Hi chatty brides! My name is Nichole and my fiances name is Kyle. We are getting married a bit off season in March- but for a great reason! I am marrying into a large Irish family and we are basing our wedding around the St. Patricks parade in Newport. (Always a favorite day for us) --Plus it will be great to escape to somewhere warm right after! :)
Our wedding is at Belle Mer the night before the parade so this should be two days of F-U-N!

Hello All! I just wanted to send my last Chatty Post. :(
Best of luck with all of your weddings I still do a daily stalk of this website although I am a "Mrs" now. I can't seem to get enough. I LOVE hearing all about the DIY projects and all of your progress and will truly miss being a chatty. I WANT A RE-DO!!!!! LOL...my advice is to soak it up and have fun. Don't sweat the small stuff and enjoy your day! It truly does go by so fast!!!!

Since I am in a wedding depression now that it's over...of course I needed something else to do...why not a BABY! Here are some shots from my "earthy" baby shower.
P.S. the baby is due on our FIRST anniversary oddly enough!!!

I cannot believe it's been a full year as of next week!!!! TIME FLIES!!!!!
I need some chatty help....what will you get your hubby for your first anniversary gift??? (I'm on a deadline because our baby is due the SAME DAY...what a year)!!!!

Hi Chatties!!!! Hope plans are coming along great. I know in the past us Brides would have a meet up. I just wanted to put this out to everyone if they wanted to have a fun night out. Call me if I can help put together a "Chatty Table".

Summerbride is getting MARRIED Friday!!!! Please send all of your good weather karma her way (and to Newport)!!!!! We can't wait to see all of her fabulous finds in action. Yellow, Navy, Stripes, Lemons, Chargers, Dels, JCrew inspiration....OH MY!!!! I'll be sure to keep you posted on how amazing it was.

Sun Sun Mr. Golden Sun....please shine down on her!!!!

Now that the wedding is over I'm in a major planning depression...LOL! I miss the planning, obsessing, and DIY projects. Here are some cool birch vases I made for the big day...do you think it would be a fun project to put on Etsy??? Might give me a fun hobby. Cool or lame?

YEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! Freshly back from Mexico with a tan and all. Back to reality....pullllllllllllease take me back to 85 degree weather STAT!!!! Figured I'd share my photographers "sneak peak" with you since it is up on his blog :)

...the pictures speak for themselves....AMAZING!!!!
Belle Mer staff, service, food, expertise, etc rocks my socks off!!!!
BIG HUGE thank you to them and all of my FAB vendors. I definitely had the "A Team" :)

Hi Ladies! I am so torn about what to do to thank my vendors and wanted to hear about ideas you may have. Clearly "cash is king", but how much is enough when they are doing such a wonderful job? Is anyone getting their vendors gifts? I'd love to hear your feedback! I want to do something personal, but am having a hard time figuring out what to do...

So I'm making up for my lack of posts! LOL...since I am in the wedding industry I see the same type of weddings all of the time so I need to think out side the box....
Instead of a guest book I wanted something I would actually look at and what better than a Rolodex!

My colors are fuchsia with a splash of Zebra...LOL (my girls got the zebra shoes...yey!). So I was on the hunt....here's what a FAB Etsy made me....

I have been the biggest Chatty Slacker there is!!!! So....4 more weeks...OMG!!!!
I have been sooooo busy with work that my plans have been at a stand still....BUT my girls did surprise me recently for a full day of Bachelorette F-U-N!!!!

Oh my goodness! I have about 60 days left- I can't believe it!!! It is so surreal to be a bride since I am in the wedding industry, but it makes it so fun!!!! I need to get inspired for what all of you are doing for a skin plan??? March is great for an off season wedding but not so great for pastey skin! Help!!!!
I know its terrible but I booked a mini-tanning package- I have no idea when my shower is but I know its soon and I don't want to be casper the friendly ghost! LOL
Please share your skin/bronzing plan! :)
