… kiss as husband and wife.

The Piglets are getting married! Time surely flies. It seems like only yesterday that we made the decision to have our wedding in Hawaii. But here we are, 14 months later, surrounded by our closest friends and family… overwhelmed with the love and support of everyone.

After printing and cutting the cardstock for our programs, the lingering question was how we would bind it all together. Initially, we were going to punch an eyelet in the corner to allow the sheets to cascade out and act as a fan, but… I dunno… I just changed my mind. I’m sick of eyelets (kinda sorta). These days, I can’t take a step in…

We’ve been working with Yvonne and Ally from Yvonne Design on our floral and reception decor. Unlike our fabulous Mrs. Latte, I lack the flower gene. I deserve a slap on the wrist, because I was one of those brides that came empty-handed for our first flower consult. After hanging up the phone, I promised to send inspirational photos of what I envisioned for our…

I am over the moon with excitement that we are finally done with the Piglet men’s attire! We nixed khaki suits as an option months ago, and decided on gray for both Mr Piglet and his fellas. With the ladies in yellow, the groomsmen will be donning yellow ties with cute little palm trees (in blue!). I know, I know… it’s spot on for our…

The gifts for my birdies needed some sprucin’ up. I’ll have to share what the actual gifts are in a later post when the girls are in Hawaii. They don’t have the self control to resist peeking on here… nor would I!

After hopping from one blog to the next, I came across Reese Dixon’s tutorial on DIY organza flowers. Perfecto! This floral embellishment was…

Guess what I picked up in Virginia a couple weeks ago?

Zooming out…

Thank you for the warm responses on our invitation post! The Mr and I had huge smiles on our faces while we read everyone’s super sweet comments. It made all our hard work totally worth it. And now, we’re ready to share the details. There were so many elements to our invitation suite, so I’ll try my best to lay things out as clearly as…

Our first dance is a high priority for Mr Piglet. So much so, he wants to wake up at the butt crack of dawn, walk to the beach, and practice our moves… everyday. For the record, it didn’t happen this morning. But he did last Sunday (by himself), and practiced his steps for a solid half hour. WOW. My jaw dropped when he told me…

My latest obsession is Photoscape. When posting pictures, I do my best to resize and touch-up photos to make me look better than I do in real life. Being the total amateur that I am with Photoshop, it takes me what seems like forever to do anything! With Photoscape, resizing and quick touch-ups are a cinch!

Within the Photoscape Editor, resizing can be done with two-clicks:

Meet my birdies! They’re such hotties. Last week, I headed home to Virginia for my b-party festivities hosted by these lovely ladies. I should have known this was going to be the mother of all bridal showers based on the invitations I received weeks ago. But I had no idea… NO IDEA… how crazy and balls out they went.

I have such a hard time expressing…

Before getting engaged, (admittedly) I was one of those girls that perused the internet shamefully looking at pictures of weddings galore, thinking of ways to somehow incorporate those beautiful details into our wedding someday. But it was never the wedding gowns, or floral centerpieces that I swooned over… no siree…

It was all the beautiful paper products the brides (and grooms) created themselves! If you couldn’t…

Mr Piglet and I hugged it out last night after finally finishing our wedding invitations! Seriously. I’m talking bear hug, two feet off the ground, ‘OMG we’re done’ kind of hug. What a relief to finally drop these in the mail. I have a new found respect for anyone who takes on this sort of DIY project. There are so many components, and if you…

My roomie walked through the door with two shimmery envelopes in her hand. Yay, they’re here! I have been itching to see these bad boys ever since my mom called me the other day telling me how gorgeous the bridal shower/bachelorette party invitations were. All courtesy of my bridesmaid, Hojo. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… and again… and again, and again……
