Well, I am supposed to be spending the next 10 days with my bestest friend, who's Mother (on Tuesday) lost her battle with cancer. My flight to Clermont-Ferrand, France leaves in a few hours - IF THE BLIZZARD DOESN"T CANCEL MY FLIGHT!!!!!!! Uggghhh, I am so frustrated because I want nothing more than to be next to my bestie during this so very difficult time in her life. Keep your fingers

I just got the news from our UBER talented photographer Ananda Lima that our wedding was featured on Rock 'n Roll Bride here! How kick-ass is that???I am a huge fan of Kat's, especially her hot pink hair that reminds me of my Mr.'s pink mohawk he had over 10 years ago when we met. Her blog is full of some of the most amazing photography you've ever seen. If you are ever lacking inspiration

I am loving this idea that I just saw over at Craft Gossip.These napkin rings would be so lovely for a backyard wedding and if you used burlap it would be totally cost effective. Head over here for the how-to.

Well, I have decided o sell my centerpieces. It took me over a month to realize that I cannot go on with 12 vases in my kitchen. They were a labor of love and now they must find a new home. I did, however, keep one for myself... actually 2 (I almost came to terms with it). I have decided not to ship those bad boys because they are quite heavy so if you know anyone in the Philly/Wilmington

Low and behold, I find an email from our more than amazing photographer, Ananda Lima, with the first of our wedding photos! First let me say that without Ananda, our day would not have been complete.

We totally wanted to get in on the whole photobooth craze for our wedding, mainly to give people something else to do if they weren't up for dancing. But, we just ran out of time and could pull it off.But if you're more organized than I and plan to have a kick ass photobooth, it wouldn't be complete without the infamous mustache on a stick. There are some great options out there but honestly,

Since our ceremony was just a quick 10 minute ordeal and in the same location as our reception, we didn't go through the hassle of hiring musicians/singers. Instead we had Mr. K's Best Man, Brad Podray (of nonexistent recordings, Stabilizer, Echo Slightly, My Shadow and I, Danoteck, Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew, Maximalism, Blood and Batteries, Filmographers, and Psychaesthetic (Mr. K on

Well, everyone, our wedding was this past Saturday and I still can't believe it's over. Everything was just lovely and I cried more than I thought I would have. We had heard it may rain that day, then the forecast was changed to a few snow flurries, and we couldn't believe it when there ended up being around 4-5 inches of beautiful snow on the ground! It was absolutely freezing when we were

So as I mentioned, briefly, in my last post, I DIY'd our guest book. I took a great black Martha Stewart album that I got on clearance at Michael's for $3, bought black and grey card stock (20 sheets for$2.99), and double stick taped my unused damask place cards to the card stock, and added some black and white ribbon that I had laying around to the outside cover making a "wish book" instead of

Well, my friends, the wedding is coming up faster than I could have imagined and it has consumed my thoughts (I am even dreaming wedding). I went back to my Mothers house this past weekend to finish up a few things and, let me tell you, I was banging out DIY projects left and right. I finished our cake stand, which I am in love with, checked my double headband off the list, place cards, table

Since I was able to snag my dress for half price (brand new with tags still attached) from somewhere other than a bridal shop, I didn't have the advantage of getting my dress altered "in house". I wasn't totally upset about this problem as the seamstress at David's Bridal quoted me over $300 for alterations!So, when it came time to get my girl all snug and fitted, I remembered a post I had read

So the invites have gone out and the R.S.V.P. date was yesterday and out of 50 invites, I've only received 18 back. I'm really not sure how long to wait until more start rolling in. But the total count is due soon and I'm starting to get a bit nervous. What is the proper etiquette in these matters, and has anyone else suffered such a big "non" response?I started doing the seating charts and

So, a few posts ago I alerted everyone to our amazing news. My Mr. finally got a job (the one he really wanted) and we had to move to Delaware. Equipped with a babysitter, the Mr. and I traveled down to DE in his brothers truck (if you'll remember we were living in Scotland, U.K. and had no car, no place to live, etc. when we returned home to the States) and had 1 day to find a suitable place

