The Knotty Bride™ Wedding Blog + Wedding Vendor Guide

Hey guys it’s me. Not Ryan Gosling; Alison.  Sometimes I write posts that are so outlandishly outlandish, that the only thing I feel can pull it together, give it at least the facade of relevance and legitimacy… is Ryan’s punim.  I think it’s doing a great job of it.  A really great, sexy job. Now [...]

. LOVE TYPOGRAPHY.  Now, I know I say “I love” about a lot of things – but with Typography, I mean it. *** If Typography had been a character on Saved by the Bell, it would have been Zack Morris (I realize it would make more sense as Jessie Spano, but… c’mon).  And, if asked [...]

I think it’s really just the vibrant colors that got me with this one.  I realize it’s only ribbon.  Folded mini bundles of ribbon.  But look at them… aren’t they sort of glorious?  Maybe it’s just me… And I want these coasters BADLY.  I have a healthy chunk of German heritage flowing through my very [...]

Well, one big component of those obsessions is twine.  And for a long time, it didn’t matter what kind.  You [...]

Bakerella does some amazing things with a little bit of flour, sugar and some lollie sticks.  But this project takes the cake. It goes on, as you can imagine… But, here’s the beauty part: And, stop right there. That’s it – that’s where I start to tear up. *** Find out what prompted all of [...]

While following The Knotty Bride and the rest of your friends on Twitter, you may have noticed that many of us use the occasional ♥ symbol, among a number of other neat little keyboard characters that many call, “TwitterKeys.” {Image courtesy of TwitterKeys} Below, I’ve written a few phrases into my Twitter text box, as [...]

Remember this YouTube sensation?  28-year-olds Kevin Heinz and Jill Peterson had their entire bridal party — seven bridesmaids, five groomsmen and four ushers — dance down the aisle to the tune of Chris Brown’s “Forever” in this amazing video.  Simple but strong choreography coupled with sincere dedication resulted in an experience that will live on [...]
