I’m not a jewelry person by nature. I still have the cheap $5 earrings from junior high in my jewelry box and remembering the four c’s is like trying to rattle off the names of Snow White’s seven dwarves under pressure. So I’ve been holding off on getting my engagement ring restored. Every year about [...]

I ran across Sarah Mensinga’s artwork back when I was researching a frog prince wedding theme. Her drawing style and use of color are amazing. So in honor of Christmas, I’d like to announce Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus.

It was pretty obvious after the last wedding I did that my little 4.1 megapixel Sony wasn’t going to cut it anymore. The pictures I had taken of the photographer taking pictures of the wedding party (something I try to do for the person who never gets photographed) came out fuzzy and all of my [...]

I can tell it’s the holidays because this is my third post about sweets in a week. The good news is this is a sweet you can enjoy over and over again. Etsy seller, gorgeousredhead at Pretty Girl Things, makes miniature polymer clay cake ornaments. How cool is that? Here are a few examples of what she has [...]

After reading a Weddingbee post about what happened to a couple’s wedding cake, I was inspired to put together some cake advice.

Calculate your cake to guest ratio

Many places will do this for you, but if you’re ordering sheet cake, making your own, having family or friends provide it, you’ll want to make sure you aren’t returning home with 20lbs of [...]

It’s tradition in our family to buy one another ornaments for Christmas, and I thought it would be fun this year to get something that reflects our occupations. Then I realized that I had no idea what kind of ornament would work for an event coordinator. 2007 was mostly about weddings for me, so I started there. [...]

You’ll probably notice that even though I don’t live in Bellingham, I spend a lot of time there. Not only do I have family in the area, but I love to explore all the cool and funky places. And one of my favorite things to do is go to their wonderful farmer’s market. It’s open from April [...]

  
I first heard about this program from Bee at Weddingbee. Daughters Cambodia, a local organization in Phnom Penh, is a day center for girls working in brothels. They provide access to life’s basics like showers and hygiene. They also help with vocational training in hopes that the girls can get out of the brothel life. [...]

  
I found these books by Dan Carlinsky in a store while we were up in Bellingham and had to get a copy of each. I intended to give them to an engaged friend (and I still do!), but as my guy and I sat in a local restaurant waiting for our food, we started flipping through the books. They’re 100 [...]

The holidays are here! That means it’s engagement and wedding show season. (The good news is that you don’t need a permit to participate.) Between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day there are going to be many newly engaged couples. I know who they are too because they’re walking on cloud nine and have the biggest smiles…I [...]
