Holy crap. These dresses are gorgeous. You’ll have to travel to London for them, but hell, it’s only money and LOOK how pretty these dresses are.

I recently attended a lovely wedding where the bride (sweetest girl ever) had a beautiful tattoo on her shoulder. There was a slight buzz in the room about whether this was appropriate. This is a debate that could last forever. Here’s what I think: If you like your tattoos, proudly display them and let your personality shine through. Do what makes you comfortable and don’t worry about anyone else thinks. Period. Take it from me – three tattoos. Two of them biggies.

When will I ever learn to check my posts for typos before I publish them?

I received a lot of positive (and some negative) feedback on my last list of wedding songs. Not everyone likes the same stuff but here are a few more ideas for first dance or recessional songs. If you’re getting married in a Catholic church, these are no-no’s as recessional songs.

All I Want is You – Barry Lous Polisar

With You – Natalie Walker

Gotta Have You – The Weepies

Is This Love – Bob Marley

Pride and Joy – Stevie Ray Vaughan

Sugar Magnolia – Grateful Dead

The Unbridaled Expo

Saturday, January 10th in Philladelphia.

Unbridaled is a wedding expo that steers away from the traditional and focuses on local, handmade, environmentally responsible and alternative solutions to planning a wedding. Realizing that mainstream wedding shows are not appealing to all, this expo intends for everyone to participate no matter what their religion, race, preference, or income. This event redefines an industry dominated by commercial products and empowers people to think creatively.

Be sure to stop by the Cami’s Paperie booth!

I find this video interesting since I can’t figure out what the big deal is. A LOT (yes, A LOT) worse could happen (and can’t she just give him the ring later? Can’t she whisper to him, ‘I forgot it, sorry, my bad’. And WHY is the maid of honor getting hysterical?) This is nowhere near the catastrophe that they make it out to be. Shame on mom, too.

Bride Forgets Ring

This great pic was sent to me by my good friend, Lisa. It sends the message loud and clear. Thanks, Lisa!

So here I am, cruising around “my” Internet (as my father likes to refer to it…as in, “Cami, would you look up the weather in Paris on YOUR Internet?) Anyhoo, I can’t even imagine how many hours went into this cake. To see Maribelle’s other amazing creations, check out her website.

I love this! I was just checking out Martha Stewart’s website and saw this:

Shoe signing has been a Turkish tradition among brides for generations. Single bridesmaids and female friends sign your bridal shoe. After the night has ended, the person whose name has faded the most will be the next to marry.

I can’t help it – these things are just too funny not to share.
