-prepared for this event with absolutely no sense of what to register for. Mr P has been out of town for awhile, so we haven’t even touched upon this subject… ever. In the meantime, I thank my lucky stars for my beautiful bridesmaids. HOJO and Vdubbs are only 2 of the 5, but man, I love ‘em all to pieces. Since I lack focus, each of them keep tabs on what I need to do, and send me friendly reminders throughout the month. Thanks gals!

How are your bridesmaids motivating you?
