meaning of the word 'bungalow'

What do you think of when you hear the word 'bungalow?'

My vision is something along these lines....

I'd like to spend a weekend or a honeymoon in one of these! SOON!

P.S. Our potential honeymoon destination, St. Lucia, was just hit by hurricane Tomas. Sweet, sweet Lord. Sending prayers to the Caribbean!!!

cute DIY gift wrapping

Does anybody else love burlap as much as I do? I'm just a big fan of natural fabrics. What's your favorite go-to wrapping material?.....and I mean BESIDES wrapping paper! Anything creative?

X-mas list for 2010

This is what I want for Christmas. A glass table & mirror for my bedroom where I can store all my makeup and jewelry. AND...actually sit & put on my makeup. To be honest, I would ALSO like one of these for X-mas...

but I don't know if THAT'S gonna happen ;)


Have you concocted your X-mas list already?

awesome pic

Umm...soo...there's nothing I don't love about this pic ;)

And....I love these bouquets like the proverbial fat kid loves cake...hee hee

I bought my wedding dress!

It's from Paloma Blanca! Check out their website & have fun guessing which one I got : )

I purchased the dress from The Ultimate Bride on Brentwood in St. Louis just south of the Galleria. Megan is the manager, and she helped me get through a TERRIBLE SITUATION. A situation involving Paloma Blanca raising the price of my dress by $1000 THE DAY BEFORE I WAS SCHEDULED TO BUY! It was insane...so thanks, Megan, for helping me out of that one!

fall flowers & sir snoops a lot

 If your wedding dress is white WHY NOT go vibrant with your bouquet?

 Why spend money on vases? Vintage canisters, jars, anything recyclable will work. Rinse it out & go to town!

  I love that somebody made a boutonniere flower out of sheet music! 

 It's not 1995. Who needs those elaborate & over-the-top centerpieces anymore? Half the time they are so big you can't even see or talk to the person sitting across from you! Tone it down with unique flowers in vibrant colors in an interesting arrangement with a cute/non-traditional vase.

 A boutonniere out of raspberries? LOVE.

Don't you love snooping on other people's weddings? There's so much inspiration out there.

  Two of my favorite ways to snoop are via Style Me Pretty & Green Wedding Shoes. These sites make wedding snooping easy! Enjoy : )
