If you are like me, you have been following (and drooling endlessly over) Mrs. Powder Puff’s gorgeous recaps. And in case you missed it, her bridesmaids had some ridiculously awesome dresses. So when I realized I needed yet another dress (not that I am complaining, of course) for the bridal tea I will be having the day before the wedding, Mrs. Powder Puff’s girls were there with the perfect solution. About a week ago I ordered Anthropologie’s Behind the Clouds dress. If the name isn’t a sign, then I just don’t know what is…

I want to start by saying that I still absolutely adore ourinvitations. They turned out just the way I had hoped, and the response from our guests over them has been better than I could have imagined. With that being said however, hindsight is always 20/20. I started looking at invites before I had even found Weddingbee, or the endless supply of wedding blogs and…

I haven’t written any posts with tons and tons of beautiful pictures of what I might want our invites to look like. I also haven’t been stalking Etsy for the most stunning designs, or even playing in Adobe trying to make my own. In fact, I haven’t thought about our invites in over six months. Why? Am I a crazy bride who is leaving this…

I have always been the type of gal to be willing to give the latest and greatest beauty products and treatments a whirl. And with our wedding being under three months away, I find myself really looking for any way to put my best self forward for the big day. All of those suggestions you all gave me after my makeup trial for the best…

I recently have been stuck on the things that will be my “lasts” before I become a Mrs. It all started in July when I celebrated my 25th birthday, and for some reason it hit me that it was my very last birthday as a single gal. I got the oil changed on my car yesterday and again couldn’t help thinking it would be the…

My very long list of things to do includes a lot of items for our ceremony, including décor, programs, etc. However, nowhere on that list was actually writing the ceremony. Mr. Cloud and I were both born and raised Catholic, and preparing to have a full Catholic mass with our ceremony left me to assume we would just be told what to say and where…

My name is Miss Cloud and I am a Facebook wedding stalker. It’s true, I admit it. And I’m fairly certain this is not a normal behavior. I just can’t help myself—if anyone has a big white dress in their profile picture, I will be checking out every single one of their pictures in hopes for another peek at the wedding. Even if I don’t…

I know I know, everyone told me not to worry about a little spelling typo. Everyone said that no one would even notice. But I was losing sleep over one stupid little “S”, and someone was bound to notice. A guest at the wedding would very quietly mention that I had a small error on the menus assuming that I hadn’t already noticed. And then…

I found a pleasant little surprise in my mailbox today and I am just so freakin’ excited about it, that I can hardly handle it! My fabulous bridesmaids, headed up by my amazing MOH, have been scheming and planning a very mysterious bachelorette weekend in Baltimore, MD. I’ve been curious from the beginning, but now I have a super cute invite with some very strange…

I now have a large and in charge to do list, so I figured I should also explain how I am getting organized in other ways, as well. When we got engaged I was overwhelmed with ideas that I was pulling from magazines and printing off of my favorite blogs and websites. I needed a system to organize everything, and one day I came across…

In an attempt to regain my sanity after hitting the mother of all roadblocks, I decided to take the advice of a few fellow bees and super smart hive members. My first plan of action was to lay out what needs to be done. I love lists; I love crossing things off and feeling accomplished afterward (yeah, sometimes I write things down I already did…

I have to say when we started planning, videography didn’t even make it on to the list of things we were concerned about or wanted to spend money on. A large majority of the wedding videos I had seen up to that point had been pretty boring—think single camera fixed on the bride and groom set to Enya’s greatest hits. Something like that was not…

If there was ever a reason to call it a wedding “party” it would be when referring to the crazy cast that will be standing up for us on our big day. We have an eclectic group of lifelong friends, family members, sorority sisters, and other crazy characters. Nine on each side to be exact. Yeah, that’s a LOT! One best man, one maid of…

Here we are a little over three months out and it has finally happened. After planning for months and months I have finally hit a full blown wedding roadblock. I have heard of it happening to brides before—when you get to the point where the planning has taken on a life of its own, and the to do list is so long it’s flat out…

My MOH has proven to be quite a resourceful gal through my planning period, and makeup was no exception. She is a former Chanel makeup artist, so I was definitely looking to her to find me someone fabulous at a reasonable price to do me and my girls on the big day. So, off we went to visit Abegail, her good friend, who still works…
