DIY PhotoBooth with a MacBook
I stumbled across an amazing DIY idea that never crossed my mind.  If you really want a photobooth but can’t fit it into the budget AND you own a Mac, problem solved!  Set up your Macbook on a table and use the Photo Booth Application. Now all you need are some cool props! Photos by Kurstin Roe Photography via TheSweetestOccasion.com You could either have a printer alongside or...

Tattoos At A Wedding: Stunning!
Whoever thought that tattoos at a wedding would be so stunning!?   This bride totally rocks her sleeves! I’m so sad that I have no idea who this gal is because I would have loved to attend her wedding!  Sheena Paulin Photography via www.Rocknrollbride.com

OOPS! I Did It Again!
Damn You ModCloth.com!  I got an email explaining their 70% off sale and could not resist. I have had my little eyeballs fixed on a few dresses the past couple weeks and now that they are on sale, I went for it! After all, I was in the market for new dresses for our engagement shoot anyway! :) The scary part?   Sale items=no returns! *Fingers crossed they fit!* Ready to see them? Dappled...

Thank You Cards
While browsing Michael’s Craft Store today I came across these Thank You cards and decided to purchase them.  They have a modern twist on the vintage look which will match our wedding perfectly, even if they don’t match our invitation suite!   At $10 bucks a box (40 count), they are the deal of the century!

Wedding Prep: Botox
Source After a few dirty martinis with the girls the other night, I could not stop looking at my eye wrinkles! It is completely absurd for a mid-twenties gal to be contemplating Botox but sometimes good ideas aren’t always rational ones…   Botox treatments range from $400 - $800 and last up to four months.  Even though it isn’t a “cure” for wrinkles, it will help...

The Biggest Disappointment
To say that I am disappointed is a huge understatement. I am crushed.  We had high hopes of sending out our stop motion save the dates and website link yesterday in a valentine’s day e-card.  We have been working really hard on it and I thought for sure it was happening but last night we realized that there were a lot of small edits that needed to happen. A lot of small edits that ate up...

Honeyfund
Beetle & I sat down this weekend to discuss our honeymoon plans and unfortunately, we came to the conclusion that we simply can’t afford it.   My heart broke into a million little pieces because who doesn’t take a honeymoon?  We decided that WE WILL MAKE THIS HAPPEN!   For one, our social activities are on a serious lock down.  Aside from doing one big activity a month (weekend...

Where There's a Will, There's a Way
When it comes to our engagement shoot, Beetle & I have a TON of ideas. Narrowing them down to a sensible day is a struggle.

Carnival Themed Wedding
I LOVE my vintage, old Hollywood, glam wedding theme…BUT if I could do two different celebrations with Beetle, I would choose a carnival themed wedding!  It is so fitting & Glen Echo Park is a great place in the DC area to host. (SOURCE) I am a sucker for cotton candy & anything carnival related! The food would be out of this world! (SOURCE) You could have the cutest themed...

Take It Away...
Being the non-traditional wedding couple that we are, we have decided to nix the things we deem unnecessary.  We nixed the cake, nixed the programs, and nixed the out-of-town welcome bags! I know, I know! GASP! But, you know what? The budget is non-existent at this point and the money went faster than I thought so why add the stress of dealing with the three things I don’t care about. A...
