The Finishing Touches

by Misti on August 2, 2010

If I wasn’t a graphic designer, I think I’d be an event planner. I love throwing parties! So last fall, when it came time to prepare for my wedding…it was only obvious who would be behind the scenes, dreaming up the decor and designing the invites.  Of course, I needed help. And that’s where my Mom comes [...]

It’s been one month…

by Misti on January 19, 2010

…and I must say, it’s been a pretty dog-gone good one!! I knew Steve was the one I wanted to marry long before we took the plunge, but as we’ve spent the last month together I’ve realized just how perfect we are for each other. I love it! I’m still finding little things out about [...]

The Sounds of a Glenn Miller Christmas

by Misti on December 8, 2009

DIY Wedding Adventure Post #10 What better way to bring out the feeling of the 1940′s than through music, right? That’s what I thought!

DIY Wedding Adventure Post #8 Where to display them all?…that’s the question! I love the idea of displaying photographs of Steve and I when we were younger at our reception but I wanted to find a unique way of displaying them. So I set out on a mission…I searched high and low, on the internet and through [...]

Bringing the Tropics to the Holidays

by Misti on November 7, 2009

DIY Wedding Adventure Post #7 I was ecstatic when the florist suggested a lily as the main flower in my bouquet! I’m in love with anything tropical…anyone who’s seen my living room can tell you. I call it my “Island Oasis.” Anyway, back to the flowers…My main flower will be a raspberry red lily. I’ll [...]

“Seasonal” vs. “Merry Christmas!”

by Misti on November 6, 2009

DIY Wedding Adventure Post #6 My wedding colors were super easy for me to choose. I didn’t want anything that screamed “Merry Christmas!!” Not that I have anything against Christmas, I love the holiday, but bright Red & Green aren’t my idea of elegant wedding colors. So I went with the three colors I’m always drawn [...]

Welcome to my Candyland

by Misti on October 31, 2009

DIY Wedding Adventure Post #4 When I think of Christmas treats, I immediately think…Chocolates! So why not have them at my wedding, right? I debated back and forth whether to go with savory or, my first impulse, sugary sweet refreshments. Needless to say, I went with my impulse. These little chocolatey delicacies will have a front & center place [...]

DIY Wedding Adventure Post #3 The thing I love the most about a Wedding Registry is, depending on which stores you choose, they’ll give you a discount on everything left on your list, even up to a year after your wedding date. It’s like I get to create my own Sale…can I just say, I’m [...]
