it’s love actually…

where’s that easy button?

Posted on August 18, 2009 by talda

don’t you hate it when you see a picture of something and you think, that is perfect! it’s lovely! it’s exactly what i think i might want to do!

and then you DON’T SAVE IT?

and then you realize that, yes, that IS something you actually want to do and you had the perfect proof that it isn’t some crazy hare-brained scheme. that it’s actually doable and looks fabulous.

i’m having one of those moments right now.

you see, i saw this picture a while back of some wedding where the couple had hung tissue paper pomanders in the trees and it just looked so lovely and casual and laid back, which is what i’m shooting for. of course, at the time i thought just how perfect it would be and would come back to bookmark it. alas, i forgot and now, months and months later, i don’t even have the slightest idea of where i saw it because there are MILLIONS of wedding blogs. and that makes me sad.

so the moral of this story: if you see a picture of something you think you might want to do, for the love of bob the builder, SAVE IT. don’t be like me.

paper source wedding day details workshop

Posted on August 14, 2009 by talda

if you’re one of the lucky ones to live within driving distance of a paper source, i highly recommend you check this workshop out. i haven’t been to one but from what i read on weddingbee, they’re pretty good. i wish i could go this year but unfortunately i don’t think my econ professor would accept this as a viable excuse for missing class.

boo.

check out all the information on paper source!

and if you go, can you let me know how it went?

when is a guestbook not a guestbook?

Posted on August 13, 2009 by talda

when it’s in a box!

of course.

pictures compliments of something old, something new. but i am really liking this idea for a guestbook alternative and i wish i had came across it to share with alisha was combing through alternatives. while these are available from cut the cake designs on etsy [there are also some really cute invitation designs available, definitely check it out! i do spy an opportunity to have a cohesive look with the paper design throughout the wedding] these boxes can be replicated at home, for the diy-inclined.

plus, after the wedding, instead of having some book you might never look through again, you can just switch out the cards and use the box for recipes! or notes! or bills! or…let’s just say it’s easily reusable.

more window shopping

Posted on August 11, 2009 by talda

this weekend i was flipping through wedding magazines at a friend’s house who is planning her hawaiian nuptials [at least, at the moment they'll be in hawaii...on one of those islands. she changes her mind every other day it seems] and came across an ad for mikaella bridal.

it was the first time i saw the name and the dress caught my attention. so when i got home, i was quick to check out the website. and oh my goodness. i found several dresses that i think might work with the laid back, casual romance feeling i’m hoping to achieve for our wedding. in fact, i was excited to see that there were three authorized retailers within driving distance to me. three!

anywho, i’m content with looking at these pretty pictures until i’m finally able to shop for real. so come, look at pretty pictures of dresses with me?
