  • On the other side.....

    Thu Jan 24 03:22:00 GMT 2008 I Do Weddings

    I love throwing parties--being a host, setting a mood....It's especially great because it helps me remember what it's like to be on the "other side"--to feel a bit of stress to pull off my own event, versus helping others plan their own perfect day. While my husband's 30th birthday wasn't a wedding celebration, it was a catered event for 50 friends and family in our home. We served Asian food and even gave out chopsticks to guests as a party favor! The party was a little while back, but I received photos from my dear friend Max last night. A special shot out to Mick, the Elite British DJ, for...

  • The Other Dresses

    Sat Jun 13 13:00:45 PDT 2009 Elizabeth Anne Designs

    This post is not about the dress, or the bridesmaids dresses It s about my attire for the other wedding festivities. While Nick and the guys are in the Outer Banks this weekend getting into bachelor party trouble (!!), I ll be shopping with my mother and sister. The bridal shower location and itinerary is a surprise, but my sister said something like one of these would be appropriate: {credit J.Crew} {credit Nordstrom} I already have a cute, flirty dress for the bachelorette party, but I did find new earrings to match. And for the rehearsal dinner, I d like to get something in a shade of b...

  • See you on the other side

    Thu Jun 11 09:00:45 PDT 2009 Elizabeth Anne Designs

    I can hardly believe it.  A year after getting engaged, our wedding weekend is finally upon us. In about 30 minutes {literally, I am cutting it that fine} we will get in the car to travel to Devon to where we are getting married. {All images from Author s personal collection} This week we have made elderflower cordial, picked and dried rose petals for confetti, made the bird cake toppers, labels for the napkins and packed for the honeymoon. And I have now run out of time. So I am keeping this short and sweet: see you on the other side. © Elizabeth Anne Designs: The Wedding Blog, 2009 | Per...

  • Rings and other things

    Sun Jul 12 13:56:54 PDT 2009 It's Your Beautiful Day Blog

    When my parents got married everyone s ring was basically the same: a solid band- gold or silver (before the advent of platinum). These days couples are looking for an expression of their style and love. Rings are a declaration of marriage and also a show of personality. I recently came across a lovely wedding photographer Jules Bianchi whose work is just beautiful. One of the most interesting categories on her site, that I had not seen before, is the rings and other things . Just one look at these photos and you ll not only want to dive into her site but take a look at how you can make your ...

  • Pictures for the OTHER wedding album

    Fri Nov 30 09:45:00 PST 2007 AisleDash

    Filed under: Do-It-Yourself, Keeping the Memory, ReceptionsWhen my brother and his wife got married, they had a wonderful professional photographer who took incredible photos of the wedding party and various family and friends. But they also had 150 other folks at the wedding who were not part of the formal photo shoot, and rather than pay the photographer to hang around all evening, they put a disposable camera on each table at the reception, with a little attached note asking guests to shoot at will and drop the used cameras in a basket near the door.And shoot they did; the pictures were ca...

    One of our favorite bloggers, Brooklyn Bride, just posted an image that was a perfect match for our purple, gothic, and glam invite. Seeing it together gives me the chills because they are so meant to be for each other. I would love to attend such a wedding! ...
