Very Vintage...Updated!




We played around with Mom's dress to see what it might look like if we had it altered. Is this better than the cut and paste picture?? :) :) I tried not to look like such a weirdo...apparently that is hard for me. I'm a little worried about wedding day photos, honestly, after all the awesome ones my sister has taken of me in wedding dresses! Click on the pics if you want to make them bigger!

Photo Drama

So, Gabe and Boone are very, very talented. Apparently we aren't the only ones who think so. Jason finally called them this week, and they are way out of our price range. Even when they cut us a deal we still can't afford them. So on the plan B! On Thursday we are meeting with Kate McElwee, the photographer who did Kelsey and Charles' wedding. We LOVE her photos!! Check her out! She also has a package that is in our price range and has everything we want...particularly a CD with all our high res images after the wedding. It even includes an engagement session! Bonus!

Signature Drink?


If we decide to have a signature drink, it would be awesome to have it in a big jar like this, premixed and ready to go! Sur La Table, $70.

Kristin just posted her new Fall collection, "Golden Glamour." Check out her etsy shop to see all her stuff!

Steve and Keely are married!!

We went to Steve and Keely's wedding last night. It was so much fun! We danced the night away. We LOVED the location...the Pickering Barn in Issaquah. We learned some great tricks from them...like having all the decorations packed in tubs with the set up directions taped to the top! They were married on the grass in front of the gazebo, and then the reception was held inside. They said adorable vows to each other that they wrote themselves.

Here is the link for the pictures from Dennis' camera. Some of the captions are rated PG13 for language. ;)




Weekend Wedding



This weekend I went to a wedding in Port Orchard at a golf/casting club for my cousin. It was SUCH a beautiful place!! Here are some pics of the reception area for additional ideas - she had a lighter blue theme... they even had the hanging blue ball things. Oh my - that doesn't sound so good.
The favors were little bubbles wrapped and tied with bows. And the bride/groom containers on the tables had hershey kisses in them. And she made little care packages for the kids for during the ceremony so they would stay quiet and eat snacks. Brilliant!
I really suck at this blogging business. Sorry if everythign is all over the place...

Maids that mix, but match!

Okay, I was up too late last night. But I found a great wedding planner's blog. They were suggesting how best to have Bridesmaids all pick their own style of dress in various shades or one color family. These were the "do" pictures:


I think they look pretty great, but it might take more time coordinating between all of us to make sure Michal likes how all our different dresses look together! Good thing we have plenty of time to plan :) -ME
