I didn’t think I’d be too inspired by wedding hairstyles, but this…. this is captivating -
…what do you think? Too much hairspray? 
Have you found some inspiration for a more au naturale wedding hairstyle? Any suggestions?
Mr. M’s groomsmen wrote me some really nice postcards while in Milwaukee for the bachelor party last weekend. They’ve started to arrive in the mail. Check this one out.

When Matt and Angie met at the Glastonbury Festival it was love at first sight. Only one problem; Matt had just moved from the UK to sunny Australia. Six months later Angie followed her heart and joined Matt down under. When they decided to get married, they found themselves in a bit of a pickle. They needed a spot somewhere in between the UK and Australia, so that family and friends, both old and new, would be able to join them on their big day.
The answer was Bali.
On the day the 38 guests joined Matt and Angie at Villa Pemutih in Bingin. Overlooking the Indian Ocean - and with monkeys in the trees - we all experienced a very special day. Angie wore a vintage 1950s dress she found in London, the girls got their stunning purple dresses made after they arrived in Bali, and the boys looked equally dapper in grey and blue. Everything had a local touch, even the welcome drinks tasted of Bali with ginger and lemongrass keeping people cool in the tropic sun.
Both Matt and Angie are in to yoga, Angie even teaches classes in Sydney. The ceremony even started with all the guest doing a two minute “om” together with their eyes closed. It was also the first time I’ve seen a groom standing on his head in the bathroom while the guests were arriving outside, and it still made perfect sense.
In fact, most things made perfect sense, during the speeches groomsmen and bridesmaids shared photos and clips from both their lives on a huge screen. It was truly fantastic.
Come to think of it, everything was perfect.

“Make an elegant invitation statement without the fuss. Stylish invitation sets with matching envelopes, reception and response cards included.”
When we first started planning, my mom was insistent that we get a wedding planner. As someone who has been married twice (once without a planner and once with!), she said it was the best money she ever spent to have someone running the day.
Well, I was pretty positive that our budget wouldn’t allow for a wedding planner, so I set about doing all the work myself. I was totally fine with it, although I slowly began to realize that, even though I’ve been willing to work long and hard on all the little wedding details thus far, I had no idea how everything was going to get taken care of on the actual day. Both of our families live out-of-state, so they haven’t been involved in the day-to-day planning and I didn’t know who to ask to run things.
One day, while scanning the Weddingbee classifieds, I saw an offer for a free Day of Coordinator in NYC. I immediately emailed, but had already been beat to the punch by other bees!

Create the honeymoon of your dreams.
Since not all our guests are familiar with Old City — the quaint, historical, and art-gallery-rich area of Philly where our reception will be held — I thought a map might be a great way to show some of the surrounding spots. When I contacted Heather from Pantomime Papers about this idea, she quickly agreed — she was, at the time, working to build her portfolio — and sent me some inspiration maps so we could figure out what look would be the best fit. (The following images are from here.)
Because you see, when you drink and DIY, you’re bound to make mistakes. Mistakes that you’ll likely have to go back and fix. Especially when you and one of your MOHs get together after a year of being in separate countries, and um, a box of Franzia (I mean, they were all out of Andre… what do you expect).
This led to the exposure of my inner mathematical genius… where 50 - 15 = 45. And where I forgot to purchase half of the ribbon we’d need (okay… I did that one sober). Not to mention inside out belly band bows and tissue paper flowers with *slight* differences.
Mr. Bunny is a huge zombie-movie fan, so there’s no way he could resist attending the third annual Zombie Walk Columbus, downtown, earlier this month!
In case you’ve never heard of them, zombie walks are mostly a great excuse for people to dress up and scare others when it’s not Halloween.
Kidding, kind of. Really, it’s a fun canned food drive for the Mid-Ohio Food Bank. “Raise the dead to feed the living” is their slogan. Clever, right?
Mr. Bunny wasn’t too keen on attending our shower in his hometown a few weeks ago, so I made him a deal. I’d go to the Zombie Walk if he came to the shower. Nice guy that he is, he didn’t make me dress up.

I’m not sure when, but at some point I decided that for the Dude’s and my engagement shoot, I must have the perfect 1950s-style red dress. I started off by searching online for hours on eBay, Amazon, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Target, and, of course, Posh Girl Vintage. I even trolled Etsy, but every time I typed in “1950s dress” the results were just too overwhelming to search thoroughly. I was having absolutely no luck!
Sometimes I envision a certain item in my mind to the point where it is so specific that it will probably never be found. Kinda like searching for a needle in a haystack!
This is basically what i had in mind, but with a fuller skirt:
Our first dance is a high priority for Mr Piglet. So much so, he wants to wake up at the butt crack of dawn, walk to the beach, and practice our moves… everyday. For the record, it didn’t happen this morning. 
But he did last Sunday (by himself), and practiced his steps for a solid half hour. WOW. My jaw dropped when he told me this. He’s really serious!
All this dancing talk prompted me to (finally) search for the perfect pair of dancing shoes to go with my beloved dress! In case you forgot, I am the third owner of this twice-loved dress. The length is a wee-bit long, but some higher heels should do the trick to bring it up a notch.
So that was the first requirement, the heel height. No wait. I lied. The first requirement was that the shoes were to be yellow and have rosettes! I love rosette adornments! and they must have an ankle strap! Basically, I wanted the same shoes as Weddingbee Pro, Chelsea Petaja.
Oh, this picture never gets old! 
So, the hunt began.
Our engagement pictures are in!!!
Kyle was really awesome to work with. There was a whole slew of locations I wanted to shoot at in La Serena, and she entertained all of them! Even though we’re getting married in the States, we thought it appropriate to document part of our lives in South America.
Let’s take a tour of our little town in Chile, shall we?
We started our paparazzi craziness in the Plaza de Armas - downtown old La Serena. This is where we take our Spanish lessons, and it’s got a great colonial feel to it, complete with beautiful gardens and old Spanish architecture.
We created a chart using the reception venue rental costs of all the Bees who shared their budgets. The mean cost was $2878, and the median cost was $1900. Where does your venue fall?

Hey hive, the Peeps are back (do you remember us?). And surprise, surprise, we are married! Woo hooo! The wedding was an amazing experience, and I still have to remind myself that it happened and that I am a MRS!!! Someone pinch me! If it didn’t say Mrs. Peep Toe above, I almost wouldn’t believe it!!
I don’t like a bragger, but peeps (by peeps, I mean guests) have been describing the wedding with one word—perfect!! And while I know of a couple (dozen) imperfections here and there, it was a perfect day.
After the big event we spent almost two weeks on an amazing adventure honeymoon in Panama. Again, the word perfect could be used to describe our trip, evidenced here by a sneak peek photo taken from our over-water bungalow (even our family hasn’t seen any pics yet):
Unfortunately, upon returning from our trip we were thrust right back into a very bad reality.
