It’s been a couple of weeks since my absolutely wonderful NYC shower (thanks the NYC bridesmaids who put together an incredible party!). We had brunch, games, gifts, and cupcakes in mix-and-match teacups (and everyone got to take their teacup home as party favor with a delicious Citrus Mint tea pyramid by Tea Forte (mmm…)) [...]

A wedding gift arrived today: the Williams-Sonoma Popover Pan!
For any reader who’s ever had popovers, you know that these eggy baked concoctions are pure heaven on earth. I did a little jig when I saw what was inside the box (which I’ll get to later), and immediately whipped up some popover batter.
THIS PAN IS AMAZING.
I’d [...]

Jenna Bush is getting married very soon, on May 10th to be precise. The New York Times published an interesting article discussing Jenna’s decision to have a “small” 200 guest wedding at her family’s ranch in TX over a sumptuous White House affair. See article here:

I arrived home today from class and there was a big cardboard box on our front porch! When I opened it, I realized it was the FREE 8″ nonstick frying pan from Calphalon that I got for simply registering for $600 of Calphalon products on our Williams-Sonoma registry! It’s gorgeous! Perfect for frying [...]

Without a doubt, the ranunculus is my favorite flower for bouquets and wedding floral arrangements.
Sadly, it’s a spring flower, so much easier to find in a variety of colors right now than in August, when I’m to be married!
This month’s In Style Weddings has a feature on spring flowers (”Spring Into Action” on p. 274) [...]

Has anyone else caught this absolutely delightful movie? It’s out in theaters now, starring Frances McDormand and Amy Adams. The film is set on the eve of WWII in London, and has the best costumes!
I’m not sure how far you’d want to go, but it would be great to get some late 1930s-early 1940s [...]

No, I’m not talking money.
I mean attendant gifts, and I’m suggesting giving any one of these great potted indoor plants as a nice change from the pearl earring or pashmina route-more-traveled.

I’ve been considering wearing some sort of cameo jewelry with my wedding dress. Granted, cameos have something of an air of a grandma about them, but they also have an elegance that I think could be quite nice for a wedding so long as you didn’t overdo it on the rest of the jewelry.
Wedgwood blue [...]

We don’t chat much about ceremony details on blogs, but I wanted to post the lyrics to what is my favorite ceremony hymn for a wedding.
Especially since our wedding is going to be in a church, but sort of multi-religious, I really like the message of this hymn. I suggested it for a friend’s [...]
