Mr. Campfire and I met totally by chance at a party of a mutual friend, and the rest is history. Together we're planning a wedding that is lighthearted and sweet, featuring a ridiculous amount of lights/lanterns and some delicious food!
About Miss Campfire

One of my bridesmaids had a thing on her personal blog for a while where she would pick a shoe that reminded her of a specific friend and explain why the shoe was representative of the friend. I always thought this was a neat idea.

Since I’ve spent a goodly amount of time looking at shoes in order to put together what I’d like to look like on our wedding day*, it has given me ample opportunity to find shoes that remind me of my bridesmaids.

So, without further ado, introducing the bridal party with shoes!

Shoe-like Sisters: If My Bridesmaids Were Shoes :  wedding bridesmaid seattle shoes Ac ac

Maid Of Honor Tart has been my friend since I was five years old. I was originally better friends with her older sister (Tart is two years younger than I am), but over the years I grew closer and closer to Tart. Tart understands me better than most people and has been there for me through thick and thin. She’s practical but fun and (like this all around adorable shoe) is great to have in many different situations. This shoe especially reminds me of her because her favorite color is pink.

One month after I moved to NC, I went on a date with a guy I met on Match.com, and now we're getting married! I work in a busy Emergency Room as a Physician Assistant and while the hours are sometimes difficult, I can't see myself doing anything else. I live with my fiance in uptown Charlotte. We have an opinionated 5 year old tabby cat named Milo and a sweet, but rambunctious 8 month old mutt named Charlie (short for Charlotte - she's a girl!). I've embraced Southern culture, and our wedding is no exception---what better location than Charleston, SC? I watch too much TV and know every word to every episode of Friends (I've watched The One With Monica and Chandler's Wedding at least a hundred times...hope I have enough money for Wedding Scenario A!). I love baking cupcakes, cheering for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Penn State Nittany Lions and am openly addicted to celebrity gossip and pop culture.

Hi hive! As discussed the other day, the idea of having eight attendants was mostly due to Cam. I had no problem coming up with eight of my own lovely ladies.

The Party!

April 11th, 2013 @ 8:49 am by Miss Bicycle

No, this isn’t about our reception, which I am sure will end up being one of the most amazing parties our guests have ever experienced.  This is about something much more important—our bridal party!

I knew from the get-go that we would most likely have lopsided sides of the bridal party, and I was OK with that. When thinking of who I wanted to stand with me as I married Mr. B, one question came to mind: Who do I want to get ready with on my wedding day? Who would I miss if they weren’t there with me, getting our hair and makeup done together? Who do I want to distract me with dance parties and mimosas in case I get nervous or stressed? OK, that’s more than one question, but you get the idea!

I am blessed to have so many amazing women in my life. I have college friends, work friends, adult friends, etc. I will go ahead and cut to the chase here. I have 10 bridesmaids. Ack! I know, I know. None of them were people I included for the sake of including them—they are all people I love deeply and would feel incomplete if they weren’t getting ready with me.

My First Wedding DIY

March 29th, 2013 @ 9:43 am by Miss Scooter

Despite the feeling of being swamped over the last few weeks, I actually got a lot done! I want to introduce to you my first wedding DIY project…”WILL YOU BE MY MAID” invites. Speaking from experience, it is HARD WORK to be a bridesmaid. And often you are overlooked and underappreciated. I didn’t want to start my wedding-planning process with my bridesmaids not feeling as special as they truly are. I know I may be biased, but I think I will have the best women in the world standing by my side on my wedding day.

This was truly a labor of love and I enjoyed every minute of it. Even better than making it was the reaction that I received from my bridesmaids! I am so excited to share with you. They were not all that difficult to make. Here is what you will need:

  • Heavy card stock
  • Martha Stewart Design Punch Around
  • Martha Stewart Scoring Board
  • Martha Stewart Design press** (optional)
  • Individual letter stamps **( optional)

I decided to go with a more elegant look for the invites with the flair of my personality in the text. I made a layered look that I thought would mirror an actual wedding invite. I used Microsoft Publisher to create the files. If you want them, please let me know and I can send them to you. I made the following sections:

I am the definition of a multi-tasker and like to believe I am also a perfectionist, but my horrible short-term memory likes to prove otherwise. I'm an English major and a pretty punny girl, so get ready for some really horrible plays on words! When I'm not consumed with wedding planning, I enjoy copious amounts of television and an equally unhealthy addiction to bacon.

Daydreaming About LOVE

December 29th, 2012 @ 2:02 pm by Mrs. Squirrel

Please tell me I am not the only bride who is constantly thinking about this topic. Love! Of course this applies to Mr. Squirrel, but that’s not what I’m talking about here. I daydream about brand spankin’ new love. Love at first sight/conversation.

What the heck am I talking about?

WEDDING PARTY LOVE!

