Pretty New Jenny Yoo
I am a huge fan of designer Jenny Yoo. I like her fashion forward style, but more importantly, I love that her dresses are very reasonably priced. Her wedding alternatives collection has dresses under $500 and go up from there depending on what fabric you desire. Most designers forbid or charge you more if you [...]

One of the first things that came to me after moving up our date was a new vision for the wedding. When we were planning an evening wedding, it was going to be a bit more traditional. Now that we’re having an afternoon wedding, we figured we could have a little fun.
Since traditionally people tend [...]

As an engaged woman, you are probably going to have to attend at least a few fetes thrown in your honor. Engagement parties, showers, bachlorettes, rehearsal dinners, day after brunches, the list goes on and on. If you plan on buying a new dress for each occasion (and frankly, who can blame you if you [...]

The one major aspect of the wedding that’s still undecided is my dress. I’m probably going to get an off the rack dress, so I won’t be getting it for another couple of months, as hopefully my butt will be a bit smaller by then to avoid alterations. I’m leaning heavily towards a tea length [...]

Planning a Las Vegas Honeymoon
Most couples tend to go to the Caribbean or another island for their honeymoon, and we were like the others-before we got engaged. We were dreaming of a honeymoon in St. Lucia. Then when it really set in how much that would cost, we had to let it go. Frankly, I think I’d go nuts [...]

Oh what shall we do?
Life is a bit of a ? right now. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m currently looking for a new job. My fiancé lives in the deliciously quaint city of Fredericksburg, Virginia. I am going to move there with him. Probably. Maybe. It all depends on where I find a job. I’m looking both in Fredericksburg [...]

An accomplished week
I am having one of those weeks where I’m feeling inspired and am getting things done, not only for the wedding, but in my personal life as well. My fiance and I are trying to figure out where we’re going to live where our leases are up this spring/summer, and luckily I found the greatest [...]

I spent most of the day looking at the festivities on television and being frightfully glad I wasn’t at work today. I prefer to watch history take place in front of my television and under a warm blanket.
There have been a couple further updates with the wedding. My wonderful bridesmaids have told me that [...]

Vendor Wrap-Up
We just back from Maryland, and I left with quite a bit accomplished for the wedding. Unfortunately one of our meetings for the wedding didn’t go as planned. I’m not going to get into details, but the vendor actually said something akin to something one of those 90’s supermodels once said “I don’t get out [...]

The other day I found this dress on weddingbee. I fell in love with it. It fits our color scheme, it’s not overly fussy and I love the detailing. Unfortunately the dress is about $140, which is more than I want to ask my girls to pay. I’m crossing my fingers it goes on sale, [...]
