Remember when I played dress up with Mama Duckling’s wedding dress? Well, after trying on her dress I wanted to figure out some way to incorporate the lace into my veil. There was a veil that I loved when I first tried on my dress, but it was a crazy $1000!! That clearly wasn’t in the budget, but I loved the lace edging and thought…

Well, I’m officially Mrs. Ducky! Our wedding day was truly amazing and beyond anything that Mr. Ducky and I could have ever hoped for. We had so much fun with all the friends and family that were there for the special day. We feel so blessed. I can’t wait to recap and share all the details with you all.

We are now back from our amazing…

Well tomorrow I get married, and officially become Mrs. Duckling. The last week has been pretty crazy, but now that everyone has arrived and all the crafts are done, Mr. Ducky and I are relaxing and enjoying each moment. There is so much I have yet to tell you about. I did about a million projects in the last week. Not to worry, I’ll catch…

Did you wonder where I went? Well, last week I basically put our wedding to-do list on hold (including blogging, unfortunately) to get ready to move into our new place! A few weeks ago after we got approved for our lease, Mr. Ducky brought me this cute sign and roses to surprise me with the news. Since then, between the wedding and preparing to move,…

I have to start by telling you that our invitations took a whole different turn than I had originally planned. Mr. Ducky and I went to PaperSource to buy all the paper and came across Khaki A2 matchbooks at 50% off. Were we planning on using this Khaki (looks like kraft paper) color originally? Nope, but Mr. Ducky was inspired and so we went for…

Aside from just getting my makeup figured out for the wedding, I was especially excited for the trial because my makeup artist is my very good friend Janelle, who is an artist and regional manager for Laura Mercier. She’s done lots of weddings and knows what does and doesn’t work. I’ve known Janelle since I was in high school, and her husband, David is the…

Alright hive, start buzzing, because I need some help. Mr. Ducky and I have been discussing what we want to do for readings during the ceremony. We will be meeting with our officiant (and close friend) tomorrow to talk about the ceremony. I wanted to find some readings in advance that we could think about.

Have you ever had one of those moments during wedding planning when you want to just squeal and do the happy dance because you are so excited? Well, I often have those moments whenever I meet with our amazing florist, LaVonne from Adorations.

During this wedding experience, I’ve told you how important it is that I can trust our team that is helping us  make the…

Remember way back, when I was wishing and hoping for a certain pair of shoes? I basically had given up on the search. I couldn’t find the shoes for a decent price and many stores weren’t even carrying them anymore. I had begun a new search for “the shoe.”

I recently had my birthday and went down to visit my family in San Diego for the…

The last few years have been filled with the weddings of our friends. It just seems to be that time in life. At each wedding, it is so fun to catch up with friends and celebrate a couple that we are blessed to have in our lives. Recently one of my MOHs got engaged. I was thrilled for her! She told me to save the first weekend in October for her wedding, since they were going to have a short engagement. I’m so excited! We’ve known each other since high school and it’s amazing to see how much we have been though together. Not to mention, I had someone to share my mountain of wedding magazines and must-read blog list with!

Well, first I must apologize for the delay of this post and my absence. I know I promised you the tutorial long ago, and I figure I should probably finish that before I show you all my invitations. In the middle of my wedding craziness, my computer hard drive crashed and I lost a whole bunch of blog pictures and posts along with address spreadsheets,…

I recently had my first bridal shower. Going into it, I was excited but slightly nervous. I am not one to be the center of attention, and knowing that people would obviously be looking at me a lot was a little overwhelming. (Just imagine what I’ll be like before the wedding! Haha.) However, once I arrived at the shower, I had the best time.

With just about two months to go, all of the sudden I hear Europe’s The Final Countdown playing in my head (this could simply be because Mr. Ducky is humming it). It’s one of those moments when you say, “Oh.My.Gosh, I have SO much to do!!” I think I’d redo this music video with flashes of loading my Cricut and Cuttlebug, with lots of glue…

I know what you are thinking, and there is not a baby duckling on its way. However, that was the topic of the week at our couples counseling.

It was an interesting conversation to have, and while we’ve talked about it before, it was a good time to really look at a variety of issues. I thought I’d share some of the conversations that we had.

We…
