PHILADELPHIA BRIDAL BLOG Tori: March and April… why did you leave me??
This is serious. The past 2 months of my life have been the craziest I’ve ever experienced. Since March, Clay has defended (successfully, I might add!) his PhD thesis, a wonderful couples’ shower was hosted for us by friends, we drove me (and 2/3 of our cats) back to PA to stay at my mom’s [...]
Tori: Invitations A-Z—the Good, the Bad, and the Oopsies
Invitations: a perfect example of the waste associated with weddings that I absolutely abhor. The worst part? There’s really no way around them. Emailing guests telling them where and when to show up just doesn’t scream “wedding!” Even in our completely wired world, an invitation to a wedding is expected to come in the mail [...]
Tori: The Great Plus One Debate
Here is a question that nearly every bride struggles with: Who on the invite list gets an “and guest” after their name? Some etiquette states that every guest over the age of 18 should be granted the option of accompaniment. But honestly… who has that kind of luxury in budget or guest count? I don’t [...]
Tori: Honeymoon–Reason Alone To Get Married
Saying that I love to travel is an understatement. I get excited to go anywhere that involves staying in a hotel or flying. I even love airplane food. It’s true. There’s something about the way that everything comes individually wrapped and is sized to fit perfectly into that little tray that just makes me giddy. [...]
Tori: The Anti-Trend
February 9th marked the 4 month countdown for Clay and me. I’m getting to that point where I start every other sentence with, “I can’t believe…” you can fill in the blank with whatever you choose, some of my recent remarks are “that the wedding is so close” “that tuxedo rentals are so expensive” “that [...]
Tori: Videoooohhh No!
Oh, wedding videos… these now mainstream masterpieces are perhaps the most embarrassing portrayals of ourselves that we as guests likely never get to see. Between the very, very cheesy songs that are played throughout and the totally excellent dance montages, what’s there not to loathe? …………..until it’s your wedding……….. Now, don’t get me wrong, I [...]
Tori: Say Cheese! Not Cheesy.
Here’s a well-known fact among my friends and family members: I am not particularly fond of having my photo taken. I think that it began back at Kernsville Elementary after a 5 year string of terrible school pictures that even my mother couldn’t bring herself to frame. I’m talking bad. High school wasn’t much better; [...]
Tori: Step One–Band, Wedding Band.
I love music. It’s a love that’s been consistent throughout my entire life, from riding in my mom’s station wagon listening to the Beach Boys to my first hard rock show when I was 14. I spent all of my hard earned retail job money on concert tickets and have seen everyone from Paul McCartney [...]
Tori: “Wedding Style”–WWDTD?
By “wedding style” I mean lackthereof and by “WWDTD?” I mean what would David Tutera do? When Clay and I first got engaged, one of his work friends gave him a boatload of wedding books for us to read since it became increasingly clear that neither of us had the slightest idea how to plan [...]
Tori’s Bridal Blog: World Beyond Wedding–Givingthanks
This week is annually a favorite of mine. For me, there’s nothing better than a holiday that involves not only copious amounts of eating, but I adore the endless hours spent preparing food; Thanksgiving is the Super Bowl of Cooking. Clay and I are staying in Iowa City for this Thanksgiving due to the astronomically [...]
