Tomorrow is the day.

Amanda Y. posted an article on - Jun 11, 2010, 10:00 am
I've talked about it before. Probably many times before. But, my brother and future sister-in-law are getting married.... tomorrow. I'm in like utter disbelief. It truly feels like just yesterday they got engaged. But, watching their wedding planning process has been so inspiring. I've been so lucky...

The Perfect Wedding Magazine: Real Simple Weddings 2010

Amanda Y. posted an article on - Jun 9, 2010, 10:00 am
So, Real Simple sent me this magazine over a while ago to review and, to be completely honest, it entirely slipped my mind. When it arrived in the mail, I read it and poured over its pages from cover to cover for, well, hours. But then I entirely forgot to tell you all just what I thought. You see, ...

We All Scream for Ice Cream

I present to you, the perfect, adorable, unique favor for your guests.... The ice cream towel. Pretty perfe...

Amanda Y. posted an article on - Jun 3, 2010, 2:00 pm
I have been wanting to post these for some time but hadn't gotten the chance to get some good photos of them. A long, long time ago, I donated some of my calligraphy to a contest. Lucky for me, the winner ended up being the fabulous Sebrina Schultz of Mismikado's Journey Down the Aisle. I learned ov...

Presenting: THE URBAN BRIDE

Amanda Y. posted an article on - May 3, 2010, 5:30 pm
Remember when I said I had three big announcements? Well, they've take a little longer than I had hoped, but I do indeed have all three. Here is my reason for the complete lack of posts these last two weeks.... Announcement #2? The Urban Bride. A blog about all things city-centered. City brides: w...

The Traditional in Non-Traditional

Amanda Y. posted an article on - Apr 19, 2010, 7:00 am
One of my favorite things is when brides and grooms do something totally unexpected at their wedding. Maybe it's not as extreme as a first dance to the Hokey Pokey. But even something totally traditional with a unique spin on it. A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend a beautiful wedding wher...

Milk and Cookies

Amanda Y. posted an article on - Apr 12, 2010, 7:30 am
I have to admit, the idea has been around for a while. But, the first time I heard of it I think I gasped aloud at its brilliance: milk and cookies. Maybe you plan on dancing so much you need a midnight snack. Maybe you just aren't into the cake thing (in which case, don't tell me - I'm obsessed!). ...

A Sad Goodbye, A Happy Hello

Amanda Y. posted an article on - Apr 5, 2010, 8:00 am
This is an announcement that I should have made a long time ago. But, somehow, for some reason, I just couldn't do it. Perhaps I couldn't bring myself to face the reality of it. Or I didn't want to disappoint. But, a while ago I began re-routing my calligraphy shop to this very blog. Why, you ask? W...

Big Announcement: Part I of III

Amanda Y. posted an article on - Apr 1, 2010, 9:58 am
Big announcement, you ask? Part I of III? Crazy, I know. I have three big announcements. And, assuming all goes as planned, will be making them one at a time over the next three weeks. One of them involves the mystery clues I've set along the way. But, I'm saving that one for later, my friends. Toda...

Engagement Love: A Day in the Park

Sure, it is no theme shoot. But, when Jeff Wallace sent over these gorgeous images, I knew I had to share them anyway! The yummy sunlight. The casual feel. I love how each and every photo feels like it expresses the actual personalities of the couple. Warm nature. Fun-loving spirits. And, their love...

Re-post: Wed-surance

Amanda Y. posted an article on - Mar 15, 2010, 7:00 am
Over the past few months I have realized that one question that seems to come up a lot in wedding planning is the ever dreaded topic: insurance. But, if you really think about it, it makes total sense. We have insurance for our cars. Our health. Our homes. Sometimes even our pets. So, when spending ...

Seating Like No Other

Amanda Y. posted an article on - Mar 5, 2010, 6:00 am
You know, I think seating charts have an lot of untapped potential. There. I said it. There are so many creative things you can do with your wedding and I think many brides find some escort cards and are done with it. Not that there is anything wrong with that of course (I'm guilty as charged!), but...