You may (or may not) remember that I fell hard for Design Whimsy's bouquets. I think they are so out of the ordinary, beautiful, and green (using all recycled fabrics). However, being a thrifty bride, I couldn't afford one. So I took my inspiration from her, gathered up all my fabric scraps, and leftover items, and got to work.The project only cost me around $7.00 ($4.00 for the bouquet holder

I received my JFlops in the mail yesterday (or maybe 2 days ago...I have no recollection of time at this point). They are absolutely adorable, to say the least. Jennifer allowed me to customize everything and she was a pleasure to work with. I adore my bridal shoes (you can also adore them here if you'd like) but I knew I wouldn't be able to dance on them all night long and my JFlops are the

Today, as I woke up to my 3 year old jumping on me and a million wedding things spinning around in my head, I never thought our day would end up like it did.I decided to try to get a job at the local childcare facility (I loved this idea because there was a chance I could bring my little guy to work). So I got all dolled up, sent a quick e-mail to my BM, and started getting my coat on when my Mr

So sorry for the delay in posts but life never seems to go the way you would like. Since we returned back to the States in September, we have been unable to find employment, a place to live, and not to mention we cannot get a car because we have so many school loans no one will give us a chance (but I guess it doesn't quite matter without a job). And with a little one it has certainly taken

I just finished a quick project (unfortunately I forgot to put it on my to-do list so I don't really get to check anything off).I purchased our initials at Michael's using my 40% off coupons and making 3 separate trips to the register. I got black matte spray paint from Walmart for $0.96 and got to sprayin'. Then I stapled my lovely damask ribbon on to the back of each letter et viola...

There's nothing I like better than something free, especially for the wedding! I have been digging through tons and tons of free fonts from Da Font and Fonts 101 when finally I came to one that I remembered falling for on a project from one of the Bee's at WeddingBee. The name of the font is Albemarle Swash and it is just adorable! I don't know if it goes with everything that we are doing but

Don't get me wrong, we LOVE children... we have a 3 year old son, and like any parents we absolutely adore him. But, after attending a family members wedding 2 weeks ago we have decided, without a doubt, that it will be an adult reception.Two weeks ago, after trying to keep a 3 year old quiet in a church and taking him outside and missing the ceremony, we proceeded to the reception site. There,

Well, it's been more than a month since my last post but a lot of changes have happened for my family and I. First off, we made our big move from Scotland back to the States. It really wasn't easy leaving our friends and such a wonderful city (I highly recommend Edinburgh for a holiday) or traveling with a toddler for 12+ hours, but we made it with all of our lives packed into 9 suitcases! We

Well, my readers, I once again apologize for the lack of posts but we seem to be having a severe case of family problems at the moment.  I promise to come back with some great new posts in the near future!

So, we have already booked our D.J for the wedding and we know that out of everyone at the wedding only about 4 would appreciate our style of music so we tried to branch out. We have a lot of Beatles and other such classics but when it comes down to GOOD DANCE songs (one's that aren't industrial, too metal or scary for the guests in any way) we're kinda at a loss. I have thought about putting a

I thought I would share with everyone a poem that my love wrote for me. Every holiday, birthday or special occasion I only ask for a card with something special written in it (I'm a cheap date) and the words that fill the pages are too beautiful not to share with someone so I hope you enjoy it:Our love has been a long spacetouching many worldsWhat to me a light that rollsacross skies pale and

Although I am madly in love and obsessed with the heels I chose for the wedding I know there will be no way I will be dancing the night away in 4 inch heels. So along came J Flops to the rescue. Jennifer creates the most adorable flip flops to go along with your wedding day attire and if you don't see a style you like you can totally customize your flops to fit what you're looking for.

