Dessert Pedestals from burlap+blue (with a special Plunge Project discount code!)

by Nicole on 03.15.2011

Every once in a while I came across something that makes me think, “damn, I wish I saw this before my wedding!” And that’s how I felt when Linda of burlap+blue reached out to me about her gorgeous dessert pedestals. Of course, you’ll remember that for my wedding, I made my own cake stands. But [...]

Meet My Florist: Samuel Franklin

by Nicole on 03.07.2011

The “Meet My Vendors” series is my attempt to help other East Tennessee brides choose wedding vendors. This series presents my dead honest reviews of the people who made my big day possible. Oddly enough, of all the vendors I needed for my wedding day, I met with more florists than any other vendor. Honestly, [...]

See My Venue: L&N Train Station

by Nicole on 02.15.2011

The “Meet My Vendors” series is my attempt to help other East Tennessee brides choose wedding vendors. This series presents my dead honest reviews of the people who made my big day possible. Okay, okay…so you can’t really “meet” a venue, but I guess I should have thought of that before I named this series [...]

GIVEAWAY: Vintage Garter from JLWeddings

by Nicole on 10.25.2010

I love Etsy. Seriously. I don’t know what my wedding would be without that amazing resource. It’s been a wonderful place to find vintage and handmade items for my big day — many at a much better price than I found at bridal stores. Plus, I’m all for supporting local artists and finding unique items [...]

4 Unique Guest Book Alternatives

by Nicole on 08.17.2010

I’ve been to quite a few weddings, and one thing that every one has is a guest book. So of course, that’s something Michael and I are planning to pick up for our own wedding. However, something about the traditional, plain guest book bores me. And from what I’ve heard from other brides, they often [...]

Alternatives to the Traditional Veil

by Nicole on 08.04.2010

I’ve been putting a lot of thought lately into what my hair is going to look like on my big day, and what veil or hairpiece is going to compliment that. While part of me wants the traditional long veil, another huge part of me is actually thinking to go in an alternate direction. If [...]

GIVEAWAY: Paperless Stationary for the Savvy Bride

by Nicole on 07.13.2010

It’s no secret that wedding invitations are pretty expensive, and to me, they almost seem like a hidden cost. Between printing and postage, it’s easy to spend $1,000 or more on save the dates, invitations, RSVP cards, thank you cards and more. Postage alone has already cost me about $200! But what if you could [...]
