A Funny Thing Happened. . .

Over the weekend I had this florist appointment that really chafed my chaps. We were a wee bit late for our two o’clock appointment but as luck would have it she was still with another client. Her assistant told us it would be about 10-15 minutes. No bother. Sister and I amused ourselves by looking round the shoppe and perusing the portfolio that was left out. 

She Put a Flower in Her Hair

Now that I've bought the dress (which by the by I don't really think about too much. Is that weird?) I'm starting to look at accessories. Well I'm almost quite certain my granny is making my veil and garter. Maybe I should actually talk to her about that, huh? Whatevs.  Something lovely has struck my fancy. A couple of years ago I was a fanatic about wearing a flower in my hair. Even though I'm currently rocking the headbands (shout out to American Apparel. Call me.) I still like to switch it up and add a hair flower. Since I'm comfortable doing the hair flower thingy on the regular perhaps I could incorporate such loveliness on the wedding day. Where better than Etsy to start my search? I was not disappointed.

Wedding Wire

True to form I’ve had my Wedding Wire account for some time. My countdown is still a big number but it’s now less than 365. With that comes another milestone. I’ve finally caught up with their checklist. It’s December and it says I have 2 upcoming tasks!! I’ve been checking things off for awhile now but the checklist didn’t officially get going until December 2010. Part of me is excited and another part of me now feels like I’m behind. Typical. 

All this time I thought I was ahead I still have 95 tasks left!

What's left to be done? Everything!

Plus I plan on taking a holiday hiatus.  Should I be nervous?

Hey Mr. DJ

I swear I didn’t mean to do it. It wasn’t on my to-do list at all. I wasn’t supposed to start lookin’ a DJ till April. And then it happened. . . I got that itch. Hi, remember me? I’m addicted to wedding magazines. Soooo. . . I just picked up a small one, you know, to take the edge off. Nice New York Weddings Magazine. Pretty pages chock full of vendor listings. Now I had every intention of just looking at florists but my eyes wandered over to the DJ listings. Just a quick peek.  Naturally some of them piqued my interest. On one of my many breaks from NOT writing my papers for class I started looking them up on the interweb. Ugh. . .don’t like you. No you won’t do either. Yikes, what do you mean you won’t play the Chicken Dance?!? It was all very disappointing. And then I found him. . .

No More Drama

Previously on Hearts & Whimsy there was a bit of drama surrounding the venue and catering.

• What's Fong Here?
• He Said...She Said
• Sister to the Rescue
• Apologies & Departures

Well no more!

Sister and I met with the new team at the museum last week. To be honest, I was all set for a fight. I was ready to get my ‘zilla on.

It's Finally Here!

There’s a Paper Source in Brooklyn! Yippee!!! Conveniently located at 102 Smith Street for all my crafting needs. We (Mumsie, Sister and Lil Sis) went to their grand opening event this past Saturday. I. Love. This. Place. I’ve been stalking it all summer. I heard a rumor it was coming and every time I rode by on the bus I checked to see how much progress was being made. I might have actually taken a specific bus just to check the store’s status. Anywhos, they were doing demos all day on Saturday and we stuck around for the duration. I learned quite a bit. Something tells me I’ll be spending a lot of time and money here in the foreseeable future.

Things I’ve fallen in love with since Saturday:

November Wrap-up

November turned out to be quite the interesting month indeed. As you may recall I had some goals for this month. Let's see how I did.

(1) Formally inviting the bridal party? Umm. . . not so much. They all KNOW who they are but I ran into some setbacks with the actual invites. I'm not ready to call it a failure yet.  Details eventually.
