About Me: Between work and wedding planning, I try to squeeze in napping, drawing, random spurts of craftiness, tennis, and eating lots of Sprinkles cupcakes, dark chocolate, and noodles of all kinds. Mr. Lime and I have spent our adult lives growing up together, and we're very excited to finally be getting married!
I finally have professional photos from our day uploaded and ready to share. Let’s start at the beginning, shall we? I will probably post the details by category first, then loop back and post photos of the key parts of the event in chronological order. It’s pretty overwhelming sorting all these photos, but it’s a fun way to reminisce upon the day.

If you’re like me and needed a little (ok, more like a few months’) break from wedding tasks, here’s a little incentive to get you to make those returns, exchanges, and registry completion purchases. Macy’s, and most other more traditional registries, typically give you 10% off one big shopping spree at the end. However, from October 25 through November 6, Macy’s will give you 15%…

I almost didn’t do this, but I am so glad a friend convinced me to do it. Click here for my previous entry with instructions.
Supplies:
Kolo Newport scrapbook, 11″ x 14″ size, red.
Kolo cloth-hinge refill series B, soft white.
Kolo Legato photo corners, soft white. They now have self-stick ones, which I would have used had they been available at the time.
Sakura Pigma Micron pens, 05 tip, archival…

I normally don’t like rehashing things I’ve seen make the blog circuit and featured on more than one, but what a great event and awesome ideas. David Stark used paint chips for a backdrop, chandeliers, and even table numbers.

I have a new favorite dessert place. It’s ideal for me because I can pick up some pick-me-ups from Vanilla Bake Shop on my way home after a long day.
The white on white, oh-so-girly interior.

It is truly the little things that make a world of difference. Here are a few of the little things we did right. Some of them intentional, some of them not, but they all added up to an amazing day.
1. Spending the night before apart. It added to the anticipation and excitement. It also led to a sweet phone conversation before going to bed the…

The piles. And this isn’t even that bad. I spent a good half day organizing and compiling all this fun into the neat, compact piles pictured here. Initially, it was a truck bed full and mid-size sedan’s worth of haulage that we painfully unloaded the next morning.

It sounds so cliche, but our wedding day was truly such an amazing, poignant, and fun day! We just got back a few days ago, so we’re still trying to get our heads back on straight. BUT…I’d hate to leave you all hanging, so here are few random teasers from friends’ cameras, for your viewing pleasure.
Getting married in the shade of lovely bamboo. . .

I picked up the dresses on Friday, and they look fabulous! She pressed them for me, so the silk dupioni is beautifully crisp rather than very wrinkly like in my previous post. The quality of work is good, and she nailed the design from one image each of the front and back that I provided.
Sorry, LA girls, Laura Bravo is out of north OC, but…

Our table numbers/menus are done! I did a simple tent card, since three sides are perfect for a pic of me [at the same age as the table number], a pic of him, and the menu. It’s great since it can stand on its own, too. No need to find, buy, rent, or borrow any of those [mostly] banal table number holders out there. Yes,…

It fits like a glove! I am so glad as I have horrible visions of SDBG (that’s Strapless Dress Boob Gap) in my head, especially since I have virtually no chest. Now all she has left to do is do the bustle and steam it. I’ll pick it up a few days before the wedding.
With the detachable train [how I’ll wear it for the ceremony]:

One more [pseudo] DIY project down, about 271 more to go!
Luckily, a friend of mine had an extra Kolo Newport album (11×14 size)…in red! She sold it to me for a very reasonable price. I slipped one of our engagement photos in. Cover, check.
