let me preface this post by saying - a majority of the photos were taken by me... and i'm terrible at detail shots - so i apologize for the blurry, out of focus ones! =)ok so here's the final product - this pic was actually shot by a friend at one of my bridal showers - thanks shayn - keep up the good work!back to my photos again - here's the belly band my sis-in-law slaved away on - 2" by 12"

well... to start off the wedding recaps, i think i should begin with our invites - since they did inspire a great deal of the details that stood out on our wedding day.after designing and printing the invites - which were partially printed by a family friend, then the sandollar details were gocco'd by me - we had a family assembly party consisting of my parents, my brother and sis-in-law, myself

i'm finally going to start the journey of posting about our wedding details!  i figure i should introduce all the various elements by showing you my inspiration and the reality at our wedding... kind like a before and after.boy do i have lots in store... here's an overview of the journey we're about to take to recap the wedding:- paper goods: invites, programs, escort cards, valet tags, and menu

during the final days leading up to the wedding, i started to notice that so much of my "normal", non-wedding planning life was on hold...  that got me thinking about what i wanted to do when i got back to life as usual.well at that point i thought, piece of cake, life will resume once we get outta town and head to tahiti for our honeymoon... haha looking back now i laugh at how naive i was to

after mastering my beloved gocco machine, i decided that i was going to take on making my personalized cocktail napkins for our wedding. i went to IKEA of all places to buy my napkins since they were having a blow out sale on these, i snatched them up for uber-cheap. i bought them in navy and white - and at that time i had planned on just repeating the pattern i used on the blue. well needless

i know it's been quite some time since my last post... let me just say this:planning a wedding consumes your life, i was barely able to keep up with my family, friends, and fiance... let alone set aside time to blog.  so, let me say i'm sorry for spending so much time away. and to those of you loyal readers - you'll be happy to know that the wedding recaps are about to begin!i'll leave you with

as my FI and i flew back from our Wedding Open House in SLC, we spent time discussing our 10 mile long to-do list.... which by the way we have 18 days or 2.5 weeks left! time to really buckle down.the past 4 days wass the most time we've consecutively spent together maybe since our trip to Jackson Hole last summer when we got engaged! so, we used most of this past weekend to catch up on all of

so i haven't posted since last week... and i most likely will not post until after this weekend.between our housing hunt, sinus problems, cough, phantom migraines, and this weekend's bridal expo (which i will be a vendor at not a bride to be)... i need a blogging break! maybe i was a tad bit ambitious or crazy to load up my plate with so much during this wedding planning crunch, but that's just

on wednesday i went looking at housing options with my parents (since FI is so busy in the office 12 hours a day).  we looked all around in old town orange, since my FI will be finishing his last year at Chapman Law we thought it might be a good idea to live near campus, plus all the cute little craftsman bungalows are to die for!first we checked out 2 "places" (i won't call them homes) that the

so i was cruising around on etsy.... not really looking for garters but found the GarterLady shop. after browsing through many of the handmade garters, many of which were team garters... i laughed and thought if only she had an SC Trojans one... uh- oh... now that i've found one, i don't know what to do....very tempting to make this my toss garter and my way of tying in our alma mater....maybe i

since i am the queen of arriving to an event on what is called california time, we are helping guests out by telling them to arrive just a smidge earlier than they really need to be at the ceremony, that way the ceremony can start at the "secret" scheduled time! wink... while the guests are waiting and chatting we thought it would be nice to provide refreshments since it will be August in CA and

when i started wedding planning, i had a vision for the boys to wear something very nautical, such a this - navy blazers with a khaki pantsorry, i managed to loose track of which knottie bio this photo was fromcue the record scratch-------- not in this lifetime, my fiance wants to wear a tux he says!so for the past few months we've been duking it out about nautical vs. formal attire.and let's

all i can say is that our invite will not be black!this is an illustrator proof of the way our invites will look... the black represents navy blue paper, and the white text will be where the natural white text will be.also the dead space to the right of the top text area and the dead space to the left of the text space at the bottom, will showcase our wedding icon which will be a common theme

since my family is quite artistically inclined, we will be gathering this weekend to assemble my wedding invites.  something that i realized i had forgotten to order was our return address embosser.  i had done some research and knew basically what i wanted, but since my parent's home will no longer be my address come August, i wanted to make sure it is something my mom likes, since she will be

when my 2 bridesmaids who are friends from college offered to throw my traditional shower, i was thrilled not only with their desire to host something but also because they are both very creative & crafty gals.  they will be hosting with my sis in law, who is also an extremely crafty lady, i can't wait to see what they have planned, what i do know it will be a fabulous shower!  Being that my

i don't know about you, but wedding planning and life can get in the way of spending quality time with your groom-to-be.  we have a few other outside factors contributing to our lack of "couple time".  i work a very irregular schedule, not to mention have a jewelry & accessory business which is starting to keep me a little busier! (why not start a new business venture while planning a wedding?

