Its as if you order tickets to a baseball game (ahem <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">NYY</span> vs <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">BOS</span>), you wait in anticipation and when they finally arrive its Christmas morning (or July 13<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">th</span>) and you open them up, inspect them and are just thrilled to hold them in your hand - knowing full well that when you get to this game (or wedding) the excitement will explode onto an awesome event.<br /><br />Enter letter press - the choice (re: expensive) of all exclusive brides. I am not however as fortunate to afford such a luxury item as I am saving (anywhere) to afford not only throwing an awesome wedding/ceremony/reception - but a weekend full of activity PLUS the extra for our honeymoon.<br /><br />So when I saw this post on <a href="http://perfectbound.blogspot.com/2008/09/dingbat-press-custom-letterpress.html">Perfect Bound </a>- i nearly had a heart attack!<br /><br />So i jump over to <a href="http://www.dingbatpress.com/">Dingbat's Letterpress</a>.....and <a href="http://dingbatpress.blogspot.com/2008/09/giveaway-3-sweet-suite.html">read the rules</a> and want to cry. My thoughts for a wedding invite to go with our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">uuber</span> casual wedding in the woods - how awesome would it be to get FREE design AND invitations. My <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">OCD</span> may be in overdrive because it's not my design but as I flip through pages and pages on their blog and website....my heart SOARS!<br /><a href="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_430xN.35895102.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_430xN.35895102.jpg" border="0" /></a> (image <a href="http://dingbatpress.etsy.com/">Dingbat </a>on etsy)<br />I certainly don't need 100 invites - my mere wedding of 90 can be kept to wraps w/ 50 invites, etc. but heck they're BEAUTIFUL! I particularly love all of the floral references....and although delicate the simplicity of the colors, just amazing.<br /><br />So....we wait and see!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042321049222964332.post-52587189246360149722008-09-17T21:01:00.003-04:002008-09-17T21:04:53.292-04:00Cak-ish Ideas!<a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3192/2823588436_45fd571417.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3192/2823588436_45fd571417.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3133/2823588074_108f0bf3f2.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3133/2823588074_108f0bf3f2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>What a beautiful setup....this wedding was awesome all over, but i cannot get over this cute idea.</div><div>[Found at <a href="http://sarahkchen.com/blog/?p=272">Sarah K Chen Photography</a>]</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042321049222964332.post-12217097704260703442008-09-17T20:55:00.001-04:002008-09-17T20:56:44.702-04:00Cool Feathers..<a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3050/2659899352_a12a09187a.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 445px; CURSOR: hand" height="337" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3050/2659899352_a12a09187a.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I love the peacock feathers....From <a href="http://sarahkchen.com/">Sarah K Chen Photography</a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042321049222964332.post-14349049278906686512008-09-17T20:44:00.002-04:002008-09-17T20:44:52.162-04:00InsuranceGotta have it<br /><br /><a href="http://www.wedsafe.com/wedding-insurance/wedding-liability-insurance/">Wed</a> SafeUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042321049222964332.post-12353601653574037902008-09-17T19:32:00.002-04:002008-09-17T20:00:51.959-04:00Suc-who, SUCC-U!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ4No7kw7lhnnVjWtcOj3zTAzAVlMQemcMxPqmlOWvqOc57xC4PvmWJxgHO2XdZzo6Z3N2VLwZXe9gQn-zbh0aDfJp87Qssj_AHcljcKtqVt9q-6Lx2hgC7ZfVidzKpma89NncO1sBVqo/s1600/bout6.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ4No7kw7lhnnVjWtcOj3zTAzAVlMQemcMxPqmlOWvqOc57xC4PvmWJxgHO2XdZzo6Z3N2VLwZXe9gQn-zbh0aDfJp87Qssj_AHcljcKtqVt9q-6Lx2hgC7ZfVidzKpma89NncO1sBVqo/s1600/bout6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ4No7kw7lhnnVjWtcOj3zTAzAVlMQemcMxPqmlOWvqOc57xC4PvmWJxgHO2XdZzo6Z3N2VLwZXe9gQn-zbh0aDfJp87Qssj_AHcljcKtqVt9q-6Lx2hgC7ZfVidzKpma89NncO1sBVqo/s1600-h/bout6.jpg"></a>BOUT - soooooo awesome!

