Hi hive! Remember me? No? Hmmm. Oh, that’s right… I’m MRS Latte now.

It’s been 3 weeks since the most amazing day ever (aka the wedding!) and a lot has happened since then. We went on our honeymoon to beautiful St. Lucia, I packed up and moved out to sunny California and we’ve been adjusting to married life (hooray to the end of long-distance!). It’s…

It’s time. Today’s wedding day for the Lattes! It’s been a crazy couple of weeks filled with lots of packing, moving, crafting and last-minute planning. Don’t worry, I’ve been going picture happy so I promise to share with you all of my projects after the wedding. So… escort cards, photo booth details, favors, programs and so much more to come.

But I will leave you with…

What do you get when you combine…

1. This odd shape:

2. With this more familiar one:

But unlike my friend Brit, I’m not cry-cry-crying. Well, not out of loneliness, anyway. Let me explain.

My bridesmaids threw me the most wonderful, thoughtful and memorable bridal shower EVER. I’ll post about it once I receive the pictures from the “photographers”. Yup, there were people assigned to be the “photographers”… how great are they?!? So I will have to keep you waiting on the details,…

Can we be friends? Please?

XOXO,
Miss Latte

For months, I drooled over my non-friends’ shoe lines, dreaming that a brand new pair of wedding shoes would magically appear on my doorstep. It took me some time to wake up out of dreamland, but once I did, I quickly jumped into a massive search for the perfect pair of shoes to wear on the big day. I didn’t…

Remember my big brown mystery box? Well, my instincts were correct… it WAS my dress! OK, I cheated and peeked at the return address, but that only made it harder to keep myself from tearing the box apart!

After a very long week of waiting, I lugged the thing over to Kleinfeld’s for my first fitting… where the box was immediately taken away from me! Uh…

The reply cards are rollin’ in, so that means two things: 1. The wedding is really happening! And 2. It’s time to reveal our invites! Woohoo!

Like I mentioned in my previous post, Irene from Rinka and Ink saved the day with her letterpress and design skills. She created these lovely invitations and reply cards for us:

We decided to go with the pink/brown combo for the…

See my big smile? Nope, it’s not because the box I’m holding contains a yummy cake (Puhleese, that smile would’ve been MUCH bigger!). This picture was taken right before I walked into the post office today. Yup, today I mailed out the Latte invitations.

Yes, they are VERY late, and I know that this is a total bridal no-no. And yes, I hang my head in…

See this boring ol’ box? Looks pretty unassuming sitting there all alone, doesn’t it? The brownness of it is nondescript and the brown (tape) on brown (box) is pretty uninteresting.

One quick sniff and a hearty shake reveal nothing about its contents. It’s too big to be a shoebox, and too oddly shaped to be my beloved KitchenAid mixer. My birthday is months away. My veil…

I’ve shared in great length about my extensive dress search (it came in 4.5 parts!), the hunt for the perfect bridesmaid dresses and some ideas for our little flower girls. You’ve even taken a test to help us dress our guys. In honor of Mother’s Day, let’s move on and talk about the moms, shall we?

For both Latte moms, the dress choice was an easy…

Okay hive, take out those #2 pencils, it’s scantron time! Keep your eyes on your own monitor and take your time answering these questions. There are no wrong answers!

Question #1:

A girl and boy (but mostly girl) hunt for pink suspenders for the boy, his 4 friends (let’s call them his “men”) and his 2 little “men”. They finally find them from suspendease, and quickly purchase 7: 1…

In Part 1, you met our fabulous photographer, Todd Laffler. Now you shall meet Todd’s camera meeting the Lattes. Follow that?

We scheduled our engagement pictures during Mr. Latte’s spring break so we prayed and hoped for good weather, as we couldn’t postpone or reschedule. The forecast? Rain, of course! So our tentative plan of taking pictures in Central Park were ruined and we needed an…

I am a photography newbee (heh heh). I just point my pretty pink camera towards the subject, press the button, and pray that the picture comes out clear. Mr. Latte, on the other hand, really enjoys photography and is always on the hunt for new lenses and other fancy-shmancy equipment for his camera. So when it came time to find the photographer for our wedding,…

Last week, Mr. Latte flew into town (yay!) for his spring break. But the poor sucka was fooled (muhahaha) as there wasn’t a beach or pina colada in sight. Instead, he found himself in the windy and (still) chilly East Coast weather, being dragged from location to location and city to city to get some wedding stuff done. Poor guy.

Our first stop? To visit Jeannie,…

I left off in Part 1 with me in dreamland, skipping down a yellow-brick road, a big binder overflowing with pictures in tow. Images of pink and white fluffy flowers (peonies, ranunculus, garden roses, oh my!) floated in my head as I headed off to my floral vendor meetings. I arrived, sat down and opened up my binder to reveal my inspirational pictures and organized…
