We have some Sex & the City fans on Weddingbee, don’t we? We have to! Who’s excited about the movie coming out this spring? Whee!!!
Okay, topic. Just a little while ago, I received an email from the HBO online store - they’re running a Valentine’s special (free shipping), and they have new items in their “Hello, Lover” shop.…

I’m patiently waiting on my pro pics (two or three more weeks to go!), but until then, I wanted to post some of the guest pics I’ve received over the last few weeks. I love how even my guests were able to capture some fabulous moments that I otherwise might have missed…
Cutting our fab cake. Seriously, it turned out even more beautiful than I ever…

We just got home from a fabulous week in the North Carolina mountains, and we were greeted by… snow in Atlanta! It’s so beautiful, but at the same time, I’m glad we didn’t schedule our wedding for this weekend!
I’m busily sorting through guest pics before I get our professional pics, but I wanted to post at least this to let you all know that…

My initial plan (way back last summer when I still had all the time in the world!) was to create a photobook for our guestbook, using our fabulous engagement pictures. And then all of a sudden it was December, and certain things had to fall by the wayside, photo guestbook included.
There was, however, one thing that I did know for sure: I was not interested…

Earlier today, I stumbled across a couple of pictures of Katherine Heigl’s December 23rd wedding, which will be published in this week’s edition of OK! magazine.
In my opinion, she pretty much always looks stunning, and her wedding day style was no exception:

I’m generally a pretty organized person. My day planner may as well be attached to my hand, because I always have it with me, and I’m the queen of lists. However, planning our wedding is most definitely putting my organizational skills to the test!
We’re getting really close to the big day, so I’m down to finishing up the final details (writing notes on favor tags,…

I think it must be just because it’s the holidays, and probably also because we’re getting so close to the wedding, but I’ve been thinking a lot about my grandfather in the last few days. I wrote this shortly before I became a bee:
My grandfather passed away last week. He was my Poppy — a big guy with a roar of a laugh and a…

So, how exactly does one spend the morning of one’s wedding?
Our wedding ceremony isn’t until 7:30 p.m. My bridesmaids luncheon is at noon, and the rest of the afternoon will be taken up with getting everyone beautified. But what am I going to do with myself between the crack of dawn (when I’m sure to be wide awake, with restless energy and excitement simply getting…

Yesterday afternoon, I had a fun wedding-related errand. Mr. Magnolia is out of town, so I went on my own to meet with the music coordinator at the Cathedral where we will be married. He’s a lovely man, and I truly enjoyed talking with him about which songs/hymns we would like to have played during our ceremony.
When we selected our readings last month, we were…

You guys have heard of Baby Brain, right? The way I understand it, it’s a condition that one may find oneself in while pregnant. Basically, you might become absentminded, spacey, and just generally out of it.
I think I’ve developed Wedding Brain. We’re five weeks out, and my head’s all over the place. I can’t focus – on wedding-related issues or otherwise, and it’s driving me…

Thanks so much to everyone who made suggestions about what to put in the bowls I purchased for our shower hostesses Saturday night! Ultimately, I decided to go with the holiday theme, and I filled the bowls with garlands, ornaments, and candy. They were a big hit with all four hostesses!

They went out in the mail the Monday before Thanksgiving, and we actually had two responses when we got home on Friday, which was so very exciting! The response cards have continued to roll in since then, and checking the mail has become Mr. Magnolia’s favorite part of the day. It’s very cute, really — he calls me every afternoon…

Mr. Magnolia and I are lucky enough to be having a holiday-themed couples shower this Saturday night, hosted by four of our fabulous friends. We’re so looking forward to it — I know that they’ve gone all out with the planning, and we’re anticipating a great crowd and a fantastic time!
Here’s my dilemma: hostess gifts. I’ve purchased four damask…
