Ashely & Owen - Kali Kate, Buda Texas

For those of you who have never been to Kali Kate, you really need to go check it out. It has so many little details built into the place, its takes a while to notice them all. Ashley and Owen were married there a few months ago, and I'm still working on getting more weddings posted. (excuses, excuses, I know - but I am trying!!)

They have such a cute love story and have known each other for most their lives. I helped them put together a slide show for their rehearsal dinner and got to see all their adorable pictures growing up. It was so awesome seeing all their friends and family just supporting them completely.

Here are their lovely pictures from their wedding day courtesy of Tyler Schmitt Photography. As usual, they did not disappoint.








The gorgeous flowers were done by the ever so wonderful:


Petal Pushers - we love us some Stacey!

Great Christmas Card Deal

Just wanted to share this fantastic deal I found online last night. If you order 20 of the 4x8 photo cards from snapfish and enter the code CARD08 at checkout, the cards are only 1 penny each, a total of 20 cents plus a few dollars for shipping and handling.

While these cards aren't as cute as some of my other favorites, this is a great deal. I think the code expires on 11/23, so get them while you can!

Here are a few of my favorite designs -

The Preppy Empire Expands

First, I want to thank so many of you for your concern these last few weeks. I have been a bad blogger lately and it shows. No posts, no fun quips from yours truly, no preppy wedding finds, not even a peep about politics.

Well, I am hoping all you readers out there in blogland will blame this on my inability to do anything other than spontaneously gag, sleep and cry these last few months.

And if you really need someONE to blame....

Try the little preppy baby that Mr. Preppy Wedding and I will be having in May. That's right - we're pregnant.

It's been three months, but I am still trying to wrap my head around the whole having a baby thing. I'm so excited, but I am also nervous and am just glad that as I enter my second trimester, the whole day sickness phenomenon is starting to wane.

So, here's the deal. I am still going to post on this site. I'm going to tailor my posts specifically to wedding related stuff. And if you want to hear more about all things preppy baby, check out my new site.

It feels good to finally fess up to you guys about my absence. Don't give up on me though, I've still got lots of preppy inspiration to share.

Beautiful Wedding Invitations

Milling around the offices of Wiregrass Weddings I stumbled upon this ever so lovely wedding invitation.  Designed by WW program associate Lyndsay Elliott, this invitation is one for the scrapbook.  

Lately I've been wrapped up in all things wedding programs, but this invitation turned my gaze. I'm thinking about hosting a wedding just so I can have some of these printed!

apologies!

apologies for being away so long... wedding plans have been away from my mind as my father was diagnosed in August with a malignant brain tumour (glioblastoma multiforme)... :(

I've been busy flying between the US and Australia non-stop, and living in a constant state of jet-lag and tears.

However, I will try and update regularly again, now that things are a bit more calm...

Thoughtful Hostess Gifts

A friend of a friend is getting married soon.  A shower was held and there were many, many hostesses.  Thank you gifts for the tribe of women throwing the party were needed.  In place of the typical picture frame, candle, or crystal dish, the bride baked miniature pound cakes. Attached was a printed recipe straight from her future grandmother-in-law's kitchen.  Very nice. 

Now I love a good picture frame and candles can be nice, but why not save a little money and create something more handmade and personal?  My hostess friend thought it was a lovely idea. A yummy treat and nothing new to dust.  I consider that a success.
