Budget Beauty Tip: DC
Yesterday I decided to brave the Black Friday crowds and headed into DC to get a few gifts for my friends and family. As I was wandering about, I walked past The Aveda Institute (there are also branches of this school in NYC and other cities). A few weeks ago I got the news [...]

Best Budget Blog Posts
I am not feeling all that inspired or into wedding planning this week, I’m more focused on the short week at work and starting my Christmas shopping. So, instead of spewing some of my own wisdom (ha) I thought I’d link to some of my favorite blog posts/websites about weddings, budgets, and other things. [...]

I have a love/hate relationship with the Knot. Part of me loves the site, because it can be such a helpful resource, there are so many photos and you can look up vendors in your area. I also love the boards I hang out on, my local (s) the Baltimore and DC boards, and my [...]

Just a friendly reminder
I love everything bridal. I love brides. Well, most brides. The brides I’m not so fond of are the ones who get so caught up in “the.best.day.of.their.lives!” and they lose all concepts of reality and turn into, for lack of a better word, bridezillas and freak out over stupid things. There are very few things [...]

One thing at a time.
When the boy and I started dating, it only took about a month before I started looking at wedding websites to get an idea of what I would like for our day. My ideas have changed a few times, but I’m glad I did this because I really thought I would be overwhelmed by it [...]

One year to go.
Our wedding is exactly one year from today. This is kind of scary, especially when I look at girls on my wedding club board on the Knot, who have their dresses, florists, started their DIY, etc. I try and make myself remember that most of them are having much grander affairs than me, and most [...]

Brief Hiatus
Real life is getting in the way here lately, so I don’t have as much time to post as I usually would, and frankly wedding planning isn’t ranking high on my list of priorities with other scary things like layoffs (not for me, yet, but I worry for both me and my fiance) and other [...]

I haven’t been around much this week, and that’s mainly because I’ve been spending time following politics and not as much time on weddings! That said, I present you with the next Budget Friendly Vendor Spotlight. Today we focus on the fabulous Beau-Coup. Beau Coup sells wedding ephemera of all types, although the main part [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, I am not the most handy-dandy DIY bride out there. I am impatient. I have two left hands. I can only handle a small amount of DIY before I want to scream. That said, craft stores can be excellent resources not only for the more challenging DIY projects, but for practical [...]

I have another Budget Friendly Vendor Spotlight coming up later today or tomorrow, but I wanted to take a minute to discuss a few random items.
This morning I was surprised to see another photographer that I’m considering (although I hadn’t blogged about yet because I am a forgetful cow) featured on A Practical Wedding! I [...]
