I used to smoke. I drink coffee by the gallon and almost as much red wine. Thus, my pearly whites aren’t so… pearly. I also have very sensitive teeth that cause me to shudder in pain just thinking about bleaching trays and strips. That said, I’m decently vain and dream of having a bright glowing smile on W day (heck, every day would be nice). So,…

Oh my! Lookie here… what’s this?

Mr. L and I headed home to SA once again this past weekend. The mission for this trip: to finalize lighting decisions. Surprisingly, Mr. L has been very involved in the design and decision making for our event lighting.

We arrived at Oak Hills around 1PM to meet with the onsite coordinator. It was so bizarre walking through the stately doors into the (usually conservatively decorated) lobby. It was mass…

My family has a curse. It has afflicted my mother, father, sister and myself. It is the curse of horrible handwriting (seriously, we should all be doctors!).

When the task of addressing our beautiful Arturo envelopes came to mind, I started to have a mini panic attack as I imagined my awful scrawl splattered all over the front of the cottony goodness. Labels were always an…

Now, I know we’ve had our ups and downs. As you may remember we recently had a big fight that left us not on speaking terms. Yet, just like any solid friendship, time heals all wounds and eventually we made up. I’m speaking, of course, of my true best friend, J.Crew (who happens to be good pals with many of the other bees!).

I had been…

Guess what I picked up this afternoon?! That’s right peeps, our BEAUTIFUL handmade invitations. They are amazing. Judy and Arnold, the incredibly talented artists who created these little works of art for us, are even MORE amazing. Not only did they work their tushies off to craft each piece in time for our February 1st deadline, but they also gifted Mr. Lemonade and me with…

As the days tick by and we get closer and closer to W day, I am feeling the need to knock items off the mile-long to do list. Luckily most of the big crafty projects are winding down and I’m left with a list of items that need to be purchased. Slowly but surely I’ve been knocking these puppies out on an almost daily basis…

I have to be at work very early in the morning. Thus, I wake up at an ungodly hour every morning, long before Mr. Lemonade or our furbaby, Vida, even consider opening their eyes.

Yesterday morning started off like any other. I woke up about 15 minutes before the alarm went off, headed downstairs to start my pot o’ addiction and trotted back upstairs to continue…

Like many of y’all I have a little countdown to W day on my Google homepage (Mr. Lemonade has one on his too!). I don’t spend much time on the actual page anymore though, since I use my Crackberry for everything from reading blog posts in Reader, to sending email, to conversing on GChat.

Forget the shoes, we have MUCH bigger fish to fry. Much. Turns out lovely Island bridesmaid, C, did not order her dress from el Crew like she was supposed to. It also turns out that my good friends in the oh-so-helpful and knowledgeable Weddings and Parties division were somewhat misinformed on the continuation of the Sophia navy into spring as clearly…

Outside of the design process (which went surprisingly extremely smoothly) the biggest decision we’ve had to make in regards to our wedding invitations has been what paper to have them printed on. If you will recall, our lovely Save the Dates were printed on the super yummy Luxe Cream cardstock from Paper Source. I am a big BIG fan of this paper and Paper Source…

I am shoeless, people. This is not good. I have dress fittings coming up in the very near future and I need to have my shoes. Not just any shoes, mind you, but THE shoes.
