I’m totally in love with this particular bridal bouquet.

I think the gown that I might be going with - if it doesn’t make me look like a heifer - is ivory, and the colors of these flowers will be magnificent.

Something a little similar, but smaller it seems.

I absolutely love peonies, but my venue wedding planner Francesca made it sound like they might be more expensive…

I am currently on a site called Yelp! - it has reviews on businesses by real people like you and I. I use it a lot especially for wedding related things such as invitation/print shops and bakeries. So if you’re ever on it, go look at my reviews, add me or whatever else! I like it since it has a bunch of cities and you…

We’ve talked about Spanx to death here on weddingbee, and I’ve heard nothing but raves about them. But now I really need your help deciding which one to purchase because I’m planning on wearing them to the next wedding I attend (the couple reads weddingbee so now they’re gonna know I’m wearing Spanx! ).

These are the three I’m deciding between:

Slim Incognito Seamless Control Panty, $42…

I love Iomoi’s bold, modern graphic designs! They carry a great selection of custom invitations, stationery, address labels, paperweights, coasters and matches - it’s a one stop shop for wedding stationery and gifts.

I am SO happy to be a new member of the Wedding Bee team! Thanks Mrs. Bee :). My name is Gina (aka Miss Sunflower) and my fiance’s name is David - we’ll be married in April 2008. I’ve been consulting weddingbee for weeks now b/c of the wealth of information available, and have gotten so many fabulous ideas. It has inspired me to share…

Mr. Spider has long said that he wants diamonds on his wedding band. I thought he meant small dispersed diamonds in one of those uber modern bands like this:

Blue Nile: Platinum Burnished Diamond Band

Worried that he might be thinking more along the lines of a P. Diddy blinged out pinky ring, we went down to Chinatown this past weekend to cruise the jewelry shops for…

Hahahaha… Guess what I found on edressme.com!

It’s nice to know that I can WEAR my color scheme if I ever had the desire to… you know, in case I ever wanted to perfectly match my invitations and reception decor.

Please welcome the newest addition to the weddingbee team - Miss Sunflower!

I have secret love for opera length gloves. I especially like these from Carolina Amato because of the three pearl buttons at the wrist.

I have absolutely no use for them, and they would probably make me look like a crazy ninja or something (that model isn’t helping any), but I have great love for them nonetheless.

Available at Nordstrom and Perfect Details (for about $20 less).

Today we’re going live with our new site redesign!

This was our hardest redesign yet. We went through six iterations, trying to balance all the feedback we’ve gotten with the business needs of the site:

• We wanted to create room for small ad sponsorships
• But we didn’t want the site to look too busy or cramped
• Plus we got feedback that the tags module shouldn’t be public
• And a bunch…

Last night Mr. Spider and I met with our officiant, Pastor April Gismondi. I am Buddhist but Mr. Spider and his family are not religious, so we were looking for a flexible officiant willing and able to incorporate some Buddhist philosophies. I found Pastor April on the Long Island Weddings forum among raves about her personalized and natural style and her ability to make couples…

Thanks to everyone who entered yesterday’s color scheme contest! Using our highly scientific method of selecting a winner (aka multiple coin tosses), imhkim is the winner of the Yasmena wristlet sport bag. She suggested the following color scheme for a summer wedding:

Cream base table covers w/ aqua and minty green contrasters on top. Put a mirror on the center of the table with lots of…

Looking for a modern invitation? I just stumbled across Blue Skies and Daisies, which offers both wedding invitations and wedding Web sites. They do both custom and “ready to wear invites,” all in sleek styles. Looks like the run for about $7 a set. Here are some that I thought were cute:

INTERTWINED ZEAL INVITATION:

SWIRL + TWIRL:

CHERRY BLOSSOM:

In today’s beehive:

• Bebe is forgoing favors and asking guests to donate to a charity. She’s not having a seated dinner but is thinking of placing in “lieu of favors” cards thruout the venue. Do you have any other creative ideas?

I’m one of those crazy people who had to get the matching diamond band to go with my pave engagement ring…

BUT - I’m not sure I’m going to want to wear the diamond band alllll the time, since gunk could get stuck in between the diamonds, I’d be heartbroken if it fell off when I was swimming, etc. So I have decided that I need…
