wedding

There are all sorts of places you can have custom maps made for your wedding locations. Or you can save $200 and draw your own! Our facility requires us to have our guests park offsite and then shuttle in. So it is a bit confusing. I drew this map a couple nights ago to help…

We were looking through my parents wedding and honeymoon photos last weekend. They got married here in the city and spend their honeymoon in Poland at a film festival. One thing that I hadn’t notice before was all the cute new clothes my mother had for the trip. This was the mid 70’s. She left…

Thank heavens for Gocco! Jordan introduced me to this nifty Japaneses screen printing system a while back. When I couldn’t find the right paper anywhere for envelope liners I decided to make it myself. This was my first time using the machine I bought six months ago. The dover flower pattern is from ClipArt.com. I…

I’ve come up with a tentative itinerary for the honeymoon. Knowing pretty much nothing about this part of the country, it is a guesstimate. I want our trip to be an adventure, not too well planned. But some of the major stops and hotels need to figured out in advance. With this plan, we have…

I woke up this morning in a minor panic realizing that it is nearly April and that means that it is almost June and that in turn is so close to September. My rule for these little “attacks” is to immediately channel it into planning action. It usually dissipates as soon as I get to…

Aimee needs help finding shoes for her lovely wedding dress: I’m getting married this summer in my parent’s backyard. I’m having a heck-of-a time finding shoes that will work in the grass! I can’t wear stilettos or I’ll sink into the grass. I’ve been looking for a cute sandal/strappy pair of white or neutral/tan wedges,…

Rob and I spent a significant portion of the last few weeks researching countless honeymoon options. Eventually it all boiled down to quantity vs. cost. We could do 6-9 days in an exotic locale with our costs starting at $8,000 or 20+ days for the same price or less in the good ol’ states. That’s…

Our save-the-dates are in the works! I should be mailing them out in a couple weeks. I’m planning on going the vintage stamp route for the main invitations. But for these small mailers, I just need plain old stamps. This Louis Comfort Tiffany design is the right style and era for our venue. You can…

I don’t really go for the hype that as soon as you get engaged you need to launch a full body enhancement program. Teeth whitening, invisalign, 6am fitness boot camp, laser hair removal, etc. I’ll pass. But I did decide to get a couple things zapped off my face this year. It was #6 on…

After our ceremony outside, I think we’ll have our guests toss birdseed as we walk down the aisle. These simple paper cone packages would be ideal for packages of seeds on each seat.
