Mrs. Tulip's Picture
Mrs. Tulip, DC Age and Occupation: 36, Retired Fiance's Age and Occupation: 33, Counsel/DOO for Small Gov't Contractor Engagement Date: August 8, 2007 Wedding Date: March, 2008 Venue: Still Looking! About Me: In all my dreams of the man I'd someday marry, I never pictured anyone as perfect for me as Mr. Tulip. So now we just have to make it through the craziness of the wedding and the moving in together! I love crafts, sewing, jewelry making, and photography, so am looking forward to this chance for DIY fun. When not wedding planning, I'm playing with our dog and 4 cats, Ebay shopping, or watching too much TV (often simultaneously!).

Do Clothes Make the Bride?

May 9th, 2008 @ 4:14 pm by Mrs. Tulip

Maybe not, but they certainly influence the style of your wedding and the way you feel about yourself all day….

Here’s a rundown of what I wore on our own Big Day. (All made much more fabulous thanks to the photography of Punam Bean.)

Dress: Alfred Angelo 1839

Keeping It In Perspective

May 9th, 2008 @ 3:48 pm by Miss Hummingbird

Last night, Mr. Hum and I went to meet with our wedding officiant for the first time. I will blog about the details later, but as we talked, we got on to the topic of things that can go wrong at a wedding. Having conducted almost 60 weddings since she was ordained three years ago and having been married herself, she’d experienced a number of crazy things at weddings. She herself was the victim of a goof when during her own New Zealand based wedding, one of her fake nails flew off during the ceremony.

However, the worst situation she’d ever encountered was a couple of years ago with a couple in the Halton Hills area. The bride and groom were accountants, a very orderly pair, and had planned the wedding down to the last detail. The day before, they set up their reception hall and it was perfect. Beautiful fresh orchids, little gifts for everyone, the whole shebang.

Unfortunately, no matter how orderly the couple was, fate intervened and the reception hall they had so painstakingly set up burned to the ground the night before the wedding. All the things they had set up and all the hard work they had done planning their wedding was for nothing and at 2 AM the day they were to get married, they had to suddenly start over.

Anonymous Blogging?

I’m off to Philly for the weekend for my MOH Carolyn’s wedding (eeeeeeeeeeeeee! I’m so excited! And let’s get some collective fingers-crossing that the weather holds out for her!). But first, this has been on my mind and I’m wondering if I’m the only one…

I started reading weddingbee sometime last summer, but didn’t get up the nerve to apply to be a bee until this past winter. Part of the reason was that I was a little scared of all you crazy strangers out there reading about my personal stuff. :) Mr. Tiramisu was a little concerned too, and I still don’t think he’s totally psyched about all the pictures I post of him. (And I’m about to post another- ha!). But I’m sort of over it now, and I lurrrrve being a bee, so it’s worth it to lose a little of the wedding secrecy. (And all you crazy strangers have turned out to be awesome in the advice and support department!)

Here you go Mr. Tiramisu- a totally incognito picture of you:

Au Naturale

May 9th, 2008 @ 2:40 pm by Miss Flamingo

If there is one thing I am comfortable with, it’s going braless. I’m not afraid to say it - I like my boobs and letting them free once in a while has never hurt anyone.

When I tried on my dress I went au naturel and it fit perfectly - little or no alterations needed to be done. I know it’s pretty to have the matchy matchy undergarments, but I will be much more comfortable with no bra.

That being said, is anyone else going all natural for the big day?

Miss Gingerbread's Picture

Trying to plan a wedding in a new city, not to mention a new country, is tough, but the fact that we can get legally married here more than makes up for it! The wedding will be an opportunity for most of our family and friends to see our new city for the first time so it will be both a wedding and a reunion. Besides my future wife, I am also madly in love with a good bargain, Swedish pastries, Tivo, and my two dogs and calico cat (in no particular order).
About Miss Gingerbread

Obviously, I’m looking forward to my wedding day, but what I’m really excited about is the day before the wedding! Since we only recently moved to Vancouver, most of our guests haven’t seen where we live, so we’ve decided to do a BBQ/housewarming /rehearsal dinner! All of our guests will be invited.

World’s Shortest Tribute Video

May 9th, 2008 @ 1:38 pm by Mrs. Lovebug

I know I promised professional photos would be my next post - and they’re coming very, very soon, I promise! - but I wanted to sneak this in really fast-like.

It’s a super short little video I cobbled together to show at the reception. Early on, my grand plan had been to get loads of footage of Mr. Lovebug that I could make into a sweet, full-length video for him. But he absolutely wigs out whenever I film him. It was impossible to get more than thirty seconds of him doing anything.

So I had to make do with the handful of random clips I had. It’s less than two minutes, but it a) fits the theme of the wedding, b) was a total surprise, and c) made everyone laugh, so d) I was happy. :)

Under the Eiffel Tower

May 9th, 2008 @ 1:08 pm by Miss Cookie

During our long distance relationship, Mr. Cookie and I spent countless hours on the phone, and Europe was one of our main conversations. Right after college I got a job in London, and during that time I was able to travel around most of Europe. Mr. Cookie had never been to Europe, so we decided that our first big vacation together would be a two week backpacking trek through England, France, Germany, The Netherlands, and Belgium.

Lit From Within

May 9th, 2008 @ 12:33 pm by Miss Jasmine

I decided to keep the ball rolling on my mom’s wonderful DIY projects. Since I’ve neglected to create anything truly fabulous for the wedding that I can share with all of you, I’m hoping my mom’s contributions will suffice :)

Today’s project is my mom’s shimmery gold votives. We got the inspiration for this idea from the super talented and creative Mrs. Emerald. She created some truly beautiful votives for her wedding. My mom decided to follow Mrs. Emerald’s example and create votives for my wedding– and we loved the results!

First, we purchased plain glass votives off Ebay for a great price. Then my mom created a paper template using Mrs. Emerald’s great instructions.

I went to school to study Magazine Journalism, ended up with a second major in Japanese language, and now work at a company that makes software for libraries. I love writing, computers, photography, and the great outdoors. I spend most of my time playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band or geeking out online with Mr. Cherry Pie. I'm happiest when I'm on the road, especially traveling abroad, or just nesting quietly at home with my sweetie, who is a fabulous cook and bakes a delicious rendition of a certain cherry-filled dessert!
About Miss Cherry Pie

Note: This post was contributed by Mr. Cherry Pie.

Miss Cherry Pie spends a decent amount of time thinking about what she’s going to wear to the wedding. Dress, hair, make-up, shoes, etc. Until this weekend I’d considered it pretty much straightforward that I’d wear a rented tuxedo. Last weekend though, I started entertaining the idea of getting a suit instead.
