About Mrs. Ballet Flat

After we left the church, we stayed outside with all of our family and friends leaving the church to thank them. The photographer caught quite a few of these, but here are the most notable thoughts that I had going in my head during those Kodak moments.

Dearest Mizz K,
Thank you for allowing me to be a party pooper at 2AM in NOLA. I know you…

About Mrs. Ballet Flat

After we took our vows, we were all smiles. I mean, how could we NOT be? We were MARRIED! Eek!

However, we forgot one key thing. We were still in church, where you are supposed to pretty much be quiet and pay attention, but we were busting at the seams with happiness. So, what did we do?

About Mrs. Ballet Flat

After a successful walk down the aisle, it was time to make it official. Mr. Ballet Flat and I are both Catholic, so we had a full Mass for our ceremony.

Since we were married before the Pentecost, the church was still decorated for the Easter season. I’ll give you this picture in color, since it is absolutely beautiful.

I loved all of the Easter arrangements that…

Our NOLA Nuptials: Walk It Out

September 28th, 2009 @ 11:55 am by Mrs. Ballet Flat

After we ladies got glammed up, it was time to get in the limos and head to the church. The great thing is, my parents live less than a mile away from the church, so it took literally no time to get there.

My bridesmaids and I walked in the church and stood in a small area between the two sets of double doors and just…

A Bee’s Life: Ballet Flat Edition

September 10th, 2009 @ 1:02 pm by Mrs. Ballet Flat

I remember 7 years ago sitting in my college dorm room, hooking my laptop up to the Internet for the first time ever. That’s right folks, my freshman year of college started my whole Internet experience. Prior to that, I thought the computer was for writing English papers and fighting with my siblings as to who could play Oregon Trail next.

I was slowly introduced…

Oh my goodness, does time fly! It’s been far too long since a recap from this ‘bee blogger!

Where were we? Ah yes, after the miraculous poofs, sprays and the whole getting dressed-thing, more people started to arrive.

Daddy Ballet Flat finished mowing the lawn, so it was time for him to come inside and get himself all gussied up. Then, the florist came to drop off…

About Mrs. Ballet Flat

The day started for us at 7:45AM. As always, I hit snooze on my alarm a few times and finally rolled out of bed. Yes, folks, I slept pretty darn soundly the night before our big day! This Ballet Flat was tired and sleep is always welcome!

The hair/makeup people were scheduled to show up at 8:30, so it was no rush to brush my teeth…

About Mrs. Ballet Flat

After a girls night out, it was time to get down to business! I was nervous about the rehearsal, because, well, you practice this once, and I didn’t want to be the bride who messed it up!

The evening, once again, had traffic issues. There was a bad accident on the interstate, so all of Mr. BF’s side didn’t make it to the church on time.…

About Mrs. Ballet Flat

While I didn’t do this for our wedding since I was already DIYing a lot for our wedding and the cake was included with the reception venue, I know quite a few brides have considered the idea of a DIY wedding cake. It does take a lot of work and preparation, but in the end, you can save major moo-lah and STILL have a beautiful…

Woah… That Happened Fast!

July 8th, 2009 @ 3:02 pm by Mrs. Ballet Flat

Remember when I was on a mission to lose weight? I was doing pretty darn well… 20 lbs. down. My, how things have changed since the wedding!

I found myself not caring about going to get a meal at Chick Fil-A, eating ice cream everyday, and only working out 1-2 times a week, if that. What happened to me? I gained 10, count that, 10 POUNDS back…

I’m Feeling Crafty!

June 30th, 2009 @ 4:41 pm by Mrs. Ballet Flat

You know, I’ve been pretty content post-wedding as far as no more planning goes. I know a lot of brides get withdrawals from anticipating the big day or even from planning. I mean, you plan for anywhere from months to a few years, and it’s all over in a day? That’s kind of a bummer, don’t you think? Well, I don’t miss the contracts, the…

Our Programs

June 24th, 2009 @ 2:18 pm by Mrs. Ballet Flat

I am such a procrastinator. I ended up making these programs the week of the wedding, and I really didn’t dedicate much effort to these. I just knew I had a bunch of teal scraps from our pocketfolds, and thought that I could pull off a layered program with this.

So, here is how they came out. I will explain my mistakes in this post, since…
