Weekly Round-Up

by in Main on

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!! I hope y’all have finished your Christmas shopping, wrapped all the presents, and spread some peace on Earth. If you’ve been a little busy with the holiday excitement or need a pick-me-up from packed malls and crazy traffic, you’ve come to the right place. (P.S. Did anyone know that Tuesday was National Bah Humbug day?)

Before we continue with the Round-Up, take a couple of minutes to look at this super-cool stop motion wedding video from photographers Bayly & Moore in New Zealand. I’ve never seen a stop motion wedding video until Marissa passed this along. I love stop motion because each frame is significant and part of a story. My favorite part? The groom and his groomsmen dancing about 2 minutes in. You know you love fun groomsmen, too.



On to the blog!

This week, Emily’s bunting romance continues with her Handmade Find. We can’t blame her though, because Pretty Swell’s take on bunting is well, pretty swell. (Too corny?) Their fabric flower garlands and cake toppers are too cute and totally customizable. Just look at their color selection!

Katharine’s bling spotlight for the week was inspired by Jessica Simpson’s nontraditional engagement ring. Head to the post to take a look at all the sparkle, Katharine’s favorites, and weigh in on the nontraditional ring.

That’s it for this week! Have a Southern Christmas y’all! What’s that? You want us to sing it to you? Okay…

Now that we’re married, Kyle + I get to share a lot of things we didn’t get get to as singletons. We might not have the same last name like a lot of married couples, but there were plenty of other things we were totally jazzed about sharing as newlyweds.

Like an apartment, for one, and the pleasure of saying “our home,” for another. (I’d say we share the T.V. remote, too, but we all know who the TV Queen is in our family, and she does not like to share.


The hardest part about designing our first Christmas card was fitting in all our favorite moments from the wedding.

Since this is our first holiday season as a Mr. and Mrs., we also get to share our very first Christmas card with friends + family, and naturally I want to make sure y’all are in on the fun, too.

It’s clear these two kiddos were made for each other, though I’m willing to wager I had the cuter seasonal get-up.

We loved our adorable save-the-date cards from Wedding Paper Divas so much that we knew we’d be ordering from them when it came time to spread Seasons’ Greetings. The black + white photo cards seemed perfect, not just for a B&W diva like myself, but also since we’re just three months out from our big day and know how much people like wedding pictures.

So, as those married couples say: Merry Christmas, from our home to yours!
Love, Kat + Kyle

Naturally, Emily went the handmade route with her holiday cards. Kyle + I loved them!

Weigh-in: Emily firmly believes some things should be saved for marriage… and photo cards are one of those things she insists are to be reserved for married couples. For the record, she says photo-less holiday cards are a-okay, and even sent out a sweet version of her own – pictured above. Do y’all agree with Miss Em? What kind of Christmas cards did you send out, before and/or after your wedding? And, by now, I hope you know the drill: send pics!

    […] Santa brought me a fiance for Christmas. Wonder what he’ll leave under the tree this year? Happy holidays to you and yours :) Where are you spending the holidays, dear readers? Any awesome wintry traditions you’d […]

    I love the save the date with the pictures of the bride and groom when they were little!

      Thanks, Rachel! But I have to confess: it was actually Kyle who picked out and designed our save the date cards :) He’s the crafty one of the family.

    I agree that photo cards are great for married couples, but I have three roommates, and we decided this year that we didn’t need to be married to send out our own! So, we used Snapfish to put some of the fun pictures we’ve taken together this year on a card, and we each sent them to our family and friends. Everyone loved them! Here’s a link to the blog post I did on them: http://laurenandlincoln.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-card.html

    Merry Christmas!

      Lauren, LOVE the idea of a roommate holiday card! Totally something I could see myself doing with my best friend Molly :)

    Love the card!! Here is mine, with my sis: http://isleofview-facesoflove.blogspot.com/2010/12/merry-christmas.html

    I do agree with Emily about saving the photo cards until marriage , unless your card pulls double-duty as a save the date or engagement announcement, which again, is a little tacky. I do love photo cards though! It feels more personal and also lets you keep up on people you don’t see very often! Have a beautiful Christmas!
