August 27, 2007An Artistic ProposalI just love this proposal- romantic with a twist! All the planning that went into it and the careful thought of the groom to tailor it to his brides personality! You can read more at his blog August 14, 2007Palette Generator - Marie Antoinette StyleI recently wrote about the cool little tool from brides.com which generates fab new colour combinations for your wedding. I just came across an even more inspiring one- but this one has a twist, it’s up to you! The Palette Generator allows you upload the photo of your choice (and since we’re in wedding mode lets tailor it to our wedding!) and the generator will tell you the colours you could use to bring your inspiration to life. Let’s take this gorgeous photo from the Kirsten Dunst film Marie Antoinette (a must see for colour inspiration!)
Didn’t We Almost Have It All - A Grey’s Anatomy Wedding
Cristina has played the anti-bride in this couple. She’s struggled to become a ‘bride’ even with Burke’s pushing. This of course leads to everything falling apart in a way that only TV land can do!
Bridesmaids Meredith, Izzie and Callie wore different chocolate gowns.
One of my favourite parts (which we didn’t get to see in the church but in an operating theatre!) were Burke’s vows
Cristina, I could promise to hold you, and to cherish you. I could promise to be there in sickness and in health. I could say till death do us part. But I won’t. Those vows are for optimistic couples, the ones full of hope. And I do not stand here on my wedding day, optimistic or full of hope. I am not optimistic. I am not hopeful. I am sure. I am steady. And I know. I am a heart man. I take them apart. I put them back together. I hold them in my hands. I … am a heart man. So this, I am sure, you are my partner, my lover, my very best friend. My heart beats for you. And on this day, the day of our wedding, I promise you this. I promise you to lay my heart in the palm of your hands. I promise you … me.Sigh!

I adore bows= I’m always drawn to bows and seem to be obsessed with looking at cute ribbon and thinking about how I can use them.
