good [wifey] things: file folder tote

Remember the Seinfeld episode with George and his exploding wallet? I was about five seconds away from recreating that scene with my wedding binder. I maxed out its loose paper capacity with t-minus nine months to go.

My folks-in-law-to-be thoughtfully picked me up the tre-cool Audrey File Folder Tote from
russel+hazel. It's a nice solution for brides with a ream of contracts in tow. I just love all their products and who can't resist the desire to get organized when it looks this good? I will let you take a guess as to which color I have.

flutes, cake knives, unity candles, oh my!

Search any of these keywords combined with “wedding” and you will shutter with the ugliness that ensues before your eyes. It’s really horrid. You best set aside some time to do research and get creative if you want something different. I can see our stuff going down something like my "reception/ceremony must buy” mood board pictured here. Alessi cake knife, Crate & Barrel flutes, and some random candle sticks I found. I bet we get forced into using some unity candle holder at the church. I am really sold on these flutes I think. All accomplished without hearts, 3d flourishes, and doves.

good [wifey] things: the organizer

i am confident i could have met my wedding organizational needs with just a binder and Excel speadsheets, however i am a huge sucker for planners and other design items stemming from the "fill in the blank" craze. when i found Target's Club Wed Organizer, i couldn't resist. it is straight up brilliant-- a breath of fresh air among the vast array of mediocre planners on the market.

the worksheet-esque format allows users to record global details and manage information within beautifully designed modern, cheery pages. it is void of unnecessary content and truly focuses on user-personalization, making it a very effective tool in a bride-elect's planning arsenal. when content does appear, it is smart, to the point and well illustrated (do check out the registry section).

yet another fine example of Target's pro-design values making the world a better place.
