We’re In This Together

They are up, they are up! Peony has put up the first of many pictures of her stunningly beautiful wedding. You all must go look, right away. There are so many nice things you could say about this wedding, about how it was stylish, super-budget and chic, but really, no one should talk about anything but the radiant joy on their faces. Cara said, “The small details that we spend so long thinking about really faded into nothingness on the day. ” Amen. May it be so.

As for me, I am winging my way down to Los Angeles for a very informal little engagement party in my parents delightful backyard, and then some time by the pool. Thank you for all your support this week, in comments and emails. Rebecca gave such excellent perspective on weddings and life when she said, “we all have to nurse some grief about losing our concept of how we hoped things would be and making the most of how things will have to be.”

You are a fantastic bunch. Much more to come next week.

Lime & Cherry

Do you know about Nicole’s blog Prom to Altar? Technically, it’s her personal wedding blog. Really, however, it’s her sassy awesome blog. For example:

Dear TheKnot.com,

When I received your email featuring “4 Hot New Color Combos We Love”, I was intrigued enough to open it. Not that I’m looking for any hot new color combos– it’s just that the wedding industry is always coming up with these new color schemes, and it’s fascinating to see what the trendy new combination is– many are hideous, some are nice, most just use new names for standard colors.

Now, here’s my gripe: “cherry and lime” is not a “hot new color combo” (but it is a delicious flavor sensation). Maybe you love it, but here’s the thing… cherry and lime is actually red and green, a color combo owned by Christmas for hundreds of years.

I’m just saying, let’s be honest when we use the terms ‘hot’ and ‘new’, ok?

All the best,

Nicole

Yeah. You’re going to want to go check her out now.
