Sprinkle Soiree: The Ceremony (Kids and Kisses!)

Before we get to the big grand finale moment of the ceremony, let’s chat a bit about kidlets. Whether or not you have children as a part of your ceremony, or guests at your wedding, is a totally personal decision. However, I am a huge advocate for having kids present! Just remember, if they are present, they will get bored during the ceremony

Fly Free, Little Invites!

I’ve shown you all the individual components of the invitations, but now that they’re off in space (or in peoples’ homes, since we’ve already received a few RSVPs!), I thought I would show you how they all came together and do a price breakdown. This is what people will see first: my so-so handwriting with a simple roller pen, and standard USPS $0.44 wedding stamps.

Pretty Pretty Petals

Lest you fear that I don’t have serious love for flowers of ALL stripes, I give you… The Tale of our Trip to The LA Flower Mart! So, one day last September, the obsessive planner/crazy-bride-to-be in me had a brilliant idea: we should go to the Flower Mart to scout the types of flowers that would be available next year! (Did I say brilliant? I may have meant cuckoo…) But I didn’t stop there! Nope! I figured we could even make a few arrangements to test drive the milk glass that was already taking over our kitchen island. Yay! So I quickly threw together a flower inspiration board to guide our journey: clockwise from left: source , source , source , source , source , source , source , source , source , source , source , source The following day, in honor of our wedding being less than one year away and both of us having a surprise day off, we headed down to the LA Flower Mart to check out what was available.

Not Quite Shredded… Yet

OMG, Jillian Michaels, or JM as I like to call her, you are kicking my butt! So I went through quite a few different exercise programs- P90X, Yoga, Pilates and now the 30 Day Shred . While each is good for different reasons, my favorite is the Shred. I feel like I’m working really hard, but I don’t have to commit too much time.

Branches Filled with Love…

I have acquired a love of Manzanita branches. This will tie in nicely with the bird/tree décor inspiration that I’ve accumulated thus far! My biggest inspiration, and hopefully a huge focal point for our venue, is a wish tree guest book.

Let’s Add Another DIY to the List, Shall We? (Or: My Veil)

I never really thought too much about veils, even after trying on wedding dresses. I narrowed down what I didn’t like pretty quickly as consultants tried to get me to don giant poofy pieces of tulle: I didn’t want a blusher, or any added volume at the top.

I Want to Go to There

As a couple for which the decision of where to have dinner yields multiple discussions and analysis (most common answer: “Now I’m too hungry to walk outside! Let’s order in”), choosing our honeymoon destination was no easy task. Should we go for a lazy beach getaway or an old city tour

Quirky and fun food trends (Toronto Sun)

Food trends are like New Year’s resolutions — they show up like clockwork at the start of a new year. From the trendy to the traditional, the austere to the outrageous (are we weary of fusion already?) food trends define our lifestyles in more ways than one.
