Wear Your Heart On Your Heels

Hey, do we still do "Tuesday Shoesday" around here?! I'll just assume the answer is YES.

This is less about the actual shoe than the sentiment - keeping loved ones close to you on your wedding day, even if they can't physically be with you.

Unfortunately I don't know who to credit with this photograph. I saw it on Tumblr and the source was Post Secret from about two years go...  If it's yours, please let me know!

M.I.A.

I have completely been Missing In Action. In fact, I'm impressed you're even reading this. The quick update is that I just haven't been inspired to blog, nor have I had the energy.  If you blog then you know why I need energy; if you don't you probably think I am a complete weenie.  Also, if you've ever been pregnant then you know why I don't have any energy. Wait, what? Yep, that's right:

My husband and I are expecting a little girl around November 5th!  I have approximately 12 weeks left to go and blogging and weddings just can't be a priority right now.  Some people might say I'm "nesting", but I call it "making sure my daughter won't have to sleep in a dresser drawer"!   

I have missed posting here, though.  I can't promise I'll be here everyday...I can't even promise I will keep it wedding related! My mind wanders. :) I'll be hitting the ground running in December/January though, so bear with me.

Cozumel Boudoir

It's cold and dismal for 'Spring' on the East Coast, but I've got some hot stuff here today! It's even bringing me around from my blogging funk (thanks for being patient during my self-imposed hiatus, and thanks especially to the four of you that noticed I was gone and asked after me!)

Joanie and Ryan were married in Cozumel last November, and were kind enough - and smart enough! - to let their photographers follow them around all the way until the end of the night.... right up to their honeymoon boudoir.  Or, as Joanie calls it, the - well, I'll just let her tell you herself:

"I’d like to think that I came up with the idea to have my photographers follow us to our room all on my own, but it’s very possible I saw it on a blog somewhere and experienced a Liz Lemon moment of creativity (Dale Snitterman, anybody?).

All I know is I wanted the photographers to capture whatever moments occur along
the way from the dance floor to the (sorry, mom) MARITAL BOOM BOOM ROOM.
Because our reception was a dancing and frolicking festival of moment (we danced a lot) we were sweaty and disheveled by the time it was last call. So the photos taken at the very end of the night captured a time when we really didn’t give a crap about anything. The wedding was over and we were so happy with how amazing everything turned out. We were done posing for pictures and were at that point of giddiness where all we could possibly do was laugh. That’s probably what I love the most about these pictures… they caught us at a time when happiness had reached its boiling point and laughter took over.

We laughed all through our vows too, but I’m still trying to figure out what we found so
freaking hilarious about them."

Do you love it?! I do. And I think it's a perfectly romantic, sweet, and still-sexy alternative to a traditional boudoir shoot.  Did you ever consider letting your wedding photogs come up to your newlywed suite? Will you now? (And more importantly - will you forever refer to your suite as the "Marital Boom Boom Room"? You have to! It's too good not to.) 

See more of Joanie and Ryan, plus amazing shots of her dress (made by her mom!) in the gallery.

Absence Makes the Heart Grow...

...irritated. Mine, at least! I realize the blog has been majorly lacking the last few days and I hate it and I'm sorry.  Both world and personal events have made me feel a bit like this is just so...unimportant lately. But it's not! Life doesn't stop, and I've put far too much work into this site to let it piddle away to crap.

So. I'm jumping back into it with gusto tonight! I mean, Modern Family is another repeat so what else have I got to do? There's no schedule in place but coming up I have a Manhattan wedding that makes me green with envy, an after-wedding bedroom session in Mexico (hotttt!), fashion boards, and "Hey, I shoulda thought of that!" ideas. {So obviously my lack of blogging is not lack of material, it's just an abundance of my blah feelings}

If you really miss me you can jump over to the Weddzilla blog where I managed t pull myself together yesterday and post about a new fun online wedding boutique, with dresses from Marchesa, Lela Rose, Calvin Klein and more! Below is a sneak and here is the link.
