Letting go of perfect
I am settling now. And even though the word “settling” has a negative connotation, it is most emphatically NOT a negative feeling. Maybe it’d be better to say that I have re-prioritized? But semantics are just that, and I am settling — happily settling -– for less than everything I wanted for my wedding
Sarah Joy & Joseph’s modern and minimalist, welding wedding
Sarah Joy & Joseph wanted to celebrate their wedding in a way that was truly them. They decided to throw a “welding” ceremony because both of their jobs involve welding. What an original way to symbolize the fusion of two people into one unit!
April & Zack’s handfasting ceremony and murder mystery luncheon
Most of April & Zack’s friends don’t dance, so they were forced to come up with a creative form of entertainment for their wedding. Their solution: murder mystery game!
How to make funky frosted glass centerpieces
The sky is the limit with this idea… beakers, mason jars, intricate vases, dollar store vases etc. Minimal materials are involved, and they will create one helluva’n ambiance.
Strapless unmentionables: A “minus size” round up
I loved reading Andrea’s advice for finding plus size long line bras. However, I happen to be at the opposite end of that spectrum. After seeing a few comments requesting a “minus size” round up, I thought it was time for me to step in and represent those of us who are not as, erm “well-endowed.” (FYI this post has pictures of ladies in their undergarments so it’s probably NSFW.)
Rebecca & Kain Kaare’s vintage, camp ground, tea party wedding
We were on a very tight budget and ended up spending only $3000 including our wedding clothes, rings, and the honeymoon. We had the wedding party at a campground to save cash. For food, I made alot myself but also got sandwiches from Jimmy Johns because it’s my favorite food. Kaare drew the design for our wedding invitation so we were able to make those ourselves.
We went with an eclectic look; clashing bright colors (mostly orange and paisley), bowls of skittles mingled with tea cups, and cupcake stands we made ourselves out of vintage plates. We also included my husband’s heritage by having a traditional Norwegian wedding cake in addition to the cupcakes.
