This installment of my ‘Looking Back’ series* focuses on one of the details about my big day that I am very, very grateful for:I was able to work out a way for my dad to participate.

My father is a wonderful, amazing man. I am so incredibly fortunate to be loved by someone with such a big heart. As ridiculously sentimental as this sounds, two of…

This installment of my ‘Looking Back’ series* focuses on one of the details about my big day that I wish I had done differently:I wish I had had someone test out our directions to the venue prior to sending out our map.

This installment of my ‘Looking Back’ series* focuses on one of the details about my big day that I am incredibly thankful for:I am so very, very happy that I planned to have all of my planning done the weekend before our wedding.

If you recall, I had quite a lot of DIY elements to my wedding:

This installment of my ‘Looking Back’ series * focuses on one of the details about my big day that I wish I had done differently.

Basically, every single wedding I have ever attended, has started late. Apparently this is not uncommon, as every time I mentioned to anyone-who-would-listen that our wedding would NOT start late, people just started hysterically laughing at me.

So, I made sure that…

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

Well, I just found a lovely little Custom Designed Paper Purse maker who has named her company, “How Cute is This?” and I can tell you the name does not lie.

Each of these gems below are hand made by Iris Adams from the most beautiful papers.…

…Mrs Corn here, reporting the final installment of our visit to Paper-Source this weekend for their wedding event. Earlier installments include:

Defending oneself from Miss Toucan brandishing a hot embossing torch
and
Satiating our appetites for both yummy sweets and delectably calligraphic writing

By far, the most exciting thing that happened during our visit to the store was that we (or rather, our Weddingbee shirts) were recognised by Hayley…

…from the wedding event at Paper-Source.

We were all exhausted from our crafting-gone-wild experiment, making our lovely, embossed take-out boxes. Luckily, I can smell wedding cake from a mile away and I was able to focus our energies on getting to the other side of the store where there was a cake tasting!

Miss Canary came to Boston this weekend for a visit and included a stop at the Paper-Source in Brookline in her itinerary. The store was holding their annual wedding workshop complete with demonstrations and refreshments.

Miss Toucan and I, never ones to miss an opportunity for free cake (not to mention the opportunity to meet Miss Canary in person), took it upon ourselves to meet up…

It has been forever since our wedding but I never got around to sharing with you all what about the day I would do again, and what about the day I would do over.

I’m going to start with the former for this post.

Well, Mrs Snow pea TOTALLY inspired me to make a wedding planning blurb book.

Back when I was first engaged (ok… why lie… it was at least a month before we got engaged ), I purchased a wedding planning book. I had done some research in the bookstores and I had experience as a planner myself, so I knew what I was looking for.

Unfortunately, the most perfect book for me, was also spiral bound. So I bought it, demolished…

Last week, Mrs Onion blogged about the Real Simple Weddings book that just came out. I was able to get a copy and have just finished pouring through it.

I highly recommend this book if you are at the beginning of your planning for your wedding. The information in it is mostly the same as what you see in most wedding magazines… I mean, let’s face…

So…many, many moons ago, I posted about our non-existent wedding budget that had originally started out around $5,000 when we were joking around, hovered around $20,000 for a while and ended up around $30,000.We had a very complex vendor spreadsheet with all of our payments (cash and credit) that we worked with for most of the planning. However, in addition to the vendor spreadsheet, I…

…otherwise more aptly titled, “The things we do for love”.

You see…Mr Corn and his cousin share the same New Year’s Eve birthday. Thirteen years ago, when Mr Corn turned 21, he made a promise to his cousin that he would take her to do anything she wanted, which included going anywhere in the United States 1st Class, when she turned 21.

Just came inside from taking a few pics of our house in the snow we have been receiving for the past three days. I figured I would post one since it looks so festive.

Mr Corn and I are headed to PA for the holiday and then on to California for New Years. In order to travel more lightly, we opened up a lot of our…
