The After Party

November 19th, 2009 @ 11:55 am by Miss Trail Mix

Our wedding reception is set to end at 11:30 PM. While 6 or so hours of drinking, dining and dancing may be enough for most, it’s the only wedding we’re having, so we’re a-gonna prolong the fun for as long as we can (and we will have spent 14 months planning this thing so gosh darn it, it’s going to last as long as we…

DIY Rewind - Napkin Rings

November 19th, 2009 @ 10:42 am by Miss Cheeseburger

When I envisioned our reception, I knew that I wanted thoughtful details to really make our wedding an experience for our guests. Our site provides a choice between white or ivory linens, and I knew we would be adding purple overlays of some sort… but that wasn’t enough. After scouring the web for inspiration, Martha came to my rescue!

Napkin rings, of course! While they can…

The Great Napkin Debate

November 18th, 2009 @ 4:00 pm by Miss Snow

I am having a major napkin crisis. OK, not really, but sometimes it feels that way. Napkins are total utilitarian items; you wipe your mouth, maybe cover a sneeze, and then you forget about it unless things get rowdy a la this:

I'm fashion and beauty obsessed, and have recently discovered my inner domestic diva extraordinaire.

Fauxtobooth

November 18th, 2009 @ 2:02 pm by Miss Rainbow

Since I previously blogged about our wonderful photographer, let’s talk fauxtobooths. I am so excited to have one at our wedding! Cameras (especially photobooths) and I have always been BFF. What can I say? I’m a total ham. I already talked to our photographer about having one during the reception and she’s totally down for it---I mean, how many photos of people dancing during the reception does one need? Eeeeexactly! So, hive, I need your help. We're totally on the fence as to which style we want our photobooth to be. Help?!

Our Bunny Theme: Decor

November 17th, 2009 @ 5:34 pm by Miss Parfait

As I’ve mentioned before, Mr. Parfait’s last name means bunny in Serbian. I love it and definitely plan to bunnify our wedding!

Over the past few months (okay, years) I’ve developed a little habit: Whenever I see birdie details in someone’s wedding photos, I always imagine bunnies in their place. Well, now it’s the bunnies’ turn, I say! Here are a few of the bunny details…

Tree Card Holder

November 17th, 2009 @ 2:01 pm by Miss Frozen Yogurt

So remember when I needed inspiration for what to make our card holder out of? And then you all inspired me and led me to the one? Well, I took everyone’s advice and did an alchemy request on Etsy. Four people answered my bid and I chose one, Petal Products. So Petal Products doesn’t normally make tree card holders, nor does she make anything tree…

An Ode to Beautiful Lighting

November 12th, 2009 @ 3:32 pm by Miss Trail Mix

Lights and lanterns, you brighten (ha!) my wedding world and I can’t stop looking pictures of magical outdoor weddings with incredible lighting. So much so that while I was once certain of my lighting concepts, I am now a doubting Thomas. (Side note: Is there a female version of the phrase doubting Thomas? Doubting Thomasina?)

Vintage Goodness

November 11th, 2009 @ 1:48 pm by Miss Frozen Yogurt

For some reason I’ve felt like our wedding was losing some of its vintage appeal. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited about the direction it’s heading in, but I want to be sure that I stick to my original plan of vintage yet modern. Well, thankfully I stumbled on Three Potato Four.

You see, I’m not much of a bargain shopper, nor am I able to…

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock

Lately, I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out how to jazz up our table numbers. Granted, we’re having a very small wedding and will only need 6 tables to accommodate our guests, but still. I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve got Bride Brain, and with Bride Brain comes the irrational desire to incorporate every cute detail that I come across, no…

A-Mason’ Centerpieces

November 10th, 2009 @ 4:25 pm by Miss Trail Mix

Did you like my little pun in the title? If you haven’t already figured this out, I am beyond obsessed with mason jars in general. Blue Ball mason jars, specifically. I’ve already found enough to serve as flower holders for the centerpieces at our wedding, so I thought I’d do a little research and find some inspiration for the flowers and settings of these beautiful…

A few months back, I purchased some blue organza table overlays from another bride on Weddingbee. They were beautiful, but now our tablescape has changed and I’m not going to use them, so I was excited when I saw this post over on You Can’t Take It With You. Thanks to the tutorial and the inspiration, these organza flowers were super easy to make and…

Centerpiece Ideas

November 9th, 2009 @ 3:15 pm by Miss Snow

To go with my current floral obsession, I’m strangely fascinated with our wedding table decor. I just love a rustic, artfully cluttered table.

To keep with our rustic aesthetic, I’ve been collecting bottles in different heights and sizes to put on the table, and our florist is going to fill them with greenery and flowers. I love the haphazard look of all the tables above, and I actually purchased the bottles in the third picture from the top from IEKA during a shopping trip with my mom over the summer.

What is the Anniversary Dance?

November 8th, 2009 @ 1:00 pm by Miss Trail Mix

I’ve received this question from a few people, either those who read the blog and noticed my mention of it in a previous post or from the many many friends and family whose ears I talk off about the wedding (I know I’m obsessed, I’m sorry!). Anyways, the anniversary dance is one of the sweetest traditions I’ve found during all my research online. I had never heard of it before I started reading (stalking) wedding blogs but once I found it, I knew it had to be done at our wedding.

Table Centerpiece Rough Draft

November 5th, 2009 @ 11:50 am by Miss Trail Mix

This first centerpiece post is a definite work in progress (so don’t judge; it will probably require multiple drafts until I’m happy). A while ago I was home sick and took the opportunity to do (a very) rough draft of our centerpieces. Here’s a brief synopsis of what I made, using the materials I could find at home.

Also, be warned, I do not own a…
