Guilt

All you brides out there, try not to be a bride like I was. I’ve been married for over 4 years now and have yet to give my fabulous bridesmaids any vanity shots of how gorgeous they looked that day. Can you believe that? I’ve felt guilty about it forever. I also have yet to create a wedding album of our own to show off our pictures, but researching album companies and professional printers along with dreaming up album designs for sample albums has inspired me to get my butt in gear.

So naturally, the first album I’ve designed is from our wedding. Enter KISS Wedding Books!  I ordered some ‘little Kisses’ in ‘Redlight Red’ a few weeks ago. They update you at every stage of the printing and binding process, which frankly just fuels the anticipation! They arrived on Tuesday this week and they are. So. Friggin’. Cute!

They even come with that little patterned pouch to tuck them into, which is just gorgeous. I was so very impressed! I got 3 of them – one for each of my bridesmaids and one to keep for myself. I think they’d make perfect gifts for your wedding party – they’re so small, yet so elegant and a great keepsake! (However, I’ve also ordered some prints for my ‘maids in case they want to hang their gorgeous selves on their own walls.)

As for the inside, here are some of the spreads I designed myself. I’m so happy with the way they turned out and anxious to see what my bridesmaids think! (I have a feeling that when I give the one to my sister, my mom is going to want my spare!!) Photos by Sharla Mawhinney of Eye of the Beholder.

What do you think? Will it be enough to alleviate my guilt of being such a dead-beat bride?

Jon and I are headed out to London (ON, not UK) for Easter with his family and I’m hoping spring will be in full bloom out there so I can get some great shots. It will be several weeks yet before Calgary is any colour but brown, I fear!

Hope the Easter Bunny is good to all of you and that you get nothing but Bernard Callebaut chocolates! (That’s totally what I’m hoping the Easter Bunny brings ME!)

Cheers,
Karla
