The Knotty Bride™ Wedding Blog + Wedding Vendor Guide

First, here’s a little note from Alison: Happy Friday, friendlies!  I’ll be out at an industry brunch this mafternoon (see what I did there?  I combined morning and afternoon to make… ohh forget it), but I’ll be back here to play with you guys again in a few shakes.  Of course, all of that really [...]

I honestly can’t decide which project gets me more giddy; the hearts-on-a-stick cupcake toppers from earlier today, or the DIY coming up in this post.  Truly, on an adorableness scale of 1 to 10, these diy projects = MAXIMUM ADORABLENESS.

Morning friendlies!  Hope you guys had great weekends.  If you’re from the northeast, then that’s directly correlated to how well you bundled up, because it was colder than the devil’s heart this weekend.  Shocking, I know.  And we get to look forward to, that’s right, ANOTHER  snowfall this Tuesday!  Yes!  Isn’t it fabulous? Anyway, guess [...]

We’re kinda snowed in right now, but I couldn’t care less because a) gosh is it gorgeous outside, b) the nefarious snowmonster from the last snowfall has transformed into one of my favorite lovable philosophers, Confucius:

Hi TKB readers! Lauren Elise again and I am back for another installment of DIY goodness!  For this project I drew inspiration from the forest and the flora and fauna that inhabit it.  Considering a rustic, woodsy wedding?  So much beauty can be found here so this is a perfect theme for a DIY event.

We’ll get to THAT loveliness in a minute… Before I address the pretty going on in this post, I have a few factoids/tips/comments to make, so bear with: I missed the Bachelor this week.  A) I know, I can’t believe I wanna watch this crap but,

Here’s the first thing my little niece said when she got downstairs this morning:

Got plans for Monday night?  If not, how ’bout some free tickets to Wedding Bootcamp, where you can get some great advice, grab some treats AND leave with some booty? No, not that kind of booty.  Well, actually, I can’t say for sure that it’s not that kind of booty.  But I certainly hope that’s [...]

This post is about confetti.  Trust.  But first, a massive digression, in the form of a story.

So!  Tomorrow I’ll be bringing you

Hmm.  My titles are getting too long. Ok, so, as many of you know, I recently purchased a hella expensive, hella worth it MacBook Pro.  Yup, all 17″ of it – worth it.  Except for one thing.

Happy Monday!  Hope everyone had a marvelous weekend!  The boy and I spent some time at Renegade Craft Fair on Sunday and aside from the gale-force winds and intermittent murderous rain droplets, it was a pretty fun experience.  More on that a bit later in the week.  And by the way, no I didn’t drag [...]

Ok, before I get into what the above is all about, I just wanna say that I really hope everyone had themselves super enjoyable/rewarding/relaxing Memorial Day weekends!  For the most part, the weather ’round here was ridiculously gorgeous, and it seemed pretty hard not to have a good time, regardless of what we were doing.  [...]

I have to show you this, because it is a reason to live… if you look for reasons to live in your wedding blogs.  I hinted at its furious awesomeness in last week’s FFF, but it bears repeating and expanding. The wedding of Junia and Andres, photographed by the amazing Sarah Yates, was featured on [...]

People, LOOK what you can do with doilies!  I mean, flimsy freaking doilies!  It’s seriously a thrill and a half sometimes, to see what my fellow bloggers have come up with.  Two Brunettes teamed up with Cyd from The Sweestest Occasion and Ami of Elizabeth Anne Designs and came out of the whole thing with all [...]

When I came across this fabulous idea, I immediately knew I had to post about it.  This is so right up my alley!  And I suspect it’s right up yours, too… Elizabeth Messina – one of my absolute favorite photographers in the entire galaxy and beyond, and who has a blog that is almost as fabulous [...]

I dropped by Anthropologie two nights in a row last week, and while my wallet is pissed off, my hypothalamus is giving me a head massage.  It was exhilarating, like shopping so often is – especially since I never go shopping anymore (NO TIME).  I was like a squirrel but with clothes, storing up for [...]

OK, you know how much I LOOOOOOVE the Wedding Chicks.  If not, let me remind you. … But when they make things for us like this, I just… I… it’s just… All I can think of to say is THANK YOU, Amy and Jocey!  You two are helping us ramp up that pretty factor in [...]

There’s been a lot of news around these parts as of late.  Here’s some more… I am pleased to announce that The Knotty Bride is now welcoming sponsors and other forms of advertising on the blog!  TKB has grown by leaps and bounds since its relatively recent inception in October of 2009, thanks to brides, [...]

Strap in, here we go!  RAPID FIRE First things first: are you going to the Brooklyn Bridal Fair at BAM this Sunday at 2:00pm? Jillian (of 100 Layer Cake) will be there, among others, showing off what I suspect will be some ab-fab tablescape ideas.  The ladies over at 100 Layer Cake also clued us in to [...]
