Love at The Ranch: The Day Before

November 6th, 2009 @ 12:22 pm by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

I can’t recommend this enough: in the days leading up to your wedding, do yoga. Whether it’s by yourself or at a class, it will allow you to give yourself to the moment which is all you can ask for at wedding time: to be present.

*This recipe actually belongs to Bridesmaid Georgia’s mom and was only featured in The Cowboy Boots’ out-of-town bags. Luckily, The Georgias were generous enough to share it with us! Believe me, this is good, people! There were trades going on like taffy for more granola, because people loved it so much.

Love at The Ranch: Out-Of-Town Bags

November 2nd, 2009 @ 9:27 am by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

“Goody bags” is probably a more appropriate name for our out-of-town bags. And that’s because we gave one to every guest in attendance. Out-of-town bags would also be appropriate, though, because all of our guests were from out of town. Either way you look at it, these darlings were stuffed to the brim.

I blogged about the baggies and their adorning stamps, here. Beyond the muslin…

Love at The Ranch: The Remedy

October 29th, 2009 @ 12:50 pm by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

The solution to our day of fighting was to take an hour together and just relax. Once we returned from getting our marriage license (during which we missed handing off a few out-of-town bags due to our fight), we decided we both needed a nap and little cuddling. I’d been with my girls for two nights, he’d been with his guys for two nights, and…

About Mrs. Cowboy Boot

Someone once told me that the days before the wedding can lead to one of a couple’s biggest fights. The stress, the emotions, and the exhaustion all play into it. Well, it turns out that the Friday before the wedding was (almost) our day.

The morning after my bachelorette party was, well, not pretty to say the least. We were all “feelin’ it” but had to…

About Mrs. Cowboy Boot

As the sun dipped beneath the now snow-capped mountains, we lounged at the adorable boutique hotel my girls had picked out for me: The Curtis in downtown Denver. Themed floors, elevators that whistle at you, and a restaurant called the Corner Office all make this hotel incredibly retro and kitschy. Our floor theme? The Perfect Pair (adorned by the photograph of a little boy with…

After arriving in after dark on Wednesday night, the girls and I woke up early on Thursday morning. Mr. CB had gone off with his groomsman the night before. The girls and I woke up around 7 AM. Maybe it was because we’d gone to bed at 11 PM? Maybe it was because Bridesmaid FSIL was on East Coast time as she’d flown in from…

Love at The Ranch: We Embark

October 20th, 2009 @ 12:25 pm by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

I’d been looking forward to this day for quite some time. The Wednesday before the wedding when we would sausage our stuff into my car, drive for seven hours through the mountains of Northern New Mexico towards Denver, and finally unite with a few early-arriving bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Over the past year, I’d done most of the trips to Colorado for planning on my own. Mr.…

Love at The Ranch: Teaser!!

October 7th, 2009 @ 8:26 am by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

In four hours, we leave for New Zealand for our honeymoon. In the meantime, I thought I might leave you a couple of pictures from our beautiful, harmonious wedding. These are from friends (not pro pics) but they make me giggle with glee, nonetheless.

The day began clear and blue but clouded up by noon. With howling winds and chilling temps, we trudged into the field…

A Golden Morning

October 4th, 2009 @ 12:30 pm by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

Dear Hive: Today’s the day! I am writing from my BlackBerry because my little, rustic (yet luxurious) cabin doesn’t have wireless. It’s a brisk 25 degrees out now, up here at 8300 feet in the mountains of Colorado, but the sun just crept over the peaks and is starting to defrost this little patch of earth and warm it to a comfortable 60 degrees.

I am…

The Final Dress Fitting

October 2nd, 2009 @ 3:05 pm by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

Today could not have gone better. In Denver, pre-wedding, I made it to Saks Fifth Avenue with all of my bridesmaids in tow to pick up my gown. Yeah, three days out. I was nervous for all sorts of reasons---it had been four months since I’d tried the dress on, I hadn’t seen it with its final alterations, and there was a lot of pressure with my girls there to make sure it looked perfect!

Here are the results:

Last Minute Decision

September 29th, 2009 @ 12:16 pm by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

With less than six days until our shindig and nothing to accent my lovely lobes, I stumbled upon an image while on our photographer’s blog.

Not only is she stunning, but so are her earrings. Suddenly, I’d seen a pair of earrings that I thought might actually work.

The Bridesmaids’ Dresses That Were.

September 22nd, 2009 @ 1:26 pm by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

A while back, I gave my five bridesmaids the choice to buy any dress* they wanted. (*Stipulations included 1. picking from J.Crew’s silk chiffon options in Light Shell or Deep Rose; 2. Choosing a custom Sarah Seven dress in a coordinating color; or 3. Finding a different dress altogether, but getting my OK before buying it.)

Two of the girls opted for J. Crew’s Juliette dress in Deep Rose, below.

Where Do We Go?

This is a question we’re hoping our guests won’t have to ask as they’re making their way to our ceremony site or our reception location. Thanks to Mr. CB, who once again pulled out his skills, we now have signs that should hopefully point guests in the right direction.

Snip, Snip, Snip

Where have I been? At home. Snipping and sorting and stamping nearly everything in site. Our DIY projects are heading towards home plate and I need to get them done in the next two weeks. Luckily, most of them are already dusting the catcher, and only a few of them are still on third base. (Note: No idea where these baseball analogies came from.)