Not just the love we have for our friends and family in the wedding, but I am banking on some serious relationships forming. We both have nine people in our wedding parties. Some of these people are in committed relationships but many are single and ready to mingle! A lot of them have established their careers, “played the field” over the years, and now are at the point where they are ready to settle down.

Mr. Squirrel’s friends and brothers have never met any of my friends or sisters. Ah, I can’t wait!!! I know it is completely naive to think everyone will hit it off, but I like to be the optimist. I literally create diagrams where I pair people up. And yes, Mr. Squirrel helps. :)

This is my favorite version:

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a crazy obsession for planning and organizing things, so it comes as no surprise that I'm currently obsessed with planning our wedding. I love dancing, music, traveling, reading fiction novels, cooking, the color blue, cupcakes, all things space science-related and TV shows created by Joss Whedon and J.J. Abrams. My fiance and I have been together for seven years and are so excited to finally get married next year. We are planning a peacock-themed destination wedding in Montreal, one of our favorite cities in the world, with 100 or so of our closest family and friends. While we may look very different on the outside, we have eerily similar personalities (probably due to the fact that we share the exact same birthday) and share very similar passions. But above all else, we love each other and love to have FUN!!!
About Mrs. Mongoose

For some people, you may have had an idea of who would be in your bridal party for some time now. For others, a root canal is probably more pleasant than the thought of deciding who to include as your leading ladies (or men).

Don’t Stress When Choosing Your Bridal Party :  wedding bridesmaid montreal Bridesm04 bridesm04

“I’m glad he’s single because I’m going to climb that like a tree” — Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids / Image via IMDB.com

Then there are some who get so fed up with the whole process of choosing a bridal party that they ultimately decide not to have one. And you know what? That’s totally fine. There are no rules saying you have to have anyone (and there’s no rule saying you can’t have 10 bridesmaids if that’s what you want). Ultimately, you and your fiance need to do what works best for you.

We met and fell in love in our favorite city, Chicago, and are having a blast blending our cultures for "A Highland Fairy Tale" wedding! We are truly a case of opposites attract in that he’s a world traveling introvert and I’m a social butterfly who is never too far from home. We both love hanging out with family and friends, fine dining, and laughing at ourselves. He drinks a lot of beer and I talk too much. We wouldn’t have it any other way!

I’m So Honored

November 7th, 2012 @ 8:28 am by Mrs. Sword

Miss Sword’s “Learn from my mistake” Wedding Tip: Do not use the term “personal attendants” when referring to other awesome friends that you want to include in your bridal party. People will think “personal attendant” is a synonym for “do whatever I say bitch” and you will be grossly misunderstood.

Instead call them “Honor Attendants” and all will be well with the world.

(Mom Sword even had a personal attendant in her wedding back in ’79, but I guess times have changed!)

For a refresher, my bridal party consists of MOH Big Eyes (my beloved and also engaged Sister), my BFF L Dawg (who’s so tight with my family that she’s even traveled with all us), Cousin Jo (whom I’ve watched grow up and turn into an amazing young woman), and Mr. Sword’s Wee Sis (aka my future-sister-in-law and therefore stuck with me for life-hehe). My bridal party is filled with those I call family. And it’s four people on purpose. I didn’t want a huge bridal party.

That said, I have some amazing friends and if I could recognize everyone I would, but it’s just not possible!

In the end, I felt strongly that two particular girlfriends (besties for life) needed to be a part of bridal party but not necessarily walk down the aisle, and that’s how I found myself with honor attendants.

Everyone Needs to Be on the SAME Page

October 22nd, 2012 @ 4:22 pm by Mrs. Buffalo

I realized a couple of months before the wedding that it wasn’t only about me being prepared for the wedding. It was also about the bridal party being prepared. After all the chaos that I have seen unfold at friends’ weddings in their last couple months, and knowing that our wedding was (slightly) out of town, I knew that getting everyone together and on the same page was very important.

So back in April, I sent out a Facebook invite setting aside a day in the last 60 days where the entire bridal party could get together, I could disseminate information (and also KNOW they got it), and everyone could have one last chance to hang out before the hectic-ness of the last 30 days set in. To be honest, I had visions of grandeur for this barbecue. I pictured myself having packets of handouts and schedules and lists. I figured we’d push a couple picnic tables together and I would stand in front of them like a CEO at a large board meeting explaining to them, in detail, what was going to go down. YYYYEAH. That did NOT happen. When it came down to it, it was more about everyone enjoying themselves: the guys at the barbecue, the ring bearers getting to play together in the sand, the girls talking about the disorganization of the guys, actually getting to sit down and (briefly) meet with M about cake (bottom line: I trust her to make it perfect with no direction whatsoever). While everyone was eating I went between two tables, bringing up the miscellaneous things I did need to discuss, trying to keep it casual and trying not to come off as a bridezilla dictator. But at the end of the day, the barbecue was awesome! And I’m so glad we had the chance and forethought to plan it!

Here are some awesome photos of the event!

