Wedding update…
February 16, 2010
I’ve been completely neglecting our upcoming nuptials and seriously need to get it together. I haven’t even picked a date or my dress or the flowers or…sigh. Oh well, all in due time, right? Besides, I like planning and I can’t WAIT to be Katie Armour so this will be fun. Above, I’d like John to wear something like this.
For me, this.
Carrying this.
Inside this.
For guests, a homemade program like this and this.
Definitely a creative ring shot like this.
Oh and don’t forget a swell shoe shot like this.
Alfred will be wearing his Sunday best. Perhaps a vintage bow tie like this.
We’ll dine on stunningly beautiful Cupcake Cafe cupcakes like this.
And then we’ll live happily ever after like this (my grandparents, Buddy and Rita)!
What do you think??? Just thinking about it makes me all smiley and giddy with butterflies!
XO Katie

Awww, thank you everybody! So glad you think I’m on the right track… Now perhaps I ought to firm up a date for this shin dig… XO

Love it all!!! You’re definitely on the right track! (I learned how to make gumpaste flowers from a man who used to work for the Cupcake Cafe. He is an amazing talent!)
Best,
Stephanie -
It looks like you are good to go with your wedding, and it sounds like it will be fabulous – now set a date! :)
I love all of your ideas they are simply fabulous! xxoo

Stephanie — Love a Cupcake Cafe connection—it is by far my favorite cupcake shop in New York! We used to stop in for waffles before hitting the Hell’s Kitchen flea market.
Cathi— I know, I know, the date…hmmm. XO
-
That sounds like a dream wedding to me! I love that dress from J.Crew. Alfred would look adorable in a bow tie too!

love love LOVE!
it all looks divine.
now just dying for shots from the real thing!
happy to give no-frills wedding advice… ours was easy, fun and elegant… -
It would be perfect! Enjoy being engaged… there’s definitely no need to hurry up and decide, decide, decide. I kind of wish I’d taken my time!

Have you realized my boyfriend is the Bow Tie Guy? I must send him the photo of dog. We’ve been talking about a bow tie for our cat but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
The first photo looks exactly what BTG wore to a wedding last summer, to which I say, perfect ensemble!

ohh honey! i love this and i want alfie dressed up and walking down the aisle with someone!
love your inspiration shots! -
Darling Kate. It will be a beautiful wedding.
Your grandparents sound awesome and since I am probably almost twice your age, I am hoping to look as good as your grandma in my 70′s!
Until your interview, I didn’t realize you were living in Morgantown. I am a Pittsburgh girl myself, but now live just outside NYC. Not sure I could go back….. Best, Lynn, Decor Arts Now -
Lynn — A Pittsburgh girl! We make it up there from time to time for a J.Crew fix, but for the most part I’m trying my best to embrace country living while I’m here. I only have 3.5 months to go—at the beginning I was counting the days till we left, but Morgantown has slowly grown on me. Not that I won’t be pleased to move somewhere new come June! Thanks for your sweet comments as always… XO

This is such a very special time in your lives. Brings back such great memories for me. All your pics and plans sound fab (also loved that interview and getting to know you better). My husband surprised me one year (when we were still in NYC) with the most amazing Birthday cake from Cupcake Cafe…see, another fond memory!
-
YAYYYY!! I love it all. The vintage suit for the future hubs is awesome. And the dress…and bouquet…and venue. Your ideas are perfect and even better — they’re perfect for you and Mr. Armour. And there’s nothing better than that.
-
love, love LOVE that dress!!!! i totally have it saved in my wedding file…shh….:). i’m sure it will look incredible whatever you choose!
-
It’s going to be great. You are going to have so much fun! Plan away, that’s the fun part & I know you will make is so very special. Hope you are having a good week. Trying to get back in the blog groove. I’ve been missing my buds! Talk soon.
-
You have such great taste! It will be a beautiful wedding I just know it!
Hope your having a swell week!
-
I think you have more planned than you think! all you need to do is execute your thoughts and ideas. I love the style of dress you’ve picked for yourself I’m going to be making one in this goddess style for my BFF(although we don’t have a final design yet, but that is the direction that we are going in) who is getting married this summer. I’m so excited! I’m practically putting my wedding plans on hold to help her.
Good luck with it! i’m sure you’ll do fine and you have tons of people who will give you an opinion if you ask
-
It is going to be gorgeous! I may be a tad jealous of whoever gets to capture your wedding day:)
-
Loving this post… and all of your selections. Classic with a twist … it will be beautiful!
-
Is the wedding dress idea J.Crew? It’s so simple and beautiful, I wish we got J.Crew here! What a lovely blog you have
-
You’ve got it all figured out it seems! Any progress since this? I’d love to know. I feel I’ve fallen behind in my own wedding plans, even though its only been about 2 weeks since we did some solid planning! I’m excited for your new name, it sounds very awesome!
Sounds like perfection! XXOX
