It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about my wedding – in fact, it’s been a while since my wedding – nearly 5 months, to be exact. Some time has passed, I’ve come down from the high of it all (a bit…) and now I’m ready to share with you, my lovely readers, some […]

Nicky Hilton’s Wedding Gown Killed It
Now this, ladies and gentlemen, is a wedding gown. Nicky Hilton – younger sister of Paris – married James Rothschild (yes, of those Rothschilds) over the weekend and wore the most beautiful wedding gown I’ve ever laid eyes on. The lace Valentino gown had long sleeves and seemed to take a note from Grace Kelly (Princess Grace […]
Wedding Wednesday | Rhode Island Monthly’s ‘Engaged’
It’s [very late on] Wedding Wednesday, but I just wanted to take a moment to share some news with you. A whiiiile back (sometime in April, I think) I signed on to blog for Rhode Island Monthly’s Engaged magazine – their annual wedding special issue. Basically, roughly once per week I’m blogging all things wedding […]
Lust or Bust | Ralph Russo Couture Wedding Gown
Do you want to see the prettiest wedding gown ever? I mean – this thing is stunning. The way it moves is kind of mesmerizing… and it also took 3,900 hours to make and is so costly (both in time and money) that the design house – Ralph Russo – will only make one per country. […]
Wedding Wednesday | Engagement Photos, Part 1
Our engagement photos are coming up this weekend, and all I can say is… how random. On the one hand, it feels kind of like being back in school for picture day (What will I wear? What if my hair doesn’t cooperate?!), and on the other it’s one of these wedding moments that make the […]
Wedding Wednesday | Transportation Issues
Hello there lovely readers! Welcome to another installment of Wedding Wednesday. Since I was a mess last night and didn’t bother have time to queue this one up, you’re going to be reading it a bit later than usual – sorry about that! One of the issues that I’ve struggled with a bit in this […]
Wedding Wednesday | The Veil
For my entire life I’ve had a couple of dreams for my wedding – and one of them was to have a loooooong veil. I’ve also always loved the way a blusher (the piece of the veil that falls in front of the brides face) looks. (Oh, and one of the only things my father […]
Wedding Wednesday | Sweating For The Wedding
Do you know what I am loathing most about this whole wedding planning thing? It’s the “getting in shape for the wedding” thing. In high school (and for a brief time in college) I was an athlete. Two or three hours of practice per day were the norm. Even during the off-season I was still […]
Wedding Wednesday || Floral Arrangements Galore
The strangest thing about wedding planning is probably that I’m having the most fun with floral arrangements. I’ve got no idea why, especially since floral arrangements tend to fall onto the list of “things brides wish they hadn’t spent so much money on” but man – I am loving it. I booked my florist the […]
Wedding Wednesday || The Gap
There’s a small dilemma with my wedding date/time, and until recently I hadn’t been able to figure out how to deal with it. Specifically, it’s a two hour gap. My fiance and I are both Catholic and are having a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony. The issue this presents is that the latest any Catholic church will […]