/><br /><br /><div>So my mom and i drove up to Laurel & Greg's on Thursday night - a LONG drive up as for some reason the Connecticut DOT thinks shutting down an interstate to one lane is a SMART thing to do! Thank you TOM-TOM you made driving a whole lot better. We had a lovely morning with Josie, L&G's adorable little girl. She's gotten so big and absolutely a bundle of joy! Once on the road we were in Boston in no time (again thanks TOM-TOM). All of a sudden we found ourselves at the Hynes Convention Center...and no hoo-ah!?! It was crazy - here I was expecting there to be tons and tons and TONS of crazy screaming people. I guess that's what happens when you show up 4 hours after they open the door. There was still dresses EVERYWHERE, and of course possessiveness over dresses that the other brides (or brides-to-be) were trying on or thinking about. I heard lots of screams of joy and excitement...while i was struggling. It seemed like if you were a wedding dress size 8-12 you were golden. I on the other hand am a size 16-20. Yes I know, I KNOW. Devastated with the size - thank you swimming bust size - and annoyed that the selection was sub-par. I was sort of expecting to walk into the Princeton boutique that currently houses my uuber expensive dress yet all the dresses were under a grand. Sadly, this was NOT the case. A lot of the dresses were cheap looking, a lot of them had LONG sleeves and the rest - well hello ball gowns. So i was definitely disappointed but heck I drove all that way, I'm gonna try some on.</div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div>Overall my mom and I had some really good laughs...and I did wind up with a dress. Time will only tell if its <em>the one.</em></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><em></em></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042321049222964332.post-65286120204966072802008-08-10T19:51:00.002-04:002008-08-10T20:04:00.020-04:00my minds churnin' out wine-y thoughts!So on Friday night <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">FI</span> and I went to the racking party for our wine. This is the third step in the process, and where we pump out the wine in the barrel, then spin the barrel around and dump out the sediment and then pump the wine back into the barrel and leave it on the shelf till March 2009. Yup, MARCH 2009 - with a wedding in September 2009 - that leaves six months for the wine to get over bottle shock and mature for our guests to guzzle it down. So while there (and of course drinking wine a plenty) my thoughts started running <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">rampant</span> about introducing wine into equation a little bit more. Here's what I came up with:<br />1) instead of using a a pot or a bowl or whatever, I like the idea of using the grape crates as the base. We can mix up what we put in there, whether ferns or cut flowers (using a block of foam to hold it together) or even rocks/stone and succulents<br />2) using corks scattered around the table with candles<br />3) using corks with the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">place cards</span> stuck in the top, littered in a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">separate</span> box for each table<br />4) using corks in a vase to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">elevate</span> the candle<br />5) using upside-down crates to stack boards for the cupcakes (using a fabric covered board for the display)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042321049222964332.post-17673539772497444192008-07-21T21:52:00.002-04:002008-07-21T22:00:02.618-04:00Camp RentalsOKAY!!! so new plan could be in the works as the original location uped the price and i'm p-i-s-s-e-d....check out what i just found<br /><br /><a href="http://www.rentmycamp.com/">http://www.rentmycamp.com/</a><br /><br />I emailed a bunch of camps....let's see what happens!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042321049222964332.post-81095442590178708382008-07-11T23:45:00.003-04:002008-07-12T00:09:49.581-04:00Colorful Invitations<div> </div><div> </div><br /><div><img style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.weddingpaperdivas.com/products/images/906_c2_front_large.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>Water Lily - Willow (<a href="http://www.weddingpaperdivas.com/products/ProductView_906.htm">wedding paper divas</a>)<br /></div><div><a href="http://www.weddingpaperdivas.com/products/images/758_c2_front_large.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.weddingpaperdivas.com/products/images/758_c2_front_large.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Sea Grass Wedding Invites (<a href="http://www.weddingpaperdivas.com/products/ProductView_758.htm">Sarah Hawkins for Wedding Divas</a>)</div><div><br /><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.weddingpaperdivas.com/products/images/774_front_large.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.weddingpaperdivas.com/products/images/774_front_large.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div><br /><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.weddingpaperdivas.com/products/ProductView_774.htm">Le Papier Boutique for Wedding Paper Divas in Kiwi</a><br /></div><div><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><br /></div><div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042321049222964332.post-1864485899745203392008-07-11T23:10:00.001-04:002008-07-11T23:11:49.339-04:00pretty silk!<a href="http://www.ariadress.com/DescriptionImages/122KA.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.ariadress.com/DescriptionImages/122KA.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>bridesmaid???
