Books Up for Grabs

We’ve been doing a major clean-up of our apart­ment ever since we got back from our hon­ey­moon, and this week­end I tack­led most of my pre-wedding stuff. After going through all the piles, I real­ized I had stack of wed­ding books hang­ing around. Truth is I barely cracked most of them, so I can’t really vouch for the con­tent. But I figured […]

2 Month (sort of) Check-In

Well, as usual I’m way behind. This check-in is less like two months and more like 6 weeks! Which is just insane to me. I can­not believe how quickly time is fly­ing. The bad news about the past month is that we did not get a whole lot done (com­pared to the entire list any­way). But the good […]

3 Month Check-In

Whoa. This past Saturday was not only my New York bridal shower and bach­e­lorette party (so much fun), but also the three-month mark in the wed­ding count­down. It’s crazy how quickly 2010 is fly­ing by. As far as our to do list goes, we actu­ally got a lot done this past month. Here’s where we are on […]

5 Month Check-In

Yesterday marked the fact that we are another month closer to the wed­ding so it’s time for a check-in. Here is where we are on last month’s check­list: Find a spot for the rehearsal din­ner (almost booked) Book and plan our hon­ey­moon (decided on a loca­tion: Hawaii!) Find an offi­ciant Design our invi­ta­tions (just begin­ning this…) Finish our wedding […]

6 Month Check-In

As of yes­ter­day we have exactly 6 months until the wed­ding, which is both excit­ing and nerve-wracking at the same time. I real­ize that lately I’ve been talk­ing a lot more about wed­dings in gen­eral than about our own wed­ding, but now that we’re in the home stretch, I’ll be men­tion­ing more details about what we’re work­ing on […]

I Won! And then I didn’t.

Start and stop, high and low. If that doesn’t sum up the past (almost) year of plan­ning then I don’t know what does. There’s been lots of ups and downs, some much more intense than oth­ers, which is never how I imag­ined it would be, but such is life. The other night I attended the Jenny Yoo NYC Soirée […]

Mood Board #1

I finally got around to fin­ish­ing up my first mood board attempt for our wed­ding! It took a lot of time, but it was so much fun. And I’m kind of obsessed with the result. The idea is that the main col­ors will be navy and white with lots of bright jewel tones for accents. It […]

Recession-friendly Wedding Planning

I can’t remem­ber how it is that I learned about this event, because there doesn’t seem to be any info out there aside from this face­book page. But appar­ently the event is being orga­nized by seven indus­try pro­fes­sion­als for “the bride-to-be who has a flair for fash­ion but a cost-conscientious approach for her wed­ding plans.” The orga­niz­ers include […]

Globe Weddings

My Mom mailed me the lat­est issue of Boston Globe wed­dings. I haven’t actu­ally got­ten a chance to look through the mag­a­zine yet, but I’m lov­ing the cover.

Wedding Tools from Mint

I’ve been a lit­tle over­whelmed with try­ing to fig­ure out which wed­ding plan­ning tools to use. I want some sort of appli­ca­tion that would work online because that’s just what’s eas­i­est for me. And there really are a TON out there. So I think this idea from Ellie of Mint is a great one. For the two most impor­tant (and […]
