Quotes, Readings, and Vows: "Fairest"
“She makes me laugh and cry.
I reflect her glow and believe that I am glowing too.
To please her for a minute pleases me a week.
She has thunder and lightning, rage and joy.
She breathes in the high notes and exhales the low.
She wakes me up and makes me sing.”
from Fairest by Gail Carson Levine

Currently Loving: Painted Mason Jars
Mason jars are EVERYWHERE in weddings these days, but recently I’ve seen several instances of painted mason jars and I have to say I really like it. It’s especially handy when colored jars are so hard to find (like the coveted aqua colored ones). These are all painted with opaque paint, but I’m sure you could tint clear mason jars any color with sheer paint (this stuff sounds...

Quotes, Readings, and Vows: "A Gift from the Sea"
When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. That is impossible. It is even a disservice to pretend it is possible. Yet that is what most of us demand. We have such little faith in the ebb and flow of life and of love and of relationships.
We leap forward at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb, for we are afraid it will...

Currently Loving: White Bridesmaid Dresses
I admit to being somewhat of a traditionalist…somewhat. I wear classic, preppy clothes. I love the traditions that are in various aspects of my life such as my sorority and (much older) my religious faith. I think the man should be the one to propose. I want to decorate my whole life from Pottery Barn and Ralph Lauren. And the list goes on.
However, I love the all white bridal parties I...

Royal Wedding Sleepover from Brides.com →
This is so so so cute! Brides.com has an entire kit for a royal wedding sleepover. My favorite part is the excuse for work note. Maybe that will work for my professors… (Why does the wedding have to be so early in the morning London time? Don’t they know that the Americans want to watch too!?).
lifeoffsororityrow-deactivated2 asked: Ooo, I completely forgot about Old Navy! I knew I could count on all of you to help me out! Btw, your header is soooo cute! Very clever (:

Mini-Balloon Save The Date
I try not to reblog pictures too, too often, but this is way too good to pass up.
How cute is this! Since they would have to be hand delivered you would need 5” Helium balloons because they hold the air longer. Aren’t they creative & cute!

Quotes, Readings, and Vows: Captain Corelli's...
Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is...
