Today was our 1st wedding anniversary! We chose to keep it lowkey and order in, since we didn't want to take a chance on dining out just yet. We did, however, stick to one special plan which was to recreate our wedding cake. We ordered it from the...

We finally tied the knot on Sunday, and it really was my dream wedding. Everything went according to schedule, the weather was great (although super hot), and the food was delicious. I was only running on 5.5 hours of sleep, but I managed to survive...

Just got my nails done for my wedding on Sunday. I've had pedicures before but have never had a manicure in my life, so I was nervous I wouldn't like the result; but I think they turned out really subtle and nice. Is anyone else new to the world of...

Hi everyone, I went for my second fitting and just wanted to share a picture. I've had my dress for 10 months, but this is my first time sharing a photo of it. The seamstress just needs to sew the neckline back onto the illusion fabric (you might...

Hi everyone. I'm struggling to come up with sentimental gifts for the ring bearer and 3 flower girls. Everyone in the wedding party is family, so we got them fairly pricey sentimental gifts. We got the 2 bridesmaids royal doulton figurines and the 2...

We just got our engagement photos, and I just wanted to share in my excitement! It was hard choosing just 5 to share. We took them at my parent's property in the country and were lucky to have such beautiful weather. Only 44 days left My Favourite...

We finally finished putting together and mailing the invitations. I'm so excited to start receiving RSVPs (hopefully sooner rather than later)! We semi-DIYed the invitations by using a kit from Michael's. They're not all perfect, but I am pretty...

Finally finished putting together the favours with my mom, sister and FH! I was really pleased with how they turned out. We managed to find bags and chocolates in our colours (burgundy, blush, ivory and gold), and stay within budget. They came out to...

Hi everyone! I am looking for a wedding aisle carpet runner similar to this one: Ivory carpet aisle runner. The link above is from an Australian company, so 1) I don't think they ship to Canada, and 2) the cost is $600 CAD (pre-shipping)!...

I'm so excited to have my veil completed, and I wanted to share some pictures! It's exactly what I envisioned, and it only cost ~$40. My mom is handy with a sewing machine and was able to make it this weekend. We picked out the tulle, trim and...
