Remember back when I posted the tissue paper bouquet on one of Martha Stewart’s wedding magazines? Well, I finally got around to trying to make one. I was going to wait until I made 25 flowers ie. a full bouquet, but I got so excited at how they were turning out I just had to show you now.

Here are the two main flowers I picked…

For our wedding programs, I thought it would be nice to include a quote or two about love. And be as it may, I am no poet. Rather, I’ve decided to rely on the works of John Bartlett. Here are a few samplings of his work. “True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.” “Love me tender, love me sweet,…

I stopped into Pier 1 one afternoon after work just to see what kind of merchandise they had to offer, and I found some things that I really like. I think I may have to talk to Mr. Sunflower about the possibility registering for a few things there:

Autumn Leaf & Brown Carafe Dinnerware

We are going out tonight for Halloween. Any guesses as to what I am going to be?

Anna Niponica custom designs beautiful dresses out of gorgeous silk kimonos — *sigh* They are based in Japan, however, they do accept orders from overseas via Paypal.

I was just reading our new Reader’s Digest in…well…the place where everyone reads Reader’s Digest (c’mon, it can’t just be a coincidence how neatly it fits on the back of the toilet!) and stumbled across this little gem:

(in an article on The Joy of Cooking):
“Recipe testers used 485 pounds of red meat and 3,000 eggs to guarantee that each recipe was worthy of inclusion.”

Don’t they…

For those that don’t know me personally, one of the many nicknames I have is Frodo. Mainly because I am vertically challenged (5′2″).

Anyway I found a picture online that’s similar to my wedding band:

Two eternity bands in white gold with a total of 1 carats in diamonds all stacked together. It is thin enough to beautifully complement my delicate engagement ring. I wanted to…

That is how I am feeling right now. I LOVE this pink dress. But unfortunately, I think it is a little too fitted to be the bridesmaid dress.

Here’s a pic of my e-ring and the matching band:

Mr. Sunflower plans on getting two of the bands for me to wear on either side of the ring - my mom has something very similar and he likes the look… as do I.

I’ve been looking for some ideas for Mr. Sunflower’s wedding bands - I say bands because I’d like him to have something…

Mrs. Bee here.

For the first 10 months of our relationship, Mr. Bee and I were long distance so our main mode of communication was the phone. One time we even talked a record 10 hours straight.

But since Mr. Bee and I moved in together, we hardly ever talk on the phone. We’re both online 24/7 so our main mode of communication is im. We’ve…

I’m overwhelmed.

Work has been incredibly stressful lately. I really have to finish several projects before I leave for the wedding/honeymoon vacation. I also have a ton of school things to do, including studying for a final, writing a paper, and trying to participate in my group project while I’m on my honeymoon. Add the two things to my hectic schedule and every little thing I…

Yet another great find from Wonderful Graffiti!

These suckers are just too cute for words. They would make a great favor for wedding guests alone or as a part of larger candy buffet. The sweet treats come in pink, green, yellow, blue, orange and purple. They even come with little tags that say “sucker for love”. I just might have to snatch a few of these…

Look what I just discovered!

Moi:

I need your help picking a first dance song! Mr. BOP and I love music in general but don’t necessarily have “our song.” We do, though, want to stick to the classics. We’ve thought of “The Way You Look Tonight” by Frank Sinatra and “Unforgettable” by Natalie Cole and her father, but we’re not sure if either of those are it. If it helps, the…
