About Me: Mr. Cupcake and I hit it off at a Halloween party and immediately began a long-distance relationship. After two years, he moved to my neck of the woods, and a year and a half after that, he proposed at the “place we fell in love.” I am a true perfectionist who enjoys designing and creating more work for myself, so wedding planning is my perfect outlet. Mr. Cupcake and I are both old souls, and we hope to weave that aspect of our personalities into our wedding day.

Although we spent months planning “the party”, we all know that what truly matters on the wedding day is the ceremony.…

When we had our invitations engraved, I asked my printer to hold onto the die-cut scraps from the top layer of our invites. I wasn’t sure…

Weddingbee reader Anne L. kindly emailed me about this amazing sale going on in Pennsauken, New Jersey, this Saturday (Valentine’s Day!). The Goodwill location at 5461 Route 70 will be selling wedding gowns. Now, I know what you’re thinking, and these are not just any wedding gowns that women donated from their 1986 wedding (complete with puffy sleeves). Nope, the good people of Goodwill went door-to-door…

I realize that my last post was also about cake… but really, I can just never get enough of pretty cakes, no matter how long ago our wedding was! The cake design was one of those details that had me stumped for the longest time throughout our planning process, so I still enjoy finding unique designs that may inspire some of you.
This cake immediately made…

The other day I discovered inchmark, a ridiculously and wonderfully pretty blog written by a former senior art director of Martha Stewart Kids and Martha Stewart Living. Her name is Brooke, just like mine, so naturally, I love her. (We Brookes gotta stick together, ya know?)

In designing our wedding invitations, I was definitely at a huge advantage over other DIY brides, and for that I know I am very, very lucky. I design wedding invitations and stationery for a living, and have been a graphic designer for six years, so there wasn’t a lot of guessing about how to begin or what to include. But thinking back to when I…
