Almost all of the envelopes for our save-the-dates are addressed, thank gawd. I'm not going to show you the save-the-dates because Jamie has a much better camera. We spent last night gluing, stuffing and folding (and drinking beer & eating pizza). I can't wait to get them OUTTA HERE!

Also, check out Jamie's rad brunch decor - as pretty as the food was tasty!

Vintage Weddings: Bridesmaids

Check out Noa's post on vintage bridesmaid dresses. There are some great never-before-seen photos of her wedding! I've been begging her to post the rest!

Bleu Boheme Wedding

Loving this San Diego wedding at the Marston House (love this venue even if they have raised their rates ridiculously!) and my new favorite restaurant (I want to live inside of it forever) Bleu Boheme.

Crafty Christmas

{source...this picture just makes me happy}

For weeks I have been talking and thinking about aaaaall the wedding projects that I was going to accomplish of the holiday break. Yeah, well, guess what...big shocker to me...the holiday break starts NEXT.WEEK. I am so not even ready.

Here's the to-do list (for now):

• Save-the-dates need to be in my hot little hand, addressed, stamped and out the door on Jan 4th-ish*

• Start sewing my invite stuff (you'll see)

• Get sewing machine to sew said invites

• Millions and millions of feet of garlands that look a little like this

• Table #s

*This morning we met with Jamie re: save-the-dates and I can't stop thinking about them. They are pure amazingness. But really are we surprised when her invites looked like this? After the folding party in a couple of weeks we'll be able to take pictures and show you.

Initial Purchase

I have been on the hunt for initials of some sort to have in the house and display somewhere at the wedding. Vintage, metal, wood, whatever. They are tricky little buddies to track down. I could never find the right letters or they were too expensive. I tried EBay, etsy, everything. Finally, today I came across these letters from Urban Outfitters for...$8/each! I'm so excited...too bad they're backordered until March! My initial placement options for our names was either WE or...EW. Guess which one I'm choosing.

This is probably one of the most beautiful weddings I have come across. Dancing all night long, sunrise ceremony and color, color, color!

Sharing Stuff

I know I post a lot of wedding porn here but typically I only share the pretty stuff with my husband-to-be when I want to know how he feels about incorporating a detail or two into the planning. Most of the time the stuff I share with him is about the bigger questions and what happens after the wedding day. AND more often than not those posts come from a single source - the most practical of them all. I sent this post to him right away because I too think that some sort of pre-marital conversation needs to occur before anything becomes official. Even if things are all hunky-dory and roses there are just some questions that I would never think to ask him, nevermind ask myself, that a professional could bring to the table. I thought the points that Meg made were really important and should be things all engaged couples at least think about if not talk about.