Since deciding to change my dress (that's right the Pronovias gown is for sale if anyone is interested) I have been drooling over some of the boleros for sale on Etsy. The prices are really out of my range but that certainly doesn't stop me from staring. And I've been trying to come up with a friend or family member who might be able to make one for me. Check out some of these lovelies:

My laptop is broken...again! AAARRRGGG! I would like to throw it out of my window right now except all of my beloved pictures are stored there so it remains inside the flat. I have so much I want to share with you but without my computer I am utterly useless (except for when my Mr. lets me use the Mac). So just a heads up that my posts (once again) may be few and far between. I do have a new

So last I left you I was off for my 1st phototherapy session for my pathetic hands. I took the 20 minute bus ride (this only seemed like a long trip because I was so excited), went to the dermatology center, sat and waited until they called my name and then I went in for what was supposed to be a very exciting appointment.I went in and was asked a few general questions about my skin and from

For some brides their worries may be whether their cake will be droopy, if all of the flowers will arrive on time, will they pass out at the alter, or will the groom get cold feet. I have not even thought about any of those terrible things happening to us but instead, ever since he placed the ring on my finger, I have been worried about how my hands will be on our day.You see, I not only suffer

A few weeks back I told you all about my S/D's (that's right, S/D seems much more appropriate than saying STD's) that I ordered from Vistaprint. With all of the coupons that I had saved up in my inbox I was able to get 100 postcards for $11.00 (and that was including shipping)! I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Simple and to the point and only took me about and hour to do, which

So a few posts back I told you about Etsy seller Donnaella who came to my rescue with her TOTALLY affordable and beautiful birdcage veils. Well, a few days ago I received an email from Donna with pictures of the finished product. Even though I haven't seen them in person yet I must say, I was blown away with her attention to detail and communications with me as I frequently emailed her with new

I first came upon this awesome idea for a bridesmaids dress right after my girls had purchased their dresses (Ugghhh) but if I had seen them earlier, my girls would certainly be sporting these for the big day. They are amazingly versatile, come in a variety of colors and can totally be used after the wedding. You can find them on sale over at Get Married and just add in the 15% coupon code (

I have always been a fan of Tigerlilly since I first saw their limited edition fine silver and Swarovski crystal birdcage veil. Not only do they have veils but they also carry jewelry, bags, hair accessories, and bridesmaids gifts. It's your one place shop for everything accessories.And speaking of that L.E. Birdcage Veil, if the $700 price tag is a bit steep for you, you can now rent it for a

We won't be needing these for our "faux" five minute ceremony but I'm sure there are some of you out there that could use a good template or two. The first was found via Vintage Glam Blog and is from the HP website if you can believe it. It is a gatefold style and comes in a variety of prints.Download green gatefold templateDownload purple gatefold templateDownload gray gatefold

I have been swooning over Jenny Packham dresses for over a week now (how in the hell did I not know about her before) and just thought I'd share more amazing designs with you. I just love the romantic vintage vibe they give off and the way the fabric flows results in wedding dress harmony! I'll try to make this my last Jenny Packham post but I can't promise anything. So for now enjoy the

As soon as I saw this gown my jaw dropped! It is everything I want in my gown (except for the outrageous price tag). The U.K. designer is Jenny Packham and her gowns are FABULOUS!!! The style I am in love with is called Selene and it is pure beauty from head to toe *drool*!

While looking through all of the blogs that I follow, I found this AH-MA-ZING post from One Wed that told about a dress shop called Unique Vintage. How I never heard of this place is beyond me, but the gowns are vintage and celebrity inspired AND are VERY affordable (some starting at $98)!

Jennifer Paganelli and Carla Crim came out with a awesome how-to over at Sis Boom and I hope that you all enjoy it and make some lovely rosettes of your own.

So my little adventure into making my own birdcage veil didn't turn out as well as I had hoped...boooo! I guess I just don't have the skills for making one (at least for making it so it looked right on my head). So I'm not really sure what to do from here...being so "frugal" I just can't see spending $50 or more on one so I guess for now I am at a dead end. But just to keep you updated, here

My Mr. and I decided that as one of the Grooms men's gifts we would give homemade cuff links. I wanted them to match some of our damask patterns and my Mr. loved the idea. So after researching and not coming up with much I decided to come up with my own method. I am not a professional by any means but if you have any questions and my instructions are not clear please feel free to contact me!

Although I am not looking forward to an 8 hour flight and a 3 hour drive home from the airport with my toddler, I will finally get to see and try on my Pronovias wedding dress when I arrive at my mother's!

