Keeping The Inner Bridezilla Under Wraps

Friday, July 24th, 2009 at 10:49am

I work very hard to not become a Bridezilla… but I do have my moments. There has been times through the planning process (and through our year and a half engagement) where I have fully unleashed my inner Bridezilla and later realized that I was being a little unreasonable… okay maybe a lot unreasonable.

The Wind Beneath My Veil Part One: The Inspiration

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009 at 10:57pm

When I first started looking for wedding veils I wanted a birdcage veil. I felt it was chic, modern and sooo me. When I went dress shopping my parents really leaned towards a more traditional veil.

Plus, purchasing bridesmaid dresses from a huge bridal warehouse didn’t really jive with me (and I thought their dress were low quality for the price). Yes, I was crazy.

A Tasteful Gator Wedding of the Week

Friday, July 17th, 2009 at 1:36pm

This is a cute (and very GATOR) bride and groom I came across while visiting OnceWed. While I’m unsure if this couple knew that they were ‘representin’ for the Gators on their Wedding day, I do know that they certainly have a fabulous color combination. They prove that you can certainly incorporate that swanky orange and blue on your wedding day.