i don't know exactly when i learned of the "hand ceremony" but as soon as i read it, i was sold!it's basically an alternative to the ever popular sand or unity candle ceremonies, but is a littledifferent in it's purpose.  the sand and unity candle ceremonies focus on two lives becoming one.  while i love the significance and symbolism of those, i've grown accustomed to seeing them in every

alright so here's my step by step process for my 1st gocco project!in order to make your image burn onto the screen you need carbon in your print out it's the key ingredient this means if you create your image/ pattern on the computer you either need to use a laser printer (has carbon) or print off from your ink jet (which i have) and run to office depot or kinkos and run off a xerox copy (which

(a e-pic that we used to make our save the date magnet)ok i'll admit that i kinda just jumped head first when we found our photographer... sure, i looked into a few others options in the area, but i really just fell in love as soon as my friend Michelle showed me her slideshow from Memories by Michael Photography!he has a spontaneous, yet sweet photo-journalistic style.  here are a few links to

k, so today my mom and i did some major wedding agenda errand running... we hit paper source, crate & barrel, and cost plus world market....while at cost plus we rummaged through their clearance area and found these beauties for a buck a piece, that's $1 folks:Clear Fleur Stemware (Wine Glass)in my last centerpiece post i talked about the IKEA stemmed votive option, but i wasn't sold on them.

so... like many other brides, you wonder when you order your wedding dress 9 months out, if it really is the "one"... i am no exception to that.  i really loved my initial choice of wedding gowns, but now that it's here, i'm not so sure... i really hate that i've wasted the money too, but i think i can recover some of the costs by selling it via ebay or the classified on Weddingbee.com. so what

prior to being engaged i always thought it would be cute to have our toasting glasses say "Mr. on his & Mrs. on mine".... a very trival detail i was concerned with huh? shows where my pre wedding planning priorities were!(invitations by dawn)but all i could really come up with were flutes that looked like those pictured above.but they just weren't the "look" i was going for... i wanted something

a recent trend in weddings is the tie in of the bride and groom's alma mater.being a grad of USC, i have some friends who've tied in the Spirit of Troy marching band to their reception, their music selections, and special wedding day dedications. here is a pic of the happy couple giving the fight on, these pics shot by our wedding photographer Memories by Michaelbelow: here's another way to

i ran across some great priced buckets yesterday at Wal Mart of all places! and it got me thinking that i need to be looking for larger buckets (sand moving size) to hold all of our hotel guests' welcome goodies.  here are some images of wedding welcome basket ideas...here are some of my initial ideas of what will go into our "welcome buckets": Water bottle per person (it's hot in CA in august)

i swear i'm going crazy... crazy to the point i'm losing sleep, i have to-do list for my to-do lists! i know this sounds absolutely nuts, but if you are a bride, i think depending on how together you are, you will at some point feel the overwhelming rush of details that need to be planned, decided upon, or simply get checked off you master list of fun stuff!i honestly love planning things, but

prior to visiting my florist to see my manzanita mock up, i had visions of grandure when thinking about how amazing they would turn out.well, here's the picture of how it came out -i like the overall idea (minus the hydrangea in the branches), the only problem is, it goes straight up! most of the pictures i've seen of manzanita centerpieces the tiny branches have been removed and the substantial

i found a great set of table decor/floral/color scheme inspirations, just in case anyone is wondering what our wedding colors are. we will pair these indigos and purple with light blue and ivory, but we will probably incorporate small hints of navy as well. initally i was toying with the notion i wanted the colors to be bronze, gold and champagne colors, and boy am i glad i didn't go with that

