Wedding Blog

When Maggie wrote us earlier this week about Bridesave.com, weddingbee readers told us that they had gone out of business and were not fulfilling any standing orders. David’s Bridal has just issued a press release stating that they will offer a discount on all off the rack dresses to any Bridesave customers.

Anyone who comes into a David’s Bridal store with a receipt from BrideSave.com will…

As I hinted in my previous blog, Mr. Butterfly and I have been researching hotels for several weeks now. We first wanted to have our hotel close to our OOT guests’ hotels, just in case something happened. But it turned out that we only booked 3 rooms total because everyone is staying with relatives, friends, and cheaper hotels. So this freed us up to choose…

I’ve never had a skin regime in my life. In fact, the truth is, I practice “gift bag skincare.” This means that I basically just use whatever products I get from give-away gift bags from different events I attend. I would not necessarily recommend this plan of action, but a girl does what she can. However, with one month left until the big day, I…

“I don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day.”

Oh, Linda Evangelista, you sure knew what time it was. Taking engagement photos modeling is *tough* work, sister! I get it. That’s because last Thursday Mr. Daisy and I traipsed around the city for our engagement shoot, smiling and being casual and relaxed for hours on end. Try being casual and relaxed on cue. It’s not easy!…

I finally got my save the dates in from Tag and Company. This particular style, the one we chose, is called “luxe.”

They’re really great quality and relatively cheap too - only $3 per invite/save the date. This company specializes in save the dates, but they’re perfectly willing to change the wording to make it into a formal wedding invitation for free. They’re great and come…

This days of the week undies set is super cute for bridesmaids gifts! $68 at Urban Outfitters.

In my not-so-humble opinion, all future brides need a few failsafe methods of stress relief. Amid our hundreds of vendor meetings, countless DIY projects and endless phone conversations with ‘maids, moms, and MILs, the stress can really start to build up.

Now, we can take this out on our hapless fiances (which I’m sure Mr. Blueberry would really appreciate) or be attuned to ourselves. Being…

I’m starting to do research on makeup and hair for the wedding day, plus I’m seriously considering having my makeup/hair done for my engagement photo session coming up soon. I’m trying to stay away from wedding photos and styles since they all look very similiar each year. So I’m heading to the celebrity sites for Oscar 2006 photos or Asian music sites. They are great…

I think with all of the things going on with the wedding, Mr. Butterfly and I have gotten dumber. We apparently take days to come up with such simple solutions to all of our problems!

Example 1
For his parents’ friends who are not coming to the wedding but need an invitation anyway, we decided to give out just the invitation mounted on a backing layer. I…

katiey brought up the topic of exchanging wedding gifts with your groom in our beehive today. My mom wanted to buy Mr. Bee a fancy watch, which is a traditional groom’s gift in Korean culture. But Mr. Bee didn’t want it, so he got nothing. Poor Mr. Bee.

If you are, what type of gift…

In today’s hive:

• ncmz is looking for reasonably priced return labels that can be personalized.
• katiey has a friend who’s looking for a memorable gift to give her fiance on their wedding day. They’ve set a price limit of $75 and she’d like to give something useful or creative. Any suggestions?
• D is looking for unique gold necklaces between $60-$150 to give as bridesmaids gifts.

To add…

This past weekend, I went to D Wedding’s (one of my favorite bridal magazines) sponsored event, Haute Weddings - I completely forgot to bring my camera but there was so many great things to see there!

Congratulations Erynn! Your 5 hour movie quote/rose bouquet surprise proposal is the winner of the Most Romantic Contest. We’ll be sending you a copy of The Engaged Groom, Happy Anniversary, and a Paperbride Tip Kit.

Here’s to always keeping the romance alive!

Entry #1 - Joy

For one of my college friends, the maid of honor wrote out “The Story of Jes and Jim” (bride and groom) and turned it into a madlib. We were all given sheets to fill out adjectives, nouns, verbs, etc. Afterwards, we took turns reading our completed stories. It was a lot of fun because we all tried to guess how the story…

For a couple months now, I’ve been gathering suggestions on what food we should serve at the wedding. And while we can’t please absolutely everybody, since everything will be delicious (when aren’t desserts delicious?) I think people *should* survive if their most favorite-ever-pastry isn’t on the 20-foot buffet.

And with no further adieu, here’s the list:

(Note: the new Justin Timberlake song is on in the background,…
