wedding

A cheery yellow dress is so fun. But how do you pair it with shoes and accessories? Here is Meghan’s request: I love your what-to-wear guides, and was hoping you could help accessorize my bridesmaids for a May wedding. My girls are wearing J.Crew’s cotton cady dresses in Sour Lemon (there are 5 styles, 5…

Rob and I are a little stumped when it comes to a honeymoon destination. There are just so many options! We’d like to stay somewhere where there are things to do (kayak, explore, etc) and in a hotel that has a lot of character (old world fancy…not Atlantis fancy). And it is the end of…

I’ve gotten so much done since the inception of Wedding Wednesday. Things are really starting to come together. I updated the “vision” sheet last night and was amazed at how much has happened since July. The warm, authentic feeling I’m aiming for seems to be a real possibility. There are just a few of the…

I’m so busy this week between work and evening activities. Last night was the LAC party. Tonight is my hair appointment and The Hives at the The Fillmore. In between all of this, I’m managing to squeeze in a bit of wedding planning. The matches I ordered last week arrived and are even more darling…

Anne wrote in with the following wedding-related request last week: Can you help me find this pair of shoes like this in white (or something similar)? The bow on this shoe would perfectly match the bows on the back of my dress and would look great on my wedding day. I’m flexible on heel height,…

This is why I love blogging! One simple question and one instant, perfect answer. These matches from Areo are exactly right for our wedding favors. And at $2.90 a piece, I’ve already put in my order. I’ll either put a little note inside each box or maybe a ribbon with a “thank you” tag. That’s…

To me, a good wedding favor is something inexpensive and useful. Candy is good. I once got a cookie cutter, that was nice too. Rob and I want to give boxes of matches at our wedding (not the small restaurant give-away kind, a lager box). Clever guests will know that it references Rob’s fiery beach…

Rob and I deliberated for a while about our registry. In the end, we decided to keep it simple. Instead of registering at a couple different stores, we went with Gump’s only. And instead of a bunch of appliances and everyday things we already have, we asked for a nice set of china and sterling…

All is not lost! I just realized that the price tag I had paired with my dream china is actually for the pattern to the left. The $465 Voiles by Puiforcat isn’t what I like at all. Now I just have to track down the real price for that china pattern. Keep your fingers crossed…

Has anyone used Felicite.com to manage their wedding registry? Supposedly, they let you combine your gift registries from different merchants into one online list. It’s all free, except for a 5% fee they take on cash gifts. Good idea? Bad experience? Where did you register?
