Happy New Year! Wow life has been busy, I've basically been working like a slave at Sage this Christmas season and haven't had enough time to do as much wedding planning as I had hoped. I told my manager I needed a actual work day off this week so I could go to Vidalia and talk to a florist and to my cake lady{whom I love, I don't like white cake that much and her's was amazing} and take poor Ellie...

{boutonnieres}

December 20, 2008

I'm starting to worry a little about how the wedding stuff is going to look once it is all put together and I don't have time to change anything. This project is way up there on the "how is this going to turn out" list. Hopefully my doubt is just due to the fact that I have been sick for days and exhausted from working as much as I have this week. Well here they are...the boutonnieres! I saw a similar...

I know I have been horrible at this, but my belief that once school was out for Christmas I'd have free time turned out to be a big lie I had convinced myself of to survive finals apparently. I have seemed to live at Sage this week and next week won't be any better. Our event planner went on vacay to I'm picking up the slack and working her lunch shift and my dinner hostess shift and what I like to...

So apparently some of a friend's wedding luck(she won am amazing photographer, videographer and a wedding planner) is rubbing off on me. I was originally planning on just going to the dollar store and buying thank you cards when I needed some, but now I might not have to buy quite as many. Forgive me I'm slightly late posting about this but a few weeks ago a won a contest with the Hostess with the...

So it's been quite a long time since I posted but between work, school, Thanksgiving, putting up the Christmas tree, and every other thing in life I haven't had time or even ideas to blog. Funny thing after we put the tree up the dogs decided they wanted to drink out of it, so now I've had to keep them baby gated out of the living room. Oh and wedding planning is coming along pretty good, I finally...

Having never been a huge fan of the over used rose I decided to look for something different to use for the wedding. I've looked at hydrangeas and several other ones for the bridesmaids to carry and after lots of looking around I finally found the look I wanted. The look being full and almost rounded bouquets for an inexpensive cost. I also love ruffles and after finding a bouquet of carnations I...

Twin Oaks in Natchez, MS {all pics of twin oaks from www.reginaskitchen.com} For anyone who has talked to me since the wedding planning started knows that I am so very excited about being able to have our wedding at Twin Oaks in Natchez. No joke, I had the same reoccuring dream about Twin Oaks about 3 or 4 times and each time I was walking through and talking about where we would put things and how...

I've been planning on making my own ring bearer pillow after seeing what was out there. The options around here are your typical plain white satin over priced pillow, plus that cheap looking pillow I saw just isn't me and doesn't fit my wedding scheme. I've come to realize over the past year that you can make anything that you really like for less money and it can be adjusted to be exactly what you...

To Stamp or to Pipe?

November 3, 2008

1 comment
Well I found a cookie stamp I liked(stamp from www.rycraft.com), but I also love the piped icing look. So what to do? Needless to say I've looked into getting someone else to make the cookies but it would turn out very pricey. If I can find a polka dot cookie stamp I am definately going to go with the stamped look and have two cookies per favor two flavors one polka dot and one monogramed. If anyone...

Favor idea # 1:

I saw a cookie favor on TheKnot.com and now I'm in love. Most of these pics were taked from Martha Stweart Wedding(who i am obsessed with). I've looked at a few places who could make them but if I think I wouldn't go insane I just might do them myself. This would be perfect considering I'm like the most sugar crazed person alive. [I'm waiting for the day when I fall into a diabetic coma] These are...
