Something For The Little One to Carry

How awesome would it be to have the cutest little soon-to-be-godson ever carry this little number down the aisle?

Cost? According to Once Wed, about $7.70.

Another addition to the DIY list? I think so.

No one will pay any attention to it, because Mr. Man's godson is so cute, but if you're going to procrastinate, why not make good things come out of it?

My New Wedding Toy and Other Joys

It's not Christmas yet, but I've gotten many presents!

First and foremost, the United States of America has an awe-inspiring new President! It didn't really hit me until I saw one of those posters with all the presidents on it that was in the front of your elementary school classroom. After number forty-four, that poster will look just a little different. I'm proud to have a Black president in office, but I'm even prouder that we have someone who is capable of moving this country to action.

Second, my new wedding toy is heat embossing tool. Its this little handheld machine you can use to emboss paper or other surfaces. I've been playing with it every chance I get. Pretty placecards and marvelous menus, here I come! You can check out a heat embossing tutorial on DIYBride.

Somthing Old. Something New. Something Scary and Blue?

I am not really big on Halloween, but I did find something both scary and wedding related.

Malibu Betty is "color for the hair down there".

It might be fun as a bridal shower gag gift, but what do you say when his grandmother asks you about your "something blue"?

Why not make it pretty?

I know they say you won't ever touch your purse on the big day, but I've got to have somewhere to put my essentials.

Why not make it pretty?

This bag from dorchi's Esty shop is gorgeous. How cute would it look in raspberry satin with a subtle gold lining?

I Couldn't Help But Share

I've been pouring over all things wedding, and on the rare occasion it happens, it makes me smile to see a Black love on the big day. Kate Headley photographed Sonya and Janssen's gorgeous wedding and Elizabeth Ann Designs and The Bride's Cafe both posted about it. The photo on my blog is just a sneak peek. (Check out those orange shoes!)

Guess who....

....has a wedding website!!! Whoo-hoo!

I am not sure why, but it feels all extra-official.

We shall release the address when it's all up and running.

Be on the look out.
