Don't let wedding planning make you lose your grip on reality!
I just fell in love with this photo. It's not my Pearl Bear, but now I'm going to have to run home and snap one just like it!
Have a lovely sane weekend!

I just discovered a new blog called Moment Junkie- it's a very well-curated collection of wedding photojournalism from all over the world. I just love the photos and hope to find a photographer worthy of this site!
You'll love it!
Happy Weekend!

Spring Oreos!
Remember the Seinfeld episode where Elaine eats the $29,000 slice of King Edward VIII's wedding cake that her boss won at an auction because she has an addiction to afternoon sweets?
Well that is EXACTLY what I have. Practically every day there are sweets sent to our show and I can never pass them up. So on the off days where there's nothing in the kitchen, I turn into a sugar fiend. My latest obsession is Spring Oreos. They are far better than regular Oreos because they have yellow centers. This makes them sublime. The best fiance ever has to run out and buy them for me when we get low. It's that bad. I'm either going to appear as the first ever Oreo-addict on Intervention, or I'm going to figure out a way to incorporate them into my wedding.
have had 4 left.
I wonder if anyone else has ever determined their wedding color palette based upon a Nabisco product?
P.S. In case you were wondering, my addiction to Spring Oreos has unfortunately not made spring come any quicker here in NYC.

I love the tiered Oreo cake! But with my Spring Oreos of course. I only I wonder if anyone else has ever determined their wedding color palette based upon a Nabisco product?

Honor Roll
Today's honor roll goes to...
Now that I've begun wedding dress shopping, I guess I have tulle on the brain or something. Though I haven't tried on any Priscilla gowns yet, I just love anything that saves me time and the Priscilla website posts the prices of their gowns online! I KNOW, crazy pants. Crazy skirts rather. And this includes their other gown lines like Melissa Sweet and Vineyard AND select gowns from Vera Wang's Fall 2010 line.
So yeah, if you couldn't already tell, I'm a numbers girl. I like removing emotion and alcohol from all my monetary-exchanging decisions and knowing when a dress is affordable is a great way to not make an emotionally charged Way Too Much Wedding decision.
However, if you are a sneaky internet scrounger like me, you may have noticed that you can figure out the price of many wedding gowns that won't post their prices online (boo) by going to one of the following sites:
Preowned Wedding Dresses
OnceWed
Recyced Bride
These sites are primarily for girls looking to buy or sell second-hand gowns, but I've found them an invaluable resource for figuring out the retail price for many popular gowns. Sellers must post the retail value along with their for sale price, so voilà! Mystery solved. And, as wedding costs continue to spiral more and more out of control, you can certainly count on more of these sites popping up in the future! So now we've got that going for us...
It was through one of these sites that I was able to sever my love affair with the Vera Wang Esther dress. As if learning that it was Ivanka Trump's dress of choice wasn't enough of a hint...
With that said, I promise that not all of my Honor Roll inductees will be based on their ability to post rates online. Although it helps, don't you think?
