Perfect accessories.
Maybe seeing beautiful girls in "my" wedding dress should make me feel a little less unique, but it actually makes me really excited to wear it.
Next step - accessories! I think this beautiful lady did an amazing job of accessorizing "my" dress. I'd love to find a beautiful, simple, not too bling-y cuff to wear with it - any suggestions?

homemade garland.
The more I think read about weddings, the more I find myself drawn to those that look handmade, simple, personal and unique.
I'd love to make something like this garland for behind our "head table" or above the dancefloor. Simple, colourful, handmade, perfect. Thanks to Purl Bee.
The how-to is all here.
Aw shucks.
I wanted to thank some fellow bloggers - the Alternative Bride and Sand Dollars & Sunflowers for nominating me for an award! My first one!
So, I'm supposed to tell you 10 things about myself and nominate 10 other bloggers.
10 things you didn't know about me (or maybe you did):
1) I'm a Red Wings fan. Steve Yzerman = my hero
2) I love music (so send me any of your suggestions!). Right now I can't stop listening to the Avett Brothers and Mistress Barbara.
3) I'm a bit of a TV junkie. I've tried the "I'm going to live without cable thing" and did it. But it's not as fun. (ps. If you're not watching friday night lights, you MUST. and weeds. and mad men. and true blood. I could go on...)
4) I've been with B#2 for almost 8 years. eek!
5) I played the piano for year, the clarinet for a bit and tried the cello too. Spending a decade in university has put some of my musical aspirations on hold, but I'm going to buy myself a cello for graduation.
6) I'm not athletic at all but I try (sometimes). B#2 is crazy about skiing and I'm actually starting to - dare I say it - look forward to ski season this year (maybe because it makes him so happy).
7) I've always wanted a tattoo but haven't committed yet.
8) I'm going to keep my last name after we get married.
9) I have so many plans for hobbies after I graduate next fall. Is it possible to become a master sewer, baker, chef, cellist and photographer? Perhaps not.
10) I have a new blogging project I'm helping with that will be up and running soon...I'll let you know as soon as I can!
I think many of my favourite blogs have already been nominated for these awards, but I'll link to them anyways (even just so they know I'm reading!).
