My veil gives me horns.

Exhibit A (pay no attention to the unibrow- we’re focusing on the veil here, people):

Sad, right?

Exhibit B: the side horn

I always knew we would end up with a pocketfold invite, but I guess I never considered that they would be significantly heavier than your average invitation and would require a lot more postage. The invitations Champ and I have received were usually delivered with two stamps, and I figured ours would be no different. Just to make sure, I decided to go to the…

So, my first job as a teenager was as a pizza delivery girl. It was fun, I made great money, and I met some nice people at the pizza shop. My second job was as a flower girl. In the summer, Vail is booming with gorgeous flowerbeds and arrangements along the public walkways and streets, and I worked for a company that was responsible for…

You’ve probably had your fix of winter weddings from me, but I just have a few more to share before I share our own! Time is flying, and the list keeps growing, and my thoughts have turned to the ceremony itself. There are so many details that can be overlooked, and I sort of forgot about flowers for our church. Then I realized that the…

I just wanted to give a congrats to any readers who got engaged this winter—it seems like love is definitely in the air! I got to thinking about our wedding and realized that of course not every bride chooses a winter wedding, but some couples choose winter engagement photos instead! I thought I would share some of my favorite winter shots.

Hi hive. It’s Miss Champagne. Remember me? The holidays have come and gone and a lot has happened! I’ve consumed more champagne and holiday cookies than I would like to admit. Any previously lost pounds have been gained back, Champ finally revealed our honeymoon destination (I whined so much that he told me!), and our invites are in the mail! Following the Christmas rush, I…

Remember the secret life of Miss Champagne? In a nutshell, I’ve always been involved in the arts and music has had a huge influence in my life. So through my music experiences, I’ve been so lucky to work with some seriously talented folks. One in particular is our pianist. She’s unbelievably talented and I don’t think I’ve ever seen her have to look at a…

I’ve been working hard over here in Champ land on our invitations. My gocco and I are both tired, but we’re finally almost done!

One of the most important parts of our invitation will be to inform out of town guests where to stay. You might remember I had a really hard time finding accommodations that would be reasonable because our wedding falls on one of…

Our initial flower budget was pretty weak. I thought we would do candle centerpieces and maybe a few very small arrangements on the cocktail tables. That’s before I discovered that you can find peonies in February! It’s true… I totally didn’t believe it until our florist came back with a quote and some arrangement ideas. I had no idea what to expect from a floral…

I wanted to gift my bridesmaids something that they would be able to use again. I know every bride says that, but I thought I could get the Lady Champs something fitting for our winter wedding.

***Please pretty please stop reading if you’re a bridesmaid—that means you KC–I know you want a peek, but don’t you dare!***

This is how I wanted my hair to be done for our wedding—loose curls and all down. I thought this would be the best look for me, and I was really looking forward to seeing it all come together.
