The three siblings have children that can be incorporated into the …

While searching for coral yesterday I came across Passion Paper, a company specializing in custom invitations inspired by nature.  These are *perfect* for destination weddings!

The hand-detailing is wonderful – you can see a handpainted pineapple in the bottom right, and a clearly attended to leaf in the gorgeous wine label.

To add to the crazy days and nights, my father in law called late last week with a catering emergency.  He works in the restaurant business, and a close …

I’m intrigued by a recent thread on the Unbrides forum.  We’re discussing ceremony music and I’m surprised (but happy) about the number of people choosing to use non-traditional tunes.  So I thought I’d carry that over here and ask our loyal readers – are you using (or are you a fan of using) non-traditional music for the processional and recessional?  …

Ask any one of my friends and family what my favorite food is, and they will all answer the same:  CAKE.  I have such a sweet tooth, and my absolute greatest weakness is frosting.  My mouth is watering just typing that word…frosting.  But I digress.  I’m sure it came as a great shock when I decided not to serve a …
