Apologies for the long absence, but the last six weeks before the wedding were pretty crazy!
Our wedding was fantastic and amazing and I don’t really know how to describe it other than to say I couldn’t stop smiling. I didn’t cry, amazingly enough, but going through the pictures that people have been sending makes me tear up and sniffle.
I will continue to post updates, reflections, and maybe some advice on this blog for at least the next year or so, so please stay tuned!

Also, is it just me or does that pose make it look like her hand is growing out of her shoulder?
And who thought “Stick and Stones” would be a good name for a line of bridesmaid dresses?
We recently added a flower girl and ring bearer to our bridal party after I belatedly realized that one of my friends has kids who are exactly the right age. I was super excited about this until my friend asked me, “What about the dress?”
Oh right! Flower girl dress…
Did you know that flower girl dresses often run upwards of $100? And even $150? I sure didn’t! It seemed sort of insane to buy a tiny little dress that cost as much as my Maid of Honor’s dress (and unlike the flower girl, my Maid of Honor will not be outgrowing her dress in a year).
Our flower girl had a dress from a previous flower girl experience, but the colors weren’t quite right. I was debating between trying to alter the dress or trying to squash my obsessive matchy-matchiness*, when I saw this dress.
It’s a lot less than $100 and it’s also perfect.
It’s ivory with an embroidered taffeta overlay, just like my dress, while the color and the ruched sash echo our wedding colors and my Maid of Honor’s dress nicely without being too clone-y or disturbingly child bride-y.
In fact, the sash on that dress is exactly the color of the ribbon I used on our invitations. What are the odds of that?
