How nice of me to show up after nearly 3 months!Starting now, I’ll be posting more regularly (I’ve come up with a brilliant plan to maximize my time). I’m actually going to start from way back in August and go over our search (and selection of) a venue, baker, and a whole bunch of other vendors. We got a lot done in the first two months, then kind of cooled it for a bit because a lot of what was

I got totally excited last night when I saw this post on Darcy Miller's blog for Martha Stewart Weddings, The Bride's Guide:Pretty much all of those things describe me (and the f), so of course I had to leave a long comment.It seems to me like they're going to make one lucky bride the recipient of an awesome wedding cake - maybe by Wendy Kromer, Martha's co-author of the wonderful wedding cakes

I've been engaged for almost 2 months now, so it's about time that I go to one of those bridal expo thingies, right? I've read about a number of these and I've usually rolled my eyes at them...seems like a bunch of annoying brides who are there to one-up one another while sizing up everyone else's engagement ring.Funnily enough, I'm going to TWO of them next week. Fear not, I have not gone

I knew I was in trouble the first time I picked up a CB2 catalog. CB2 is similar to their parent company, Crate and Barrel, in that their products are also modern and minimal, but CB2's wares differ from C&B's in that they are more whimsical and easier on the wallet. Affordable + adorable + awesome = love at first sight.I've been eyeing these for a long time and I think I just might have to buy

I’ll admit that I’ve been reading wedding blogs for the past 9 months. I figured that I may as well get lots of ideas and do lots of research while I had the time in Baltimore because I knew that when (who am I kidding, IF) I moved back to NYC, I probably wouldn’t have the time.I was right.I started my new job in July and there is no way in the world I can look at wedding blogs or other sites at

Yes, I'm starting a wedding blog despite the fact that I've slacked off on updating my food blog and I've all but shut down my regular personal blog. Reasons for this include, but are not limited to: my minor obsession with blogs, and, of late, wedding blogs; the incredible ease with which my friends and family can be filled in on my latest wedding planning hijinks; wanting to chronicle what is
