My great-grandmother’s lace wedding dress is too delicate to last the whole evening. Especially, with all the festivities we have planned! So I need to find something fun and bridal to change into after dinner. Here are some contender: 1. Maggy London – I’m not sure that I have the curves for this dress, but…

Last weekend Rob and I photographed a very fancy wedding. A bridal party of 14. Designer gowns. Vintage Rolls Royce. Private club. Sit-down dinner. Sterling silver. Event planner. Calligraphy. Etc. It was amazing. While my own wedding budget is nowhere near their stratospheric range, I think I can glean a couple of ideas: Do Floral…

I’m throwing a shower this August for a friend who is getting married a few weeks before us. This will be my first and I’m excited. The bride is outdoorsy and casual. I haven’t planned out a full theme yet but that hasn’t stopped me from brainstorming. I loved that vintage French wedding invitation featuring…

I worked on the invitation and RSVP card design last night. It’s hard to get the wording just right. Traditional, but not too formal. Basic, but a little fun. Here’s what I’ve got so far: Together with their familiesEmily Middle Last and Robert Middle Last request the honour of your presenceat the celebration of their…

I feel like an official bride! Rob and I had our engagement photo shoot last Sunday with Paul. He was so easy to work with; we finished the whole shoot in 40 minutes. He’s a painter, not a photographer, but his artistic eye carried over easily. Here’s a link to all the best shots. I…

A cozy cabin built for two in the woods of Colorado…how romantic for a honeymoon spot! These 1920’s log cabins near Crested Butte come equipped with wood stoves, hammocks and campfire pits. And at just around $100 a night, they won’t break your joint bank account.

Here a scan of the hair style I mentioned from that Aussie Magazine. Lovely, romantic and just right for me. I can definitely work my natural curls with a low bun. And it will be nice that I won’t have to worry about straightened hair going curly halfway through the night.

This Australian bridal magazine is my new favorite! Glossy pages filled with elegant ideas in a nice small size. In the issue I received, they’ve got fun bridesmaid outfit ideas, an amazing hair inspiration that I’ll post later and pull out worksheets in the back that you actually want to use. I don’t know if…

Our wedding venue has a cute round door between the garden and main hall. It’s a door that needs a wreath. I asked my florist about doing something with flowers, but even he said it would be wildly expensive. A dried wreath is much, much cheaper and it is something I can put up at…
