It Is T Time

What gift can you possibly give the women who will stand by your side on the big day?

Surely, no ordinary chachka will cut it for your bridesmaids!

Weddingchicks.com has some super cute, cozy, vintage t-shirts that your bridesmaid might actually want to wear!

Just go to http://www.weddingchicks.com/shop for these ts and other fun, non-cheesy stuff.

Hair, Hair, Hair, Hair!

To be (worn up)...

Or...

Not to be (worn up)...

That is the question.

Yes, it is the ultimate question for the bride and her mom when it comes to deciding on how to wear the hair on the big day.

My mom and I fell in love with the style above that certainly qualifies as "up," but still feels natural, simple and clean.

In fact, over the next few days, we're scheduled for a few hair & make-up trials. Can't wait!

Sealing The Envelope

Thank you to the folks at Arrow Stationary in New Jersey for spending what I am sure were several exhausting hours with us as we determined the right colors, font type, spacing, wording, and so on and so on of the Save-The-Dates!

We finally sealed the deal (or shall we say the envelope!) of our Save-The-Dates! Check out the cute tri-fold design that has a perforated edge at the bottom so guests can tear off their very own calendar and maybe even put on their fridge!

The above images don't do the card justice (and they're in the wrong color), but provide a bit of an idea.

Save Us...From Save The Dates!

For any wedding-obsessed (or shall we say it a bit more gently, wedding-involved?) bride-to-be and her mother, the Save-The-Date card is a big bridal deal.

It is the first, official time that the bride and her mom are making a statement to the world about the look, tone, feel and mood of the upcoming nuptials.

In true "Will You Marry Me...And My Mom?" fashion, my mom and I have been searching for the perfect Save-The-Date. That's where WeddingPaperDivas.Com came in very handy. Check them out: www.weddingpaperdivas.com.

Not only is their site a breeze to navigate, but they send you samples of their invites, so you can get a sense of the paper quality and colors. Check out some samples that came right to our front door!

All The (Wedding) News That's Fit To Print

No wedding obsession would be complete without the hunt for the perfect Save-The-Date cards. Along with this obsessive quest comes a flurry of questions: how can the cards be whimsical, but not childish? How can they be informative, but not cold? How can they give a sense of the wedding theme and color palette?

And with time ticking towards wedding day, the pressure is on!

Here are a few Save-The-Date options that fit our wedding's color palette.