i absolutely love music!  i love the sound of a mandolin, fiddle, or piano solo. i find it facinating how a musician can pen lyrics that speak directly to me at the exact point i am at in my life, how they do that is beyond me.  i played piano when i was young, yet never really cherished the gift of music at my young age.  now i realize that the stories told in the lyrics of a song can help

borrowed from the Martha Stewart Wedding Etiquette Blog...The Rite Stuff "you know the custom: a bride should wear "something old, something new, something borrow, something blue" on her wedding day for luck.  it's an English wedding tradition that began in the Victorian era- each item meant to symbolize a different element of the bride's life: something old: continuity with the bride's family

while flipping through one of the many wedding mags littered around my bedroom, i found this hand dandy "grooms" calendar accompanying the wedding to do lists that come in every wedding mag.  i quickly ripped it out thinking my oh-so-busy, law school studying, fiance might be in need of a wedding schedule... and as the semester progressed, and the clock started ticking, and it became more and

like many of you engaged women out there, i've been throwing some ideas around in my noggin about what gifts to give my BMs as gifts, not only for their friendship, but also the many duties they helped with leading up to the wedding. i obviously wanna do a gift bag they can use long after the wedding day. but i would like to fill that bag with some useful goodies for that day, and for many days

so i was inspired by the most recent hot colors pick by the Knot and looked for great BM dresses (that are fully functional, don't look like typical bm dresses, nor are  they ridiculously overpriced). straight from NY fashion week : regal purple, aubergine, and lilac - the hot new colors coming our way in the fashion world it reflected in the wedding world).- all four of these dresses    can be

first let me say this is just my opinion about registries, you can take it or leave it, but i think its a great idea for setting up your gift registry (if you decide to register at Crate & Barrel)! if you are registering at Crate & Barrel, go to one of their sunday wedding parties   they are throwing them Feb - March, so use that link to check it out... it's super fun, they close the store to

while folding laundry today... the thought occurred to me to write about lingerie... even though your undies are rarely seen (unless you're that girl with her pants too low and thong a little too high). i don't know about you, but shopping for new undies is such a rewarding feeling, even if you are the only one who appreciates them.  one of my favorites is made by Hanky Panky. these are one size

alrighty, so here we go...i had a problem:  how to ask my 6 bridesmaids to stand by me on my wedding day? we all have busy schedules, live all over CA from fresno to los angeles to and orange county, and play lots of crazy games of phone tag.  plus, i didn't want to ask on the phone, that's just way too impersonal and not my style.  i was lucky enough to see one of my dear college friends, Jess,

folks, i know that there are a great many of you out there fascinated by oh so marvelous iPhone... even though i am an "all things apple person", my phone is not one of those thing.  on the other hand i prefer my Palm Treo for organizing my daily life.  it's perfect because the calendar feature on the treo is amazing! i can set tasks to be accomplished via my handy dandy Bride Ideas notebook,

i just wanted to note that 5 - 10 years ago, Blogger didn't exist, nor did the technology for it... sometimes i think people take for granted this supreme power we've been blessed with. the internet is a very powerful tool for many things, it helps me keep an online journal of frivolous things that i like, it also has a tendency to drive me up the wall sometimes! like when i go crazy trying to

so i thought i might look into j crew since they have a very classic style, one that i happen to like, just usually don't like the price tag.   i've been struggling with the thought of asking my friends to wear a dress for my wedding that they won't ever want to wear again!  so i set out on the mission to find dresses for my friends that i, myself would want to buy to wear.  that has been my

so i don't even remember how i stumbled across this company but i know i've seen some event planner use them for a "platinum wedding". Wonderful Wedding Graffiti is truly fabulous in my opinion. not only do they specialize in tying together an overall theme for you wedding invitations, favors, and day of details... they also have a whole world of domestic graffiti for the home or other creative

i have been in a 4 weddings, and have been a guest at many, and man the "don't look prettier than the bride" motto must really be on the brain when some brides pick out these dresses for their closest family and friends.  either that or some brides don't have the foresight to know that the colors/ styles they choose for their bridal party will determine how their treasured keepsakes (i.e.

you might ask.... well, in my years of studying the french language, its an expression that i have always loved.  if you've studied french you will also know that i didn't conjugate the verb vivre properly but, i was going for easier name recognition and an attainable web domain.  so yes i butchered the french language a little bit.now what does the expression mean?  the joy of life (or living).
