I had mentioned in previous posts that several of our wedding keepsakes have become subtle mementos in our home. One of my first decorating tasks was finding a way to incorporate a few of the meaningful details from the wedding into part of our everyday life and lasting reminders of our day. I achieved this [...]

1142.... that's the number of wedding photos J and I get to look through to pick out our favorites! It's a tall order, but we're up for it! Our photographer posted our proofs a couple of weeks ago and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. It has been so fun to flip through [...]
"Today's post is authored by Jeff Murnan. He is my husband and creator of jeffmurnan.com. Thanks Jeff for sharing how you prepared with the DJ to make our reception a hit!" The music and entertainment at your wedding reception is crucial to ensure that the event goes off without a hitch and that the guests [...]
I could go on for ages about how amazing our honeymoon was, but I'll try to keep this short. The photos really sum it up better than I could. J planned the ENTIRE trip and did a great job - plus, it was so fun to have one extra surprise after the wedding. So where [...]
Picking out the groomsmen gifts was surprisingly fun! J wanted to venture away from the standard choices and do something a little different. Once he thought of a theme, grilling, everything else fell into place. J had an awesome idea of ordering the groomsmen personalized spatulas, and as luck would have it, the company Sportula [...]
J and I were so happy when we stumbled upon our cake vendor, Cake Specialists. We chose strawberry and classic vanilla for our guests. Our tiered cake added a chocolate layer to the mix. It was SO good - strawberry was definitely my favorite (along with our guests). J and I were so caught up [...]
I don't think I've ever formally introduced you to my sister Rachel - she's my best friend, matron of honor and amazing mama to the cutest 2 year old I know. She's also the brains behind the brooch bouquet I used at our rehearsal. I really should have her writing this post, but she's extremely [...]
The flowers were absolutely essential to creating the look and feel I was going for on our wedding day. I wanted our guests to feel like they were at a garden party - easygoing and relaxed. I wanted the room to feel green and lush. Rather than cluttering the ballroom with tons of decor, I [...]
Even with so many fabulous Pinterest ideas pinned to my wedding board, I was determined not to overcomplicate the day with too many DIY projects. I did however pick out a few special projects to satisfy my crafty side and add a personal touch to the day. One of my favorites was the "happily ever [...]
Have I ever mentioned how much I love washi tape? No? Well I LOVE washi tape. I seriously think it can be used for anything. And in our wedding prep, I did just that! I purchased some adorable designs from SugarBSupplies on Etsy to use on our bridesmaid/groomsmen gift wrapping and ended up carrying the theme through to our [...]
I had SO much fun picking out gifts for my fabulous bridesmaids. These girls are all the nearest and dearest to my heart, so I wanted them to know how much it meant to me that they were part of our big day. I found beautiful Eliot Danori jewelry at Macy's for the girls to [...]
