Let’s Spend the Night Together

February 4th, 2011 @ 12:03 pm by Ms Cheetah

Mr. Cheetah and I have lived together for years, but we still had a little debate about whether we’d be spending the night together before the wedding.

On one hand, it would be fun to spend our last legally single night apart.

Let Them Eat (Cup)Cake!

February 3rd, 2011 @ 12:53 pm by Ms Cheetah

The cake vs. cupcakes battle is over.

The winner: cupcakes!!!

Let Them Eat (Cup)Cake! :  wedding cake food palm springs Bellabr

Cupcakes just made sense for the Cheetah wedding. We love cupcakes, they’re cheaper, and since dessert is being served away from the dinner tables, it made more sense to serve something that didn’t require a plate and fork (don’t worry, there will be plenty of napkins!). Plus, cupcakes will look great on our sweets table and we can get them is lots of scrumptious flavors! It was hard narrowing down the flavors for our wedding from the dozens of options on our baker’s menu, but after two (yes, two) tastings with our baker I think we have it figured out.

Introducing the final flavors:

It’s in the Bag

February 2nd, 2011 @ 11:18 am by Ms Cheetah

At first I wasn’t sure if I wanted a bridal handbag, it didn’t seem like I’d need it that much. However I did think it might be nice to have somewhere to stash some powder and lip gloss, so I just figured I’d use a bag I already own, borrow one, or sew up something sweet and simple.

Then I saw this sweet sparkly little lady at almost 60% off and I decided that I did in fact need a new fancy bridal bag.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

February 1st, 2011 @ 12:37 pm by Ms Cheetah

Like most brides and grooms I knew to set up a couple hotel room blocks at discount, but I was happy to discover that you can set up group discounts for air travel, as well. Since we’re having a semi-destination wedding and a large portion of our guests will be traveling to Palm Springs by plane, we’re quick to jump on board anything that makes getting to the Cheetah wedding easier on our guests.

On Trend

January 28th, 2011 @ 11:35 am by Ms Cheetah

When you read as many wedding blogs and magazines as I do (I know I’m not the only wedding p*rn addict out there), you become pretty aware of all the current wedding trends. I’m not one to blindly follow a trend just to be “in,” but I’m also not one to shy away from a trend just because it’s, well, trendy. So which trends are “in” and which ones are “out” for the Cheetah wedding?

The Photo Booth

On Trend :  wedding decor palm springs Photobo

source

Probably out. I love photo booths, I do. I’ve only been to one wedding that had one and it was a ton of fun. But I have no idea where we’d put it and there is the extra cost/project to consider as well. I’m also worried that there would be a line and it would take people off the dance floor. And these Cheetahs want a dance party.

If the Shoe Already Fits…

January 17th, 2011 @ 1:17 pm by Ms Cheetah

My first dress fitting is just a couple days away and I was told to make sure to have my wedding shoes with me. So I turned to one of my favorite places to shop: my closet.

I raided my closet looking for shoes that were 1) adorable 2) bridal 3) would work with my dress and 4) somewhat comfy. I came up with four solid options:

No Sweat

January 13th, 2011 @ 5:55 pm by Ms Cheetah

I am not a particularly sweaty person by nature, but every now and then and often out of nowhere, I get a bad case of the sweats. I’m talking needing-to-blow-dry-your-underarms-with-a-hair-dryer sweats. It’s more likely to happen when I’m nervous or excited, but it can happen for no reason at all. I only get the crazy sweats a couple times a year, so normally it’s not a problem…but I really want to make sure that the wedding isn’t one of those times.

The Wall of Wedding Photos

January 12th, 2011 @ 2:16 pm by Ms Cheetah

My grandma keeps a wall of wedding photos from all the weddings of her eight children in her den. When visiting my grandma, I always stop and take a minute to check out all the pictures. With weddings from the late ’70s through the late ’90s, the photos are not only wonderful family mementos, but also an amusing walk through timeand fashion (can you say lavender cummerbund?).

I love checking out all the bridal attire of my aunts! They all made beautiful brides.

A Texas Thank You

January 10th, 2011 @ 4:08 pm by Ms Cheetah

Four of my amazing ’maids flew to Austin to throw me a fantastic bachelorette. As a thank you/holiday gift I wanted to give them something to commemorate the trip. Enter Maptotes.

Maptotes are totes (and other products) that feature silk screens of adorable map illustrations. They have designs showcasing dozens of cities and areas. They even have Palm Springs–-oh if only I had a unlimited out-of-town bag budget…

The Austin bag was the perfect gift for the Texas-traveling, karaoke-singing, vodka-drinking, cupcake-eating Cheetah Girls.

Dressing the Cheetah Guys

Now that Mr. Cheetah’s suit is all squared away, we’re moving to the next item on the wedding apparel checklist: groomsmen’s suits.

Dressing the Cheetah Guys :  wedding menswear palm springs Bluesui  “Hmmm… do you guys think my silver watch clashes with these golden yellow ruffles?

Mr. Cheetah has 6 groomsmen and we want their suiting to be similar to Mr. Cheetah’s look. So we are searching for slim fitting black two-button suits. The problem is we are looking reasonable priced (under $200) suits in a large range of sizes, and it’s no easy task. 6’ 5″ Baby Bro Cheetah needs an extra long suit…and those babies ain’t easy to find.

While at home for the holidays my brothers and I decided to start The Great Cheetah Guys Suit Hunt.
