The Sweetest Occasion

I’m not entirely sure when I decided I “needed” to Gocco some personalized cocktail napkins, but it was quite some time ago…months ago, in fact. And just when I had decided the cocktail napkins could be pushed to the back burner, Heather (who is my wedding day twin!) posted photos of her awesome cocktail napkins [...]

Remember those kraft paper cupcake boxes I fell in love with? They led me on a quest for miniature kraft paper bakery boxes of my own, which I scored from Big River Packaging, 100 for $19.95 in the 4×4×2.5″ size. I just finished assembling 160 tiny bakery boxes, which will be tied with baker’s twine [...]

My goal for my bachelorette party was to fall down at least once and to be wearing a cute dress and hot shoes while doing so. The verdict? Mission accomplished! Saturday was an absolutely fabulous day, spent with my favorite women in the world – my six bridesmaids and my mother. We started the day [...]

This past Friday, I got a call that my dress was in….again. You may recall the first time that call came, the dress had been cut two inches too short, despite having had my hollow to hem measurement taken in the correct shoes. At first I was really calm, cool and collected about the whole [...]

There are a few things I love about these bridal party photos and reasons why I hope we manage to pull of some shots like this over the course of the wedding weekend…
(1) They’re a little off the beaten path. Aren’t you growing weary of the same ol same ol overly posed wedding party photos?(2) [...]

A few weeks ago, I promised to sneak at least one photo from Krista and Wade’s wedding. Today is your lucky day – I am sneaking you two photos! While the newlyweds are still parading around Europe, I thought now was a good time to get you good and ready for all the amazing photos [...]

These letterpress kraft paper cupcake boxes by Simplesong Design via Ritzy Bee, have totally inspired the direction our favor packaging shall take. Aren’t they beautiful? Lucky for me, I had already purchased many yards of baker’s twine. Lucky for our guests, I’m one hell of a baker. And, of course, the Gocco favor tags will [...]

One of these days in the near future, I am going to share with you the awesomeness that are our letterpress wedding invitations and the great wedding gift that was bestowed upon me by our master calligrapher at Bella Figura and Smock, Debi Zeinert of The Blooming Quill. In the meantime, however, I want to [...]

I want to be this bride on my wedding day. Peaceful, excited, rocking amazing shoes and swimming in a sea of pretty fabric on a fluffy bed. Pure bliss.

Wow. We are officially counting down in weeks until the wedding now, not months. It’s still rather surreal, but also a bit shocking. I can’t believe we’re getting married in 25 days! Needless to say, there is a lot going on these days. My big bachelorette party is this weekend coming up and this past [...]
