Anatomy of a Wedding Invitation
November 16, 2014
Wedding invitations are one of the first impressions your guests will have about your wedding. It will set the tone for the degree of casual/fancy, the decorations, and theme. These ‘pieces of paper’ can get expensive though. We bought our magnet Save the Dates from Wedding Paper Divas, so I’ll use them as an example. […]
Wedding Day Schedule
September 1, 2014
It has been a few weeks since our wedding and honeymoon (which were both amazing)! I’m excited to start blogging about it all, but I will spread it out over the next few months. My goal is not to show off how cool I thought my wedding was (although it was exactly what I wanted). […]
Visual Layout For Your Wedding
June 30, 2014
With the wedding fast approaching, I’m now finalizing the logistics and details. Thankfully, this weekend some of our family and a few friends helped us with wedding crafts and preparing our house for the rehearsal dinner. They got so much done; it was a huge help! Most of my bridesmaids couldn’t come, so I was even more […]
Wedding Cake Tasting with 8 the Cake!
June 7, 2014
8 the Cake is my cousin Cynthia’s new cake business, but she has already made many cakes this year. Her and her boyfriend made Tyler’s Lineman cake (see post) and it was amazing! I feel like cakes don’t really need many words, so here are the pictures! These beautiful cakes were just for tasting and they looked […]
Easy DIY Ring Bearer Pillow Instructions
May 31, 2014
Pillows are one of the easiest things to sew and making your own ring bearer pillows is a simple way to save money. Our nautical wedding colors are navy blue and clover green; by accident I started using the chevron pattern too in our wedding decor. Since they are popular right now, there are lots […]
100 Days Until Our Wedding & We Decide To Remodel Our Kitchen
May 8, 2014
Now, I know this sounds reckless, crazy, and fast. But, we actually have been thinking about remodeling our kitchen for over a year. We have been saving our money, spending less, growing our money (stocks – Tyler says it’s been his hobby since he was a kid) and working more (overtime in Tyler’s case & side […]
Bachelorette Weekend: Dancing and Wine & Cheese Tour
May 6, 2014
This weekend was my bachelorette party. We started Friday night going out to Masa on 6th Ave. in Tacoma doing the more traditional dancing and drinking. We woke up early the next morning to drive north for a wine and cheese tour on the Washington peninsula. As we pull up to the first stop, Finnriver […]
My Secret to Organized & Stress-free Wedding Planning
April 26, 2014
Wedding planning is a huge undertaking, especially if you want to invite hundreds of people, have particular tastes, or enjoy DIY. Like any good MBA, I love spreadsheets. When it came time to plan my wedding, I knew my first step was to create one with many tabs and cross-references that was still easy to use […]
Making Wedding Invitations
April 12, 2014
My sister, the Maid of Honor, has been working hard the past few days on the invitations with me. She’s on spring break, so I capitalized on the opportunity. 🙂 My roommate and bridesmaid printed the invitations, which deserves a huge thanks. Funny story about that… she asked a co-worker if she could print the […]
Engagement Photos with St. Bernard Dog
March 28, 2014
We are slightly obsessed with our St. Bernard puppy, Sherman, so he had to be in our engagement photos. He did great at the photo shoot and only barked a few times when we wanted to join us. He was trying to eat a treat in this one, but I think it fell through the […]