I have a tendency to take too many photos and spend full days having TV marathons. Mr. Otter and I met in high school, started dating a couple years later, and moved in after a month of being official. He is easygoing and makes plans on a whim, while I'm color coordinating my planner and organizing everything in sight. He hates glitter, but it's my favorite thing. I have tattoos and he still won't get one, despite my attempts to convince him. We're planning a small, rustic, and (hopefully!) peony-filled wedding to get our married life started. (And yes, there will be glitter involved!)

Will You Be My…

September 27th, 2012 @ 1:24 pm by Mrs. Armadillo

…bridesmaid?

I’ve seen a lot of cute and unique ways floating around on the web how brides have asked their best girls to be bridesmaids at their weddings. Unfortunately for me, I had asked the majority of my bridesmaids over the phone or online practically right after I got engaged, mostly because many of my bridesmaids are family members who I called right away to tell them the big news of my engagement—BFF and cousin Henna, Henna’s younger sister, Dancer, and my baby sister, Lil Dillo.

Anyway, just because I’d asked them in the rush of engagement excitement didn’t mean I couldn’t do something sweet for them in terms of how much they mean to me, and there was still one other wonderful lady, Mascara, I hadn’t yet asked about being a member of my bridal party. Ergo, with my natural inclination to be crafty and creative, I considered making them some kind of…something. Eventually, I’d decided to make them all completely handcrafted cards from scratch and mail them in pretty, decorated envelopes. Aside from being crazy-fun and crafty, it would also allow me to try out my newest crafting purchase: the heat embossing gun.

Before I talk about the embossing gun, let me show you some pictures! All of my bridesmaids (by the way, Mascara agreed to be a bridesmaid—hooray!) have confirmed they have received the cards, so I feel like I can now reveal them to the blogosphere. Enjoy!

About Mrs. Buffalo

Picking my bridal party in many ways was easy. I always knew S would again be my maid of honor. She was the first person I called, and I don’t know how she was able to make out my squealing request! It was difficult for me to breathe, let alone ask her a question (or wait for her answer)! I saw Bridesmaid K a few days later, and even though I was dying to ask her to be a bridesmaid and her son little K (one of my two favorite little guys) to be the ring bearer, Mr. B claimed that even though he had completely decided who would be his groomsmen, K’s hubby and his brother included, he claimed he wasn’t prepared to ask them. So I planned on waiting and planning an awesome way to ask. Until we were celebrating at their house and he just blurted out that he wanted them to be groomsmen. So much for creative planning. They all happily accepted, and now there were only two left to ask. I quickly planned a lunch with my two best friends from high school. I honestly couldn’t believe how nervous I was! But luckily they happily agreed, and my bridal party was set!

Now that I’m far along in the planning process and I’m working on putting together bridesmaid gifts, I’ve found so many cute cards and gifts for asking someone to be a bridesmaid, and I wish my impatience had not gotten the best of me! I would love to have given my bridesmaids something like this:

Although my day job is in cubicle land, I'm happiest in the modern art wing of a museum, having recently earned my Masters in Museum Studies. Shortly after a chance meeting five years ago, I moved in with Wolfman and haven't looked back since. We love music, movies, TV, and all things pop culture; we have an unspoken competition to be the first to share the latest YouTube sensation or indie song. Together, we've filled quite a few pages in our passports, but also love quiet nights in with a Game of Thrones marathon and our French Bulldog, Tonks (Harry Potter, anyone?). I'm planning a small, cozy winter wedding---think mercury glass and candle light---in the heart of DC. Our venue is a historic home with a lot of political charm, but needs a bit of work to be wedding-ready.

Asking My Maids

September 24th, 2012 @ 2:22 pm by Mrs. Gray Wolf

I took a while to ask my ‘maids to be in the wedding (sorry, pals) even though I’d known forever who I wanted to ask; the reason it took a bit is that I wanted to ask in a creative way…and here’s what I came up with!

It was around the Christmas holiday, so I bought clear christmas ornaments (super inexpensive at Michaels) to make “wishing ornament.” A wishing ornament is designed to hold a hope or a wish—usually a small piece of paper hidden inside.

Love Under the Moon: Final Moments

September 13th, 2012 @ 11:08 am by Mrs. Coyote

As Mr. Coyote and I wrapped up our portraits, our officiant, Robyn, popped in. This was it. I knew that we were only moments away from our ceremony. She asked me how I was feeling and I immediately blurted out, “I can’t stop crying!” (and promptly started crying again). She assured me that everything was going to be OK and that she carried a handkerchief with her at all times in case the bride (or the groom!) needed one during the ceremony. Meanwhile I had found a box of tissues and grabbed a few to stuff down my dress in case of emergency.

Fortunately, Robyn has a very soothing personality and immediately put me at ease. Unfortunately, she soon stole my groom from me so he could line up downstairs with the other groomsmen. She did, however, replace him with my mom and maids of honor, so I guess I can’t complain.
