On The News!

Channel 4 did a special today on the "running of the brides" and they taped me trying on my dress. Guess what? I made the news!

Still looking for the segment online to post, but we saw it air once we returned to work. Apparently, Beetle's friends saw the news segment because this was posted on his facebook wall...

WeddingWire & Filene's Basement Running of the Brides

The WeddingWire Team headed to Filene's Basement at 6:00 this morning for the annual madness of " the running of the brides." I had no intention of looking at the dresses because it is a circus and I imagined my dress shopping with my family sipping on champagne and being pampered. BUT...I found ONE! So not what I had in mind (actually the exact opposite) but it is PERFECT for a New Years Eve Wedding!

Here is the madness we experienced...

You Are The Best Thing

I may not know what I want for my wedding - date, location, theme - BUT I do know ONE thing. Our first dance song!

Dessert & My Sweet Tooth

If you know me, you will know that I am not a big dessert person. I am a candy addict but pies, cakes, and cupcakes don't really call my sweet tooth. This makes it difficult when you think of a wedding because you are supposed to have a a really big, expensive, delicious cake.

I was thinking it would be a great idea to have a dessert bar. Is it too childish to include this "sushi" rice krispie rolls?

What about my famous cake pops?

Maybe I will keep these for a bridal shower or something...

Being Creative On A Budget

I love out of the box ideas for weddings! I just saw on a blog where a couple tied the knot in san francisco at a nursery. Here is the blog post -

They made it work by being cReATiVe. There wasn't a kitchen so they hired a gourmet pizza truck to serve pizza and salad. They had a dessert bar of cake pops and small cakes. They used the cash register area as a bar. wow. Not to mention they ended their wedding weekend with a game of kickball the next day - FUN!

Here is another fun wedding! A small, intimate wedding in San Fran. The guests sit on blankets with their own picnic baskets. ADORABLE! ...and check out those fun Bridesmaid dresses.

I LOVE LOVE the idea of these fun boutonnieres - I wonder if Beetle would let us have these?
