I’ve mentioned before that dress shopping makes me a bit anxious since I am not a size 2 and squeezing myself into a small sample size is just a humiliation I really don’t want to imagine. I told my mom about a comment I read on Weddingbee about a mean salesgirl and a plus size [...]


Over the last few days I’ve been focusing on finding a replacement for our photographer. I’m pretty all over the map. Photography is one of the areas I do want to throw more money at, but at the same time I don’t want to go too over budget. I’ve contacted a wide variety of photographers. [...]


Happy New Year to all! I’m about to turn on the Rose Parade, but since a lot has happened wedding-wise this week, I thought I’d update real quick.
On Monday night, our would-be photographer (meaning we were planning on booking her, but hadn’t yet) called me and told me she’s not going to be able [...]


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 [...]

In an effort to make up my effing mind about my color palette already, I am attempting to at least pink one color and go from there. Right now, I’m loving aubergine. If you’re not sure what color that is (I wasn’t either, I had to look it up) it’s a very deep, dark purple. [...]


I think the hardest thing about planning a wedding is making up your mind. I can imagine it would be easier to plan the wedding pre-internet, when one didn’t have 150 wedding blogs in their reader and every vendor having a cooler website than the previous.
I will spare the color palette dilemma for another [...]


A small part of my job is planning our yearly events, a picnic in the summer and a holiday party in December. This has given me some experience working with local vendors. While I got no credit for it, I have chosen the location for our last two holiday parties, and have worked closely with [...]
