I love how this book turned out. I finished it last night and immediately googled to find out where I can buy more of these little mini binders. I am going to make similar albums for the wedding and honeymoon. And then someday I'll have little kids and they'll get little books too. When I…

On Friday, our engagement images arrived on a CD. Ninety-three high-res images. I think my little computer wanted to explode. I work with a very little camera and very little resolution. Now that I have seen the difference (and improvement) I am not sure how to go back. For the past couple weeks, I have…

Hi Cloud Nine, it's Elise. I'm just going to hang out here for awhile. Photography by Lisa Welge.

I have this theory that the better the invitation, the better the party. The invite sets the tone. A good, well thought out, appealing paper invitation is a BIG DEAL. Which is why I nearly called the Paper Source buyers and kissed them over the phone yesterday when orange and gray Snow & Graham paper…

Decisions, decisions. Don't worry, I sell paper to brides. I realize that most guests throw out the invites. But paper is my thing. So I want to get it right. I have until September to get Save the Dates made and the tone set. Right now it's a toss up between the whimsy of hand-drawn…

We are getting married in less than eleven months. I accidentally DVRed and watched Here Come the Newlyweds. It's a total joke of a show, but regardless, it made me even more excited. I can't wait to be with Paul forever. I know the marriage part will be more fun than the planning part. And…
