Mr. Taffy and I had really been looking forward to our tasting. Our caterers only hold one tasting per year! The tasting date was cutting it quite close to the day we needed to give our entree options for our invitation reply card, so we were hoping to make a final decision at the tasting, or directly afterward. After all, we had been combing over…

I didn’t think twice about bustles before my first dress fitting. I had no idea that it would be such a difficult decision to make! I went to my first fitting alone without a camera, and that wasn’t a very good idea… I didn’t have anyone to bounce my opinions off of, and didn’t have pictures to show anyone afterward. I ended up going back…

I am very excited that we have made the decision to have a portrait booth at our wedding! Including the booth at our reception was something that we had discussed early on with our fabulous photographer, A Girl in Love, but we did not make the decision until this week. Melissa posted a cute “kissing booth” entry on her blog that reminded me to bring…

Like Miss Peep Toe, I have been having quite the time finding shoes for the big day. In a perfect world, I would love to find a pair of shoes that are the exact blue that I have fallen in love with, has ankle straps, a 3 to 3 and a half inch heel, and for them to be comfortable. Since I am very sensitive…

It has been well over a month since I wrote about how my sweet tooth was getting in the way of my fitness goals. I am very happy to say that I have successfully swapped my sweets! You all had such good advice for healthier snacking alternatives, which has been a huge help. In the beginning, I made yogurt, honey and banana shakes to calm…

I am planning on making my veil, and intend on starting ASAP. I have more than enough inspiration after looking at these beautiful veils. Ladies, you have wonderful taste!

Mrs. Green Tea’s veil is so delicate and lovely. *swoon*

The night before Valentine’s Day, Mr. Taffy and I started hunting for our cake topper. We love Ann Wood’s work, but we couldn’t fit those birds into our budget, even if she had cute canaries for sale. More than birds, we really wanted a vintage bride and groom, and found this one on ebay. It just came this weekend, and we are very happy with…

I mentioned earlier that I have been looking for my wedding day jewelry in antique stores. The search isn’t going so great, so for now I’ve turned to salivating over the world of wedding jewelry that I can only afford in my dreams. A girl has to get inspiration, right? I love this adorable necklace from Tiffany. *sigh*

So simple. So cute. So ridiculously out…

You’ve seen the vintage Valentine that I will give Mr. Taffy tomorrow. This post is about the very first (unusual) Valentine that I made for my groom to be.

During my Secret Lives of Bees post, I talked about my obsession with blood donation. I am an avid fan of the Red Cross! I also mentioned that Mr. Taffy won huge points on our first date…

Today Mom Taffy and I spent the day together doing some wedding bonding (and work!). Our main goal was to find the perfect centerpiece vase. We are able to save quite a lot of money on flowers by providing vases to the florist, but he requires that you bring one into his shop for his approval before buying them in bulk. My first vase failed…

And by brewing, I mean The Arbor Brewing Company. We have a rehearsal dinner location!

Imagine the brewing company’s historic storefront, minus the snow and cloudy sky. I can’t wait until spring!

Mr. Taffy and I went over to the brewing company with his parents today to have some lunch and meet with the manager to discuss our event. The Arbor Brewing Company has great beer and…

Like many couples, Mr. Taffy and I love to text. We still text daily, but we were especially obsessed with sending messages in the beginning of our relationship! Last February, when we had been dating just over a year, my phone was finally filled to the brim with cute, sweet (and sometimes sassy) messages. I decided to make Mr. Taffy a Valentine’s Day text-book (hee!)…

Even though I am a lingerie junkie, I am not usually into white or ivory bridal collections. But, I saw these undies online recently at Victoria’s Secret, and fell in love! They are too cute.

Not only are they adorable, they are a steal at the 3 for $30 price tag, which means that I will also get them in black! (Great for Valentine’s Day!)

That’s right. I am talking about the holy grail of registry items.

Mr. Taffy and I finally began our registry this weekend. We still have a lot of work to do before we are finished, but I am happy with the selections that we have made so far. (Although I must note: a tipsy groom starting a registry online after midnight = a crazy amount of expensive…

I haven’t had an official dress fitting yet, but there’s a bit of an issue with the hem, so I went to try it on again last week. This time, I remembered to bring an item that, out of excitement, I forgot last time.

Mr. Taffy, No Peeking!!! Nothing to see here.
