Flowers by the Season

Isn’t the best part about spring the plethora of blooming flowers? It seems like the whole city is abloom this week and I couldn’t be happier about it. Which got me thinking… It’s easy as a bride to over-think a wedding theme or agonize over perfect color palettes.  Why not focus on an element as [...]

Designer Gowns, Discount Prices

Last week we covered some of my favorite gowns from the 2010 Spring collections. Of course, my picks are just a jumping off point. Hopefully after perusing the designers’ collections, you found a few of your own favorites. But what to do if the gown you love is out of your price range? I found [...]

Wedding-Themed Art and Craft Classes

After slaving over my own wedding invitation design, I realized a month or so before they were supposed to be mailed that computer printed labels just weren’t going to give me the feel I wanted. So I hit up my local Borders, found an intro to calligraphy book, and taught myself the basics. I ended [...]

The best part? Not only can do-it-yourself projects put a personal stamp on [...]

Ronny & Melody ~ Marin County Wedding

Every once in awhile I attend a wedding that really wows me. This is the type of affair where the couple goes above and beyond to make their guests feel special and to infuse their personalities into every detail of the event. The wedding I attended this weekend was just the kind of wedding I [...]

2010 Invitation Collection by Paper Source

When it comes to weddings, there’s nothing I love more than paper: invitations, programs, name cards, the whole deal. So you can imagine the self-control I’ve exercised in waiting four whole posts before spilling all about them. But with Paper Source’s debut of the 2010 Wedding Invitation Collection, I just can’t wait any longer! Paper [...]

2010 Color of the Year: Turquoise

If you’re anything like I was when I started planning my wedding, you probably don’t know much about Pantone, the proclaimed world-authority on color.  In fact, I didn’t discover Pantone until after I’d already gotten married.
