You may not know Yasmin Sewell… but you know her. She is a constantly gracing the posts of the fancy photographers and has my dream job. And as if being a style icon isn’t enough, she also seems like one of the most down to earth chill girls in the word. So of course her wedding was super dreamy and her dress was f*ing amazing.
Wedding Week: The Wedding Party & Us: So that last picture… best pose ever, right?
At last, our wedding is making it on the blog! Stay tuned for pictures, details, and even how we met!
How amazing would a winter wedding be? So cozy and romantic. Hot totties, fireplaces, cocoa, comfort food, scarves, tinsel… all with the perfect white snow backdrop. It would be a DIYer’s dream with all those discounted holiday crafts. Plus a great way to break-up the long winters that we get around here in the Midwest. Would you have a winter wedding?
In addition to our wedding, we have a couple others to attend this summer and I am almost as excited to get a dress for that as I am for my own (not really, but close). Both of the weddings are in July, indoors, and semiformal (i’m guessing). Here’s a few dresses that may fit the bill….
Hui Hui Square Dress - Beklina
I love everything about this Hui Hui dress, the print, the colors. Plus you get eat whatever you want. Bonus!
Green Cutaway Halter Dress - Top Shop
I’m a sucker for jewel tones. This simple dress would be fun to spice up with some massive bangles, a belt, and killer shoes.
Mine & Yours Strapless Dress - French Connection
Gorgeous. This is my favorite length for a dress. However, this color maybe a little to bridal for a guest to wear. (Hmmm… maybe it can be my sister’s bridesmaid gown.)
Ah wedding planning {que sigh}… everyone talks about the stress of planning a wedding. And to be honest, I thought it was all a little silly. And to a certain extent, I still do, when that planning is referring to picking out flowers and linens and what foot to lead with when walking down the aisle. To me, those things are either fun to figure out, or I don’t care too much about them.
The real stress comes when you are to incorporate your family’s vision for your wedding or your vision brings “disappointment.” There are 100s of wedding blogs now, getting inspiration for reception decor has never been easier. And if you’re not a DIYer, there’s about a million wonderful planners to help your vision come to light. But what about when you’re raised religiously and now you’re not. When the thought of a ceremony outside of a church literally brings tears to your mother and grandmother. When your brother tells you his daughters aren’t allowed to be your flower girls. You jump on a merry-go-round and play Ginuwine’s ‘Pony.‘
To me, the wedding is Bub and I stating that we are a family now, and we would love for those in attendance to be a part of our family. While giving slight peak into the weirdness of this family they may be joining… you know, don’t want there to be any false assumptions…
City Hall Wedding
Wouldn’t this outfit be cute for a summer City Hall Wedding? I love the idea of a super intimate ceremony, like these sweet couples. Sometimes I think about running off to New York (where we got engaged) and getting married, just the two of us. But then I think about how our families would feel. What would you or did you do? Proclaim your love in front of family or friends or just an intimate exchange between the two of you?
So I decided that I was going to make this awesome website that would have all the details (and there’s a lot of them) about the wedding. 5 months later… I’m still working on it. It would probably help to know the details first. I’ve pretty much got the general aesthetic down. Though I have changed the background image 10+ times. Here’s a little snippet of what it’s lookin like.
p.s. The ‘sleepin spots’ photo, yes, that is an actual spot a guest will sleep in, there are 9 of them all painted differently. Pretty awesome, huh?
