my wedding: on style me pretty

Landlocked Bride — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 15:49:50 +0000

I never once though throughout my planning process to submit my own wedding for publication or feature. I planned our wedding by incorporating the things that were important to me and my husband, and to complement our style. And, the amazing part about it all, is that when the wedding day come and went, I remembered every single detail. So much so, that every time I look at photos, the memories are so vivid in my mind. Like I am back at that September day.

After the wedding, I sat on sharing it anywhere (including Weddingbee) for a number of reasons. But, mostly because I kept weighing the decision of whether or not to submit it anywhere. Was there a fear of rejection? Maybe a little. But I also wasn’t ready to share it just yet. I wanted to keep it to myself just a little longer. After having experienced some of the best weddings this year with my clients, the bug bit me to submit it somewhere. Anywhere. I was ready to share. Ready to share the fun we had. Ready to share the love. Ready to share the color. And, much to my surprise, the wonderful ladies at Style Me Pretty were thrilled to share it with you all. Today, you can catch a glimpse into my planning process, and share so much of what I share (and encourage) with my clients and you, my readers, on a regular basis. I cannot begin to tell you how full my heart is to share this with you all, and how full my heart is at just reliving my wedding day. All over.

Yup, there is a part two. Kevin was nice enough to prepare a little Epilogue from our reception – which I think quite accurately represents how much fun our guests had.

wedding photo friday

Landlocked Bride — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 17:32:18 +0000

One day late, but today’s Wedding Photo Friday is a thankful post. One filled with love, gratitude, happiness, friendship, and memories. The pilot and my wedding day is one that is still so fresh in my memory (and one in his, too). We still find ourselves thinking of the fun we had, the love we felt and that everything was worth it.

I promise, I’ll be recapping the wedding…it’ll just be after the holiday season.

thursday purseday

Landlocked Bride — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 14:53:11 +0000

While I start working through some of the fabulous real wedding submissions thanks to Two Bright Lights, I had to toss in a version of my own “Thursday Purseday.” This set is brought to you straight from our wonderful wedding photographer, Lisa Hessel. We opted to have our gals carry clutches instead of bouquets. It was a little bit more practical (like me). Plus, the flower is a brooch the girls can remove and use the clutch in its plain version (or with the flower, if they so choose).

I had the clutches made from a seller on Etsy, Babbs Boutique. And, I couldn’t recommend her more!

P dot S – Full recaps will be coming up soon, including honeymoon details. All over on Weddingbee!

I happened to be a two shoe bride on my wedding day. While, I love those Kate Spades, lets face it, my feet could not handle 12 hours in heels. It was only natural to buy a red pair of TOMS to sport during the reception. And, let me tell you. TOMS are pretty much the comfiest shoes I have ever own. And, I love every single pair in my closet. Especially this red pair.

This morning’s Tuesday Shoesday features a pair of my absolute favorite shoes. Which, happen to be my very own wedding shoes, captured by the always talented, Lisa Hessel. I bought these shoes before I bought my dress, and had them in my closet for a good year before my wedding day.

My shoes, of course. I have two pair. One you’ve seen. The other is a surprise. But, I cannot wait to wear either pair on Saturday.