From the very beginning of planning our wedding I knew I wanted to wear a birdcage veil. I just wasn't a "regular" veil type of girl. I fell in love with how wonderfully vintage they looked and reminded me of playing dress-up with my Grandmother and wearing her pillbox hats when I was a little girl. However, a birdcage veil for a bride on an extreme budget was almost out of the question. As

Last night I was so excited when I found the great black vases for our centerpieces! I immediately went online to try to order 4 cases of them, but where was the option to have them shipped to the store (for free I might add)? Turns out, after taking to customer service, the distribution warehouse in my state didn't have them in stock and the only way to get them would be to pay a shipping and

I have been searching high and low for black vases for our centerpieces but no matter what I happened to find they were either not the right size or way out of my budget. Cue The Dollar Tree, I've am constantly checking their site for vases (they do have some great choices) but nothing I'd be REALLY happy with...until today.

I had been drooling over this pair of shoes by COAST for quite some time but the high price tag kept me just drooling and not buying.

I love the vintage feel of Etsy seller Twigs & Honey's pieces! I just love the velvet millinery pieces she uses in her boutonnieres and her hair accessories and veils are to die for! Check out her shop if you haven't already - I guarantee you'll fall head over heels, too!

Well, right now I'm borrowing the Mr.'s computer because the power cord for mine has broken... hence the no blogging.  So until I receive a new one (in 2-3 weeks) the blogging will be few and far between.  But on a brighter note, I'll be traveling back to the States in May for a 3 week visit with the family.  This will be a great time to spend with my BM's and get a ton of wedding DIY

Well, I haven't blogged anything for almost a month so I do apologize. There has been a lot going on here like birthday parties and more recently some sort of sickness that kept me immobilized for almost a week and I'm still not 100%. Ugggghhh!!! Anyway, to keep everyone updated, unfortunately we didn't win the Jen Curtis photography contest :( I think I actually shed a few tears when I heard

I just saw an post over at Offbeat Bride about her diy crinoline adventure. Suddenly I remembered that I, too, wanted to dye my crinoline but can't decide if I want to go black (to keep with the wedding colors) or go fire engine red (for an unexpected punch of color). So, what do you think...will it be red or black?

I've been a on kick lately for finding bridesmaids dresses. I'm sure I will regret not going with all of my lovely ladies and doing this as a group, but seeing as how I'll only have 2 months from the time I return home to our wedding day, I just didn't think I'd have enough time to get everything accomplished. So, I happened to stumble upon Target's website and found these lovely Isaac

Today, I stumbled upon a great little shop on Etsy called Modern Romance. Not only does she make birdcage veils and hair accessories but she also makes wraps, jewelry, handbags, and ring bearer pillows! All of her pieces are just so amazingly romantic...If I could afford the sweetheart veil (perhaps with one of her crushed velvet roses attached) I'd have it paid for and in the post as we speak

So, I've decided to try my hand at calligraphy, something I used to do when I was younger, and I think the results are quite nice. So far I have about 3/4 of my guest list done. Since I am so happy with the results, I think I'm going to try calligraphy on a few more details...what do you think?

Wouldn't these look amazing on the Groom and all of the groomsmen? Etsy is such a wonderful place to find inspiration, I just can't get enough! You can find the ties above made by RokGear here. And if damask isn't your cup of tea they have plenty of other designs to choose from.

Along my diligent efforts to find inexpensive d.i.y. projects, I stumbled upon a great template for black and white paper thanks to Martha Stewart. With a few slight alterations (taking away the words "Deck the Halls", adding our initials and wedding date, and cutting a slot in the top box) this will make a great wedding card box...don't you think?

So, since becoming totally engulfed with everything wedding, I have discovered that I am totally in love with wedding photography. So much so that I think once I am able to go back to school - I would like to make this my area of expertise and EVENTUALLY open my own business. The idea of being with a couple on one of the happiest days of their lives and capturing all of the beautiful moments

Well, for my 1st ever post I suppose I should give a small back story to my crazy life. Kyle and I have been together since High School (yeah, we're that disgusting couple) and really haven't done anything conventionally. We had a son together in 2006, got engaged in March of 2007, and started planning our wedding for September of '09 until we got the news that we'd be moving to Scotland for
