wedding

During the course of wedding planning, I’ve been the recipient of several random acts of internet kindness. I’ve held off on blogging about them for silly reasons. It seems more special to keep such nice things to myself for a while. It’s time to spill the beans! A few months ago, Susan, emailed me out…

Another great idea co-opted from Shauna & Jeff’s wedding. These escort cards looks so tidy all lined up on the entrance table. Here’s a wider photo of the entrance. I bought a set of mini ivory cards and matching mini ivory envelopes from Paper Source. The guest name will go on the outside and their…

There are so, so many lovely details from Shauna & Jeff’s Marin wedding. I’m cribbing as many as I can for our own event. In particular, I’m a fan of the way the napkins are folded into a long strip and tucked under the plates. That, combined with the plated salads and champagne, should make…

More wedding ephemera. After sending out the invitations, Rob and I were delighted to receive so many RSVP’s back in the mail. We were expecting about 75 people to confirm. The “accepts with pleasure” cards kept coming and now we’re at 94 (98 when you count the kids who are eating pizza instead of dinner…

So, the next 11 days are basically going to be Wedding Wednesday all the time if that’s okay with you…there are just so many little details to wrap up. It’s hard to think about anything but the wedding and honeymoon right now. Yesterday, we decided to switch for a digital camera to a Polaroid for…

There are so many things I’m excited about for the wedding! One of the best is my grandmother’s antique lace dress. My mom did some research today and identified it as probably being Alençon lace. Sometimes called the “queen of lace” it is handmade with needles. I can’t even imagine how hard it would have…

No, those aren’t my second wedding shoes…but they’re very close! I found an adorable pair of te casan pumps at Loehmann’s on Sunday. My pair is in this same teal suede, but with a much lower heel and an ankle strap. On sale for $89, down from $255. They’re perfect for the vintage theme of…

Dapper young gentlemen, look no further! There are no stores in all of San Francisco that carry ties or bow ties for boys but the internet has come to the rescue! Rainbow Connection has bow ties in 16 colors for $4.95 each.

Sorry about this post being late. I spent the afternoon at the office feeling stressed and generally like a prick. I had a volunteer event after work that I had forgotten about and was dreading. It completely lifted my spirits! I’ve said it a million times before, but helping others absolutely is the best way…

Rob and I are at City Hall this morning picking up our marriage license. I’ve never been inside this landmark and I’m so excited! City Hall has been the site of countless happy marriages, from simple courthouse ceremonies to grand affairs. Check out a few on Flickr.
