According to a survey conducted by David’s Bridal, finding a wedding venue topped the list of wedding related stress, followed by choosing the perfect dress. Meanwhile a poll conducted by Leflein Associates found that 2/3 of survey respondents said finding flattering bridesmaids dresses for different body types were the biggest problem.

I gotta say bridesmaids dresses were definitely my number one cause of…

A few years back, Mr. Butterfly and I took a mini trip to Miami for our annual summer vacation. We ate at the Blue Door restaurant in the Delano Hotel (a favorite of celebs) and hung out at the bar at the pool.

I fell in love with the Delano and its’ crisp white bungalows.

So for our honeymoon, we are thinking of going and…

I was extra grumpy when I woke up this morning. Probably due to leftover angst from last night’s NBA game. (Oooohh Mavs… That game was yours! How could you let it slip away?!)

To take my mind off the loss, I flipped on the TV. And lo and behold, there was a televised wedding on Live with Regis and Kelly.

Now I am not a morning person.…

We featured 2Pyromaineiacs’ super cool matches awhile back, and the founder Reiko wrote me a most wonderful email thanking me. Today I received a little surprise package from her in the mail - 2 Simply Divine votive candles, 1 Glimmers of Light travel candle, 2 boxes of Glimmer Stiks, and 2 boxes of Haute Sticks!

The Glimmer Stiks and Haute Stiks boxes are shaped like little purses.

Inside the purse, you’ll…

I got my color samples!!

Ok, I am way too excited about this for a normal person (but I’m not normal, so it’s fine). You see, once I had decided on a color scheme, I felt that I could move on to the rest of the projects for the wedding. But, how do I select the colors to match the flowers without ever seeing the…

Mr. Grasshopper and I cannot decide where to go for our honeymoon. We’ve been doing research all weekend and just don’t know which is the best location for us. Before we look at one more villa or beach web site, I am reaching out to the weddingbee readers to ask, “Where do you think we should go for our honeymoon?”

We are looking to go right…

Guess who’s bridesmaids are buying $500 bridesmaid dresses?

Yes, that’s right, mine.

But, before anyone takes me to task, I would like to say that this was not my idea. The parameters for the Mr. & Miss Caterpillar wedding were: wear what you want, and it would be nice if it were light blue. I didn’t want the girls stuck with dresses that they couldn’t wear again,…

Vera Wang Sample Sale
Penn Plaza Pavilion
7th Ave and 33rd St.
June 17th, 8am-5pm

I have a confession to make. I’ve known about the Vera Wang sample sale for more than a week and I didn’t blog about it. And when news finally hit weddingbee, I prayed that people wouldn’t see it. Why? Well shit, it’s a bridezilla eat bridezilla world out there and every little advantage…

Everyone has a rough time paring down their guest list, but for one potential guest, I just don’t know if she will get an invitation. She is super sweet and loving, but she can also be a bit exuberant at times, is known to voice her opinion when not happy, and enjoys offering people a hearty jump when greeting them. “Who is this freak?!” you…

Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl is engaged to her musician boyfriend, Josh Kelley.

She’s going to make a beautiful bride!

Ladies, so sorry to go MIA. I am getting married this weekend! So lots and lots to do and not enough time to do it. I will leave you with some details…

Out-of-town guest bags:

Programs all in a row …

Ringbearer pillows (and one for the flower girl so she’s not jealous)

I think the flowers in the hair are really sweet.

A reader emailed me on Monday asking where she could rent a specific type of candelabra. Now we usually don’t answer questions like this because they are so specific; we try to focus on questions that can help a broader audience and that we can post on weddingbee.

But I decided to help her out, and forwarded her question to one of my wedding planner friends.…

I’m going in for my first hair trial at the end of this month. I have no clue as to what I want to do for my hair. Apparently, my hair stylist does, because he gave me a perm a few months ago, and told me to take good care of it because it was my “wedding hair.”

Do I put it up all the way?…

Crate and Barrel is having a summer sale. Save up to 50% off select items. You may want to check out their selection of vases and candlelight.

Here’s a bright idea: citronella tealights to ward off bugs at outdoor weddings.
