Bride Blogger Kayley!

>> Thursday, February 18, 2010

I am at a total standstill!  I’ve been searching high and low on the internet for the perfect pair of yellow stiletto heels and an adorable, slightly whimsical birdcage veil but without much success.

A traditional veil is not my taste.  Truth be told, it reminds me of wearing a sheet on my head.  If I am paying someone to make my unruly curls look fantastic, there is no way I am going to hide my hair behind a veil.  Therefore, I love the idea of a birdcage veil.  It’s somewhat of a retro look but so glamorous at the same time.  Having been a fan of etsy.com for a couple years now, I’m drawn to these looks I came across on the website.  So cute!


When it comes to my shoes, I’m picky!  As I should be!  The last episode of Season 4 from Sex and the City has a scene where Carrie walks past a shoe displayed in a window and swoons, “Hello, lover.”  That’s what I’m looking for, my “hello, lover” moment.  It has yet to be found.  Only 93 more days to go!

I started out with one concept in mind, and ended up with something different - a sort of vintage French countryside/garden theme, with pale pink and gold hues. Hope you like it!

Bailey the Bride Blogger is back!

>> Monday, February 15, 2010

Wow, that was a lot of alliteration...but we're excited to have Bailey back from her crazy holiday travels!

Back to planning I go! After truly enjoying my holiday season with many travels through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, I returned to the face wedding plans! When looking at the calendar and realizing I only had 4 months to go, I began to worry that I maybe shouldn't have enjoyed my holidays as much as I did. Well maybe not that, but I should have done some planning! So today I sit here and look at my countdown of 109 days till the wedding and couldn't be more excited, yet frantic!

It's all in the details. I have everything booked but now it's those second and third appointments that I need to get to, to go over the details! Since I am planning my wedding from Colorado, it doesn't exactly make it easy to get to those appointments either. But setting dates to get back definitely relieves me of some stress!
So for now I am doing dress alterations and looking for the perfect shoes, veil, and jewelry! Since I can't do anything "traditional" I have found that http://www.etsy.com/ is one of my new favorite websites! I found so many vintage/handmade goods-both gifts for my wedding party and fun stuff for me!

I guess I did get one thing done over the holidays...we were able to head out to Seattle, the home of Brighten Photography! (Check them out at http://www.brightenphotography.com/, they just launched a totally awesome new website!) We went out there to have our engagement pictures taken, and if I do say so myself, they turned out AMAZING! Thank you Ben and Whitney! Heres a peek!

It's time for the 3rd Annual Love on the Run!

>> Saturday, February 13, 2010

If you didn't stop in yesterday, make sure you head over to Porridge Papers (1422 South Street in Lincoln) today between the hours of 11 and 5. Love on the Run is a FREE event! Porridge Papers has a collection of antique typewriters ready and waiting for you to come in and type out a note for someone special. After you have your thoughts in print, roll up your note, place it in a tiny bottle, and leave it with Porridge Papers (along with an address and phone number) so that they can deliver it for you on Valentine’s Day. An added bonus? There will be treats, coffee, and live music!

What really makes this year special is the great collaboration Porridge Papers has done with some other local businesses. Gorgeous posters have been designed by Ella of The Lichen and silk screened by Screen Ink and hung around town. Cookies will be provided by Kristin of The Cup,  Cafe Indigo will be donating Cultiva coffee, and a cheese plate will be donated by Hillis and Company.
