Our dear little friend Court will be attending a beachside wedding this summer and that got me to day dreaming of what I would wear to such an event. Well, here is it folks. I would keep it simple in an airy knit dress and go really snazzy on my accessories.
I received an email in my inbox last Thursday that made my mouth drop…all it said was, “What if Antropologie did weddings?” I immediately said out loud…YES! The email took me to this website: http://www.bhldn.com/.
So, what I can gather is this line will launch February 14th (awww, the day of l-o-v-e), and I cannot WAIT. I wonder what the price points will be, I wonder what the styles will be, and I wonder how accessible these dresses will be!?!?!?!
What are your immediate thoughts about Anthropologie doing weddings?
We have our first The Tipsy Wedding Project update for you!! We begin in pure Tipsy fashion with the drink that Christen chose. If you’ll recall we gave our suggestions and then asked for yours.
Christen and Ed picked a madras to serve to their guests and decided to name it after one of the ideas our commenters threw at them, the “Fall in Love”.
Madras
1 oz orange juice
1.5 oz vodka
3 oz cranberry
garnish with an orange slice!
(served on the rocks in a cocktail glass)
Here’s the backstory Christen gave us on the drink decision:
We started playing around with some of the recipes provided by you Tipsy gals, which was really fun, as you can imagine! We’d mix up ingredients and try different combos, but never really hit on a clear choice. Then I rememered how much I like the madras. So I mixed one up for me, one for Ed and he agreed it was tasty! We didn’t want something too girly-pink or too hardcore (like a martini) and this was a good medium. The color was fun, we could easily garnish with an orange slice, and it was easy enough for the bartender to make in batches and serve up. Winner!
As my 3 year wedding anniversary approaches, I have found myself day dreaming of our special day, and one in particular detail: my wedding dress!
I’m not like most people, I did not find the wedding dress shopping experience to be fun; rather, I kinda hated every minute of it…(other than the good friends, good lunch, and even better champagne.) So after a disastrous experience, I took to the interwebs in search of my dream dress. Where did I find it? Only my favorite “Go To” store of all time, JCrew!
If you are a bride-to-be, don’t be afraid to order your dress online. Most places have free shipping AND returns, and feel free to order several and have a fashion show in the privacy of your own home! I would totally have a fashion show with these beauties…
Hey Christen! So we know you’ve got a wedding coming up pretty soon and we thought we’d let you know what the readers picked for you in all genres we came up with. I think it all looks pretty snazzy if I do say so myself!
Thanks everybody for voting! Christen & Ed, Best Wishes from the Tipsy Gals!
We’ve all got a few ideas of things for Christen’s wedding that we couldn’t quite categorize, so we are just going to call them “special touches”.
1. Sarah-I got an idea off theknot.com to put a few donut holes in each take out box…VERY unique and budget-friendly!
2. AK-Fall colors! Also I love the idea of finding seeds of flowers you are using in your bouquets and allowing everyone to plant the flowers from your big day. Then every time they bloom, your guests will remember your big day!
3. Court-I LOVE this idea (and wine–have I said that 85 times before?) Cute, fall themed, usable by most, etc.
4. Der-I did cookie favors in our wedding colors with our last initial on them and they were quite the hit. The taste testing part is pretty much awesome too. You can either have them at each place setting or do a pass out situation when guests are leaving.
Today we are going to cover the ring bearer…I thought I’d share a little of what Christen was looking for, which is something unique and not a normal ring bearer pillow.
My supremely awesome 4 year old brother, Evan, is our ring bearer. He is very excited for the wedding and said he watched a cartoon where “a boy was in a wedding and I saw him carry the rings so I know what to do!” I love that kid SO MUCH. Anyway, I’ve never been a huge fan of the pillow for the rings. Maybe it’s because, while Evan is a pretty sensitive soul, he’s a rough and tumble boy who plays the drums (with his shirt off, natch) so having him carry the rings on a pillow just doesn’t seem natural. Then again, it’s not like anyone walks around with rings on pillows. Any alternate ideas? I’ve been cruising wedding sites looking for something and am coming up empty.
So here goes…these are our suggestions:
