I haven’t written much about the wedding these past two months because I’ve been working on a lot of little things. Thankfully, all the big stuff is done! The details are my favorite part. Invitations When I first started looking at invitations I couldn’t believe how expensive they are! $600 for a piece of paper with black letterpress cursive? I knew I did not want that, so I went for a more modern and colorful invite from a small business:…

There’s not much happening with wedding planning these days – all the big stuff is done and it’s a little too soon to work on the details. But, I have been dreaming about shoes! I love shoes (I mean, who doesn’t?), but I consider myself a pretty practical shoe shopper – I buy brown, black, and nude flats and comfortable heels, and aside from flip flops and the occasional summer wedge, that’s about it! Some of my friends have hot…
The church, venue, photographer, coordinator, DJ, dress, and honeymoon are all done, so it’s time to focus on details! I’m quite excited to be finished with the big stuff, because it’s the aesthetic elements (and food) that I’ve been looking forward to planning the most. Although flowers are a big part of most wedding decor, I really don’t know much about them! And since they are one of those things that can get really expensive, really fast, I knew I’d…
I didn’t expect to be sitting on a sandy beach on Saturday! But, we drove to Wilmington to do two cake tastings, and one of the bakeries was a few blocks from the beach. Given that we had a lot of cake to eat, Matt and I picked up a salad for a last minute beach picnic. Of course, we forgot a blanket, and since it was overcast and a little rainy, we decided to have lunch up on the…
The music at our wedding is VERY important to me. I’ve always imagined having a really classy band that could play all the good wedding songs at the beginning and then awesome versions of today’s hits once the crowd gets going. Sadly, when I realized that a wedding on an island (my wedding is a small gathering on Bald Head Island, NC for those who don’t know!) came with some extra expenses (i.e. delivery fees, transportation, ect), my dream band…
They are out! Addressing the save-the-dates has been hanging over me for a while. For one, it feels like the first big step in making the wedding official, so I was nervous to put them in the mail! And two, I really couldn’t send them out until my wedding website was all ready to go. I didn’t feel comfortable revealing a website that wasn’t complete because I anticipated that many guests would never go to the site again after the…
I’ve spent more time looking at bridesmaids dresses than wedding dresses on the internet! There will be seven of them after-all, so it’s a very important decision! I’m finding that there is a lot of variation in terms of color, but not much variation when it comes to fabric and style. There are a million polyester/satin-looking dresses, and of course, strapless dresses galore, but there’s not a whole lot in-between. I’m totally ok with strapless, but I know not everyone…
I’m officially obsessed with all things wedding. Now that I’ve figured out my job for next year, I’m no longer stressed with the idea of planning a wedding! And the worst is over – we have a date, a venue, and a tentative guest list. So I’ve moved on to searching for inspiration – I’ve been spending time every night searching for bridesmaids dresses, centerpiece ideas, honeymoon resorts in Greece, wedding bands – anything wedding related, I’ve been searching for…
Matt and I took an after dinner stroll last night and got into a wedding discussion and I totally forgot to blog. I couldn’t fall asleep because I had this feeling that I was forgetting something, and then I remembered that I didn’t post! Anyway, if you don’t want to hear about wedding stuff, please just tell me to shut up (or kindly skip this post). I figure I’ll need an outlet to discuss these things… Sometimes I just want…
