Wedding Wednesday

Bridezilla Cometh

By South Philly Fashionista

There are less than two months left on the calendar before our wedding and I am starting to freak out. I imagine this is what brings on the bridezilla syndrome. My list of things that remain to be done includes:

dress alterations
find a seamstress
find shoes
pick out accessories
decide on make-up
get wedding party gifts
get parent gifts
select a hair [...]

Trash the Dress?

By South Philly Fashionista

OK, it’s technically Wedding Wednesday today so I thought I’d throw an update your way. As we’re hitting the home stretch now, we’re starting to wrap up all the remaining details, one of which is the photography. (In case your new here, my fiance and I are getting married in Mexico this Nov.) The resort [...]

Going Postal

By South Philly Fashionista

I had planned some great posts for you the last couple of days, none of which have been published due to an unfortunate experience with the post office! Like many Philly brides, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that our city is home to the nation’s first post office. As such, mail sent [...]

You’re Invited!

By South Philly Fashionista

OK, so you’re not really invited, but our guests soon will be. Our wedding invitations are currently being printed, courtesy of weddingpaperdivas.com. We selected a casual, simple design in keeping with the theme of our destination wedding.
Cute, no? We thought about a palm tree design like in our save-the-dates, but when we changed the color [...]

In the Pink

By South Philly Fashionista

Wedding plans are moving along nicely now, so I thought it was time for an update!
How hot is my MOH going to look walking down the aisle in this Alvina Valenta dupioni (silk Shantung) bridesmaid dress??

The fuchsia color (watermelon if my fiance asks) is a far cry from the dark orange tone I originally wanted, [...]

The Search is Over!

By South Philly Fashionista

I’m thrilled to be getting a Wedding Wednesday update out there on Wednesday this week. But, unless there is some huge outcry from readers, I will now provide information on our nuptials as appropriate, and likely at times, ad nauseum.
The biggest news at the moment, much to the relief of my girlfriends, I’m sure, is [...]

Indecision 2010

By South Philly Fashionista

It’s Wedding Wednesday again and we’re get closer and closer to the date. Five months from this week, I’ll be married and I honestly wish I had more news for you. I am having a hard time making decisions about this wedding and will probably be lucky if my family and friends don’t kill me [...]

It’s All About Me

By South Philly Fashionista

This Wedding Wednesday, I have a confession for you all: I have officially become everything I hate.
Years ago, I worked under a woman whose outlandish wedding plans quickly consumed her life, to the point where she was pawning her responsibilities off on the rest of the staff. She barely showed up for work at all [...]

Yellow is Not My Color

By South Philly Fashionista

Ok, so I finally got some answers from our previously absentee wedding coordinator. (For those of you who are keeping score, I had to go Bridezilla on her ass.) However, for the moment, that wedding worry is under control. Of course, I have a whole new dilemma to present to you for this week’s Wedding [...]
