Happy Halloween! I am not sure where the week went, it has been a busy one that’s for sure! Hence, only one post this week, sorry!

I love Fridays and I love (actually obsessed and a HUGE fan) of Elizabeth Anne Designs!

Created by two best friends, Rebekah Anne and Ami Elizabeth, their love for crafts, graphics, and vintage design makes this blog a daily must see! My favorite is they do pieces on “real weddings”. A bride to be will be ask to write about her planning experience and then when the big day is over, she reports back with a followup and pictures! Very inspirational! I contacted EAD about writing about my wedding and they thought it was a great idea (more to come later on that)!

Also check out their FANTASTIC EAD Library! I has anything and everything a bride would need to plan her big day! 

Cheers to you Elizabeth Anne Designs! Keep up the great work!

We’re off to D.C.

Hi everyone! ROAD TRIP! Bill and I are packing up the CR-V and heading south to the nation’s capitol! Can’t wait! We are even bringing crazy Matty along!

A few things I can’t wait to do (in this particular order):

  • See my Mom (she is flying into DC tonight)
  • See my sister and brother in law
  • Take a long walk down the cobblestone lined streets of Capitol Hill
  • Go to the Paper Source
  • Hit up Anthropologie ( I am in desperate need of a few of these)
  • Maybe visit Chipotle for a yummy burrito
  • Have fun with the fam!

I will write when I get back! No Thank God It’s Friday tomorrow!

See you next week!

Save Our Date

I am so excited to show everyone the BEAUTIFUL portrait that my good friend Lynsey painted for our Save the Date cards!

The original painting is 14 x 18. I plan on snapping a few photos of it, bringing it into my computer and designing the save the dates around that! We are also going to use the image for gift tags for our out of town gift bags! I have about 12 pieces of Lynny’s artwork, and I am honored that she offered to do this for us! It makes this whole process that more special!

Thank you so much Lynny – you mean to the world to me!

I was having a bad day a few days back and Bill surprised me with this:

(Martha’s magazines make me drool with happiness)!

And this:

(Ben and Jerry’s just makes me drool)!

Does Bill know a way to a woman’s heart? I think so!

The Fall 2008 issue of Weddings is fantastic! Each spread is so inspiring and I want to be a guest at each of the featured weddings!

The “New” Ben and Jerry’s flavor is heaven on a spoon! Try it. I demand you do so.

Happy Thursday everyone, Thank GOD it’s almost Friday! Yahooo!

Remembering the music

Quick post.

Thank goodness for my trusty iPhone! There is an awesome application on the phone titled “notes”.

I have titled two pages in my notes: Wedding Music Dinner, Wedding Music Dancing. I am never without my phone, so whenever I hear a song that I think would be good for dinner or dancing music – I type it in and voila! I don’t have to mess around with scraps of paper. All the songs we want to hear are at my fingertips – literally!

This is what Matty was last year for Halloween! Doesn’t he look happy?

Just Orange

Oh how I love the color orange! Especially this time of year in upstate New York. The air is cold and crisp, the sky bright blue with not a cloud in the sky (sigh), and the leaves are not to be believed! Fall weddings are the way to go! 

The pumpkin centerpieces are from www.myecochicwedding.com.  What a great way to utilize the pumpkin! Chivary chairs are my FAVORITE! This chivary chair photo is courtesy of the knot. It is adorned with an orange ribbon and flowers. A great detail to each chair! The painting titled “Oranges” is by Lynsey Shanahan. The print below that is from groovy inclinations on Etsy. Pieces of artwork scattered throughout the reception is a great conversation piece! The invitation suite titled “Autumn Harvest” is courtesy of Milkmaid Press. Your guests can enjoy a hot apple cider to wind down the evening. The fall boutonnieres are courtesy of Martha Stewart. Guests can take home a jar of honey (Dean and Delucia) to remember the day by. Fabrics from tonic living can be used for photo booths or table runners to tie everything together!

P.S. You’re probably wondering “Is Meredith getting married in the fall”? You would think so, but no, I am getting married in the spring. My cousin is getting married in the fall and I did not want to have our wedding right before (or after) his!

I do. I love her! About a week after Bill proposed, I set up an appointment with Mary Corcoran. She captures all the right moments and details that I think are important for the “big day”. She is personable and very easy to speak to. She listened to exactly what Bill and I want for photos.

 

 

I am can not wait to see what she comes up with after our wedding day!
