Pretty as a peacock

February 27, 2009

When discussing our wedding with various women, I’ve been interested in how many times I get asked about dresses. Not just my dress (“THE dress” as some have put it) but the bridesmaids’ dresses as well. I’m asked what colour, what style, etc.

Thing is, I don’t have much of an opinion. I really just want the three ladies standing up with me to look good. I figured that I would just pick a couple of colours and let them go out and find something that looks good on them, in that same fabric and colour.


But nope, it isn’t that simple. Yet another part of wedding planning that ends up being less about planning and more about making it up as we go along.

I See Your True Colours

Two sides of me are constantly at war.

One is the eco-conscious-let’s-educate-the-world side and the other one is OH-MY-GOD-I-HAVE-TO-HAVE-THIS side.

This find falls under the latter of the two sides. Coloured masking tape. How ingenious! How frivolous! I MUST have it.

Flowing into spring

February 17, 2009

The old adage about time and flight seems apt for me lately. The month of January seemed to melt away and February is also already half over. Time is indeed flying, right into spring and right up until the time that MM leaves for overseas duty in April. Then it will probably crawl. I’ll just have to make sure that wedding planning doesn’t crawl. So time to get into it!
