Reader Molly tipped us off to Felix Doolittle’s delightfully charming illustrated papers. I’ve actually seen him on Martha Stewart where he hand painted individual wedding invitations! His line includes note cards, thank you cards, fill-in invites (for bridal showers), customized return address labels, and save the date stickers.

While I don’t like the idea of address labels on invitations, you have much more leeway with save…

Since Audrey asked after my ring, over in the beehive, I thought I ought to post a pic.

As I mentioned in the comments there, I ended up with a cushion-cut stone after a lifetime of lusting after Asschers and emeralds… Now Mr. Daisy and I knew we were getting engaged (from just about the moment we met), so we did have some ring discussion pre-engagement.…

With almost 6 months to go till’ the wedding day, I’m ready, set with almost everything and can’t wait until the day I can be a married woman.

The Rockleigh Country Club
My venue. The pictures on the website do not do justice to how magnificent and wonderful the place really is. It just oozes with elegance.

So, who-all of you are going to submit a wedding announcement to the NY Times?

Marcus Aurelius is convinced everyone — read that as Miss Caterpillar — should submit an announcement. But, I’m a little afraid of Veiled Conceit.

I’ve been having these weird dreams lately.

It always starts the same. I am getting ready for my wedding. I’m not ready at all, but the ceremony starts. I start panicking, and realize that they can’t hold off the ceremony just for me. I end up having to walk down the aisle in white sneakers, untied laces, an unzipped wedding dress, hair in rollers, no…

You’ve had blogs about creative wedding ideas and such but what about how to pay for them?! Know of any good credit cards that offer 0 % down for one year so when the year comes, our wedding gifts (cash) will be used to pay for the the credit cards? Anyone have any other ideas on how to pay for the wedding????

I’m getting married May…

Dear Weddingbee Readers,

I have (want ;)) to take a much needed day off today, but the other bees will be buzzing. See you all tomorrow and enjoy your Thursdays!

Mrs. Bee

Ok I admit it, the post below is my shameless attempt to inspire my BMs into planning a shower that will make me twirl and clap like a little girl. One of my BMs just revealed to me that the wheels are already in motion for planning the bridal shower extravaganza of the year - YAY~!!!

I told Mr. Spider over the phone just now…

We’re starting a new feature called the Beehive!

We get a lot of reader email at weddingbee, and while we’d love to help each and every one of you, unfortunately we can’t answer every single question. Well how great would it be, if we could tap into the collective wisdom of our readers? I’m sure many of you have oodles of great ideas, advice and…

Certain parts of wedding planning make you want to beat your own head with a shoe, and then certain parts make you wanna twirl around and clap your hands like a little girl. Mrs. Bee posted about Jin Patisserie on weddingbee a few months ago and I’ve seen it mentioned on other blogs, but I didn’t take a good look at the website until this…

Figleaves sale going on now.

Throughout this entire wedding process, I’ve been asking Mr. Butterfly what he thought of everything.

“Do you like these flowers?”
“What about the color scheme?”
“Which one do you like better?”

And all of us brides know that the wrong answer to any of these questions is “I don’t care.” It is so infuriating when he says that!! Especially when he backs it up with “It’s your wedding, honey!”…

Beautiful and vibrant placecard arrangement by LMD Floral Events. Owner Lewis Miller (a Belle Fleur alum) does some gorgeously dramatic work.

I was wondering what are appropriate gifts for bridal showers? More specifically, how much should you spend?

Thank you,

Julie

Dear Julie,

By this time your friend has probably created a registry, so feel free to purchase anything off of it within your price range. If the bride doesn’t have a registry, common presents include small appliances or cooking utensils (wrapped together with a pretty ribbon would make…
