I tried to narrow down my floral inspiration pix. Really, I did! It’s just that… I have so many. And they’re all so beautiful.

My auntie called yesterday to schedule an appointment to talk about my wedding flowers, and she asked me to bring some pictures. I wonder how many qualifies as “some”… ‘cuz there’s a lot more where these came from! I’ve narrowed it down…

I have special plans for our dessert table. Like most, it will be filled with yummy treats in bright colors and cute, bite-sized morsels. Unlike most, it will include goodies like this sweet, pillowy, candy-colored delight. Can you guess what it is?

Every Christmas since I was a little girl, I’ve made my parents and brother a collage of things I want (and definitely do not need). It started with My Little Ponies and Lisa Frank stationery and has progressed to this crazy thing you see below. I would stop, but they ask for it every year, and who am I to keep secrets?

(It’s slightly embarrassing…

A while back, the ladies at my dress shop said a veil designer was having a veil show at the shop, so I made an appointment to try on my dress with all different veils. My BFF, my Auntie J, and my brother’s family came with me, fully expecting a veil show. It was not a veil show.

Let me preface this by saying: I love…

The perfect words to describe our honeymoon. Post-wedding, we will be in Hawaii for 12 sunny, beachy, pretty days! My future in-laws, who also honeymooned in Hawaii, did a great job of convincing us to go. Here was their reasoning:

1. “It’s the perfect excuse to go! And you may never have another excuse.”
2. “Don’t you want to relax after all the wedding excitement?”
3. “We wanted to stay there.…

A sneaky peek at our invitation design! It’s just a little one. Don’t get too excited!

Mm mmm, swirls and dots and stuff…

As you can see, our entire invitation suite will be pink. I love it, and it’s cost-effective to have only one color since we opted for letterpress (squeeeee!). However, our other colors are grievously absent. I posted this inspiration board before, but just…

My bridesmaids and I started our dress-search with some dreamy ideas about floor-length, flattering, altogether fabulous gowns. We went to a shop and tried on three hours’ worth of dresses. We pondered our choices for weeks, and I started to feel like we’d never come to a final decision. Just as time was running out, we made a last-minute trip to my bridal shop. We…

My fantastically talented cousin, Julie, is designing all of our stationery, and she recently sent me some invitation designs. I was floored. They’re gorgeous, and I cannot wait to show you what I chose… but you’ll have to wait until after I send them out! I know, how cruel. In the meantime, I’ll give you some clues, so you have a notion of what they’ll…

I always figured I’d spend the least amount of time on the RSVP part of our invitation suite. After all, people will only have it in their possession for a short period of time. Perhaps the invitation will be tucked in a special drawer (or lovingly framed on the wall?) and the Save the Date magnet will stay on the fridge. But the RSVP? It’s…

Hello, hive! I hope everyone had a beautiful, joyous holiday season! I’ve spent the last few weeks playing in sunny Florida. Our family of ten slept in three bedrooms, strolled on the beach on Christmas, and road-tripped to Disney World on New Year’s! I’ve spent any free time playing with my puppy Luxi and reading the stack of books I picked up from the library.…

When BFF and I met for our Christmas celebration, we took a little time to discuss satellite party details! About that: My wedding planning book calls all the events surrounding a wedding “Satellite Celebrations”, so that’s what I’ve taken to calling them.

We brainstormed a list of themes that we could use for any of the events. Since Mr. Parfait and I met in high school,…

So remember my habit of falling in love with very specific items that I can never actually obtain? Well, I realized that Mr. Parfait totally doesn’t understand the “never actually obtain” part… because he just gave me an early Christmas present:

Over the weekend, Mr. Parfait received a big box in the mail. I get overly excited about mail, so I bounced in circles around him, asking him what was inside. And GUESS WHAT HE SAID?

“Probably my wedding ring.”

Oh my-eeeeeeeeee!!!

When we decided on a wedding website, we didn’t give it much thought. In fact, my MOH and I first realized we needed a website when she was helping me with the Save the Dates! There was a blank space on the magnets for a URL, and in a rush to fill it, we did a quick Google search for wedding website hosts. BAD idea.…

I know that I’m a stuck-in-a-happy-bubble, head-in-the-clouds kind of bride, but I’ll take a moment to get real with all of you. There is one thing that plagues and worries me about our wedding, and it’s something I can’t entirely control.

My sensitive skin.

Okay, you can laugh. It’s pretty common and usually not too traumatizing. Unless, of course, you’re like me, and your skin freaks out…
