I am so excited to finally be sharing picture of our wedding invitations with all of you. They went out a couple weeks ago and we have already received over 20 RSVP cards! I designed, printed and assembled them myself and my fiance drew the flower flourish at the top. My mom, moh and junior bridesmaid all helped with the …

As promised in an earlier post, here are a few of the fabulous professional pictures from Mike’s brother’s wedding on November 6. It was a beautiful day in San Tan Valley, Arizona at Encanterra Country Club. The photographers are my favorites, Davis Wedding Photographers. There are so many amazing pictures, but one of my favorites is this sunset picture of …

Stephen and I wanted a very traditional invitation and modeled ours after his maternal grandparents’ wedding announcement. A friend kindly sent an extra invitation from her recent wedding, so I used her classy, traditional Crane & Co. invitation as my guide when I searched online, in stores, and even at office supply stores (with the thought of buying only a few invitations …

As a bit of a traditionalist at heart, I wasn’t sure if a wedding website was something that I wanted to do.  In my dream wedding world, we would have an endless budget to spend on beautifully letter pressed stationary like these from Pistachio Press,  Egg Press and eco-friendly options from Night Owl Paper Goods to send to our family …

That’s the question we’ve found ourselves faced with this weekend. After a whirlwind week, leaving town unexpectedly after the loss of a family member, and dealing with a very new emotion: grief… the dust settled and we realized… we still have to make this wedding happen. My countdown widget on my Mac Dashboard reads…*GULP*… 47 days. I suppose it’s time …

I fancy myself a fairly crafty person, but I’m also a fairly busy person, so I didn’t figure on incorporating a lot of DIY projects into my wedding preparations. Making table numbers and creating a guest book in Blurb with our engagement photos were definitely the easiest things I did myself. But the bigger projects I took on – our …

Because we have a lot of family and friends who will be travelling from out of state, we wanted to make sure there was ample notice given in order to secure travel arrangements.  We decided on Save the Date magnets as a fun alternative to a card.

The bar we had our engagement party at – burned down (that one really hurt me and my social life)

I have told Jeremy that …

Save the Dates are a perfect opportunity to express your wedding’s style and theme but sometimes also a perfect opportunity to blow a lot of your wedding budget before you even get to the big stuff. To help keep the budget on track, I’ve gathered some of my personal favorite save the date downloads and templates below. …

Planning a wedding has opened me up to so many new things in so many different areas. While I expected to learn about wedding etiquette, dress styles and fabrics, invitation wording…you know, the stereotypical wedding stuff, what surprises me the most is how much I learned about graphic design and print. Well, maybe not learned, but was exposed to…I still …
