I’m joining the ranks of brides who have a few personal achievement goals to meet before the big day. Since before B and I got engaged, I’ve been growing out my hair. I’ve worn it short for the past four or five years, and so I’m ready to have it long again. I know that [...]

Well, I’ve posted on Bridesmaids dresses, the reception and the ceremony locations. I’ve not posted about my dress, for it will remain a lock-stock-and-barrel secret until my wedding day. However, here’s what I’ve been thinking about floral design. My florist, Janene of In Full Bloom, specializes in “intensely personal flowers.” She’s so great to work [...]

The final bridesmaid dress has been chosen. My dear friend, Lauren, chose this Jim Hjelm design. It has pockets!! It’ll be so cute on her– I love the babydoll waist, the assymetrical bodice. Each one of my bridesmaids is so unique– I’m so excited to see each of them in their dresses together! I must [...]

Two weekends ago, I went home to throw my cousin and bridesmaid, Melissa, a wedding shower for her May 9th affair. She and her fiancee both met while studying in a math Ph.d. program. Of course, as we considered what sort of shower we should throw for our dear Melissa, our mind immediately jumped to [...]

Well, I thought I’d try my hand at an Inspiration Board. While most ideas that I have for my own wedding are solidified, I really enjoyed working on this! I responded to a post on Style Me Pretty, entering to win $500, should my board be picked. Here’s what I’ve come up with in response [...]
Flower Girl…

I’ve been scouring the internet looking for an adorable and cost efficient flower girl dress. I love the Jim Hjelm design that goes with my bridesmaids dresses… (the blue one.) It’s a bit much though. I also love Annie Girl Couture, especially the Annie Girl Plays Dress Up page. Still, the dresses are on the pricier [...]
Philosophical Fridays: Priorities

I’d like to start a series called “Philosophical Fridays,” in which I discuss my priorities of wedding planning. One thing that’s been on my mind lately is priorities. Another future bride and I were talking about our weddings. Having recently read The Offbeat Bride, her perspective on weddings has changed from a former hatred and [...]

One of the first things I did once Brandon and I got engaged was pick my bridesmaids. In my opinion, having a support system from the beginning is absolutely essential– especially when they share in the fun! Over the past few months, I’ve asked them to select their own bridesmaids dress. I didn’t want to [...]
