Just a quick little post to give you brides-to-be a great idea for a Save The Date!
My girlfriend Genevieve told me that her Save The Dates were “different”, but I wasn’t at all expecting what came in the mail! She and her fiance had their Save The Date info printed on ……. yellow Post-It Notes! How absolutely cute is that?! I think it’s a great idea and veers away from “the norm”!
She’s back!
Autumn_Bride is home from her fabulous honeymoon and we’ve gone over some pictures from the day … now I would love to share them with you!
Considering she was married in mid-October, the weather completely blessed her that day. Not too hot, not too cold and blue skies. Here are some of my favourite shots …
I just want to congratulate Autumn Bride. Hurray! You’re a Mrs!
May your forever together be happy and healthy! So it’s done? no more planning? no more stressing or dreaming about it, the big day happened! Woot! Congratulations to you and your new hubby.
As for my own stuff, well… it seems appropriate to just leave this post as a celebration of this honeymoon week for Autumn Bride. This is her time
My fiance and I are taking a bit of a break from wedding planning, after having made the tough decision to move the wedding date back (again!) to accomodate friends who are deploying overseas after MM gets back.
So I’m now a May 2010 bride.
I’m still going to be here though, no worries. I still love all things wedding and I’ll be back in full force quite soon.
Hip Hip Hooray for brides, new and old, newly married and those like me dreaming and scheming about The Big Day in a somewhat distant future.
Autumn_Bride is getting married tomorrow!!!!! After a year of planning, Kelly & Chris are about to say their I-Do’s …
Everyone at Moments That Shine wishes you both the most beautiful of days filled with memories that will make you smile until your faces hurt 
We can’t wait to be there tomorrow!!!
Wow…. I guess anything is possible during a stressful time
Yesterday, I officially became a bridezilla. I had to pull her out to get results, as I was being challenged by a vendor (well, 3 vendors to be exact) against what our contract/agreement was. I was a little embarrassed at first because I have prided myself on being a fairly easy-going, relaxed bride, but when people start nickel and diming me, or not following through with their agreement, quiet little Autumn Bride morphs into a red-eyed, fist pumping, adrenaline-induced ‘zilla.
I was thinking today about what I should post about next and realized that one of the sad things about me starting this blog so late into my planning (let’s be honest, I started posting about a month before my wedding day!) is that you haven’t been able to read about my planning, my decisions and my purchases for the wedding, so I thought I would take the time to tell you about my wedding shoes.
*sigh*
Oh how I love my shoes…
Like most brides, once I found “the dress”, I began to hunt for all the little bits that go along with it. This being the veil, the headpiece/tiara, jewellery and of course, the most important accessory of them all – the shoes.
Now people, these aren’t just shoes. They are THE shoes. The shoes that you will wear as you take the first step into your new life as a wife. The shoes that you will be dancing in (hopefully, if you haven’t changed into flip flops!) with your husband for the first time. The shoes that all your friends and family will ooooh and aaaaah over as the ‘gem’ that made your outfit “perfect”.
So yeah, this is pretty huge.
I think there’s a huge misconception out there about what is defined as a bridezilla.
Most brides are afraid of being called a bridezilla, and the majority of people involved in a wedding are afraid that the bride will become one! As defined by www.dictionary.com, a bridezilla is “a bride-to-be who focuses so much on the event that she becomes difficult and obnoxious.” Now let’s break this down even further 
Every bride out there will lose it at some point. Trust me on this. (At this point in time, I could probably be the poster child for this phenomenon.) But does make me, or any other bride for that matter, a bridezilla? I’d like to think not. Stress does funny things to you, but it doesn’t necessarily turn you into a monster. But a lot of people out there immediately categorize a stressed out or crying bride as a bridezilla. In fact, I believe a lot of people relish the idea of this and sit back, rubbing their hands together in glee, so they can gossip about the latest “incident” with the bride.
Last night was my first official night of minimal sleep, due to thinking about my upcoming wedding. Today marks 22 days from the “Big Day”! I kept tossing and turning, waking up, and having a difficult time falling back to sleep. When I was sleeping, I was dreaming about the wedding, but don’t ask me what I dreamt about, because I honestly cannot remember.
Every bride out there dreams about her wedding. Hmmm, let me rephrase that. Every bride out there dreams about what can go wrong with her wedding. Yes, that’s more accurate. And every bride out there can confirm that we call these dreams “Weddingmares”! I thought today I would share some of mine with you
Yesterday was my 30th birthday, and I have to admit, it was probably my best yet! It was a smaller celebration than usual, but much more meaningful. If you’re keen on your astrology knowledge, you’d realize that I’m a Virgo, which brings me to the topic of today’s post.
I’m a Virgo, through and through. Just to give you an idea, let’s analyze the traits of a Virgo.
The Pro’s
Modest and shy
Meticulous and reliable
Practical and diligent
Intelligent and analytical
The Con’s
Fussy and a worrier
Overcritical and harsh
Perfectionist and conservative
