wedding

I discovered over the weekend that ivory and white shoes look terrible matched with my pale skin. Unless I’m going for the corpse bride look, I’d do much better with a dash of gold or a bright color on my wedding day. Margaret and I both fell in love with all the adorable blue shoes…

Loren emailed me last night about the Ladies Activity Club. While checking out her site, this yellow-accented wedding at the Shakespeare Garden in San Francisco caught my eye. I love the use of Limonata at this event. It is one of my favorite drinks and something that goes well with our colors! I’ll see if…

The fact that I’m planning for a 100 person wedding and a three week vacation just hit me last weekend. That’s a long time away from home! Time to start thinking about the essentials we need to take along: Tent – We’ll be camping on and off between fancy hotels. Rob bought a new tent…

I’m so pleased with the finished wedding invitations! They’ve progressed so far from the initial designs. The textures of the letterpress printing and the thick paper are so impressive in person. In all, the invitations do well in conveying the keywords for our event: elegant, relaxed, fun and classic. A million thanks to Jordan and…

With 73 days left until the wedding, most of the major jobs are finished and I can focus on the smaller things. I’m looking for your input: What small detail have you appreciated at a wedding? I’m not talking about “I’ll have my wedding planner bake vegan brownies in the shape of my initials to…

Jordan has been working hard at the Center for the Book all week on my invitations. I haven’t seen the final product yet, but I did get a sample of the peony and oak leaf print on the main invitation card last night. It’s a blind emboss, just an imprint with no ink. I was…

The two great dictums of being a “Williams daughter” are to wear sunblock and to always, always write thank you notes promptly. A sunburn or a missed thank you note in our family trumps any other offense. So now that the influx of wedding gifts has officially started, I’ve been pumping out thank you notes…

During this hunt for a second-dress, Rob keeps mentioned that I should change into pants after the big lace dress. “You look great in pants!” I had shrugged off the idea…until seeing a lovely white ruffle shirt in the latest Anthropologie catalog. I’m not sure I have the guts for it, but here’s what I’d…

This Wedding Wednesday is going to be somewhat abbreviated. I have a big TV thing for work this afternoon which – along with my blown-out hair being constantly in my face (I wear my hair up in a french twist most days) – is stressing me out. I promise, I won’t bore you with announcing…

Proving once again that Austrailian’s have the best wedding style, I found this lovely album on Flickr last night. Jess and Nathan were married outside of Melbourne in 2005. Here are some details in particular to love: Converse sneakers on the gents Polaroid photos Bride arrives in an Australian postal van, as she always dreamed…
